Car Hire Prees

Sort the Licences Before Anything Else

Turning up without the right licence details is the quickest way to stall a handover. Before the day, dig out your licence, note any endorsements, and check whether each driver's details match the paperwork you were quoted on. Five minutes at home saves a queue at the desk.

Handover Times the Day Can Actually Absorb

A day with four stops leaves little slack, so build handover times the schedule can bear. Suppose your first appointment sits an hour after reaching the desk — a late pickup then pushes everything back. Book a collection slot with breathing space, and settle the return time the night before.

Put Insurance and Charges on the Table Early

Few things sour a trip faster than a charge you never discussed. Raise cover, excesses and fuel expectations during the enquiry, not at the desk. Ask what happens if a journey overruns or a stop adds miles, so the price you were quoted is the price you actually pay.

Match the Car to the Journeys, Not the Price Tag

It's tempting to pick the cheapest option and hope it copes. Yet a multi-stop day with shopping runs, luggage and a rear-facing child seat makes a small boot a daily frustration. List what each journey carries, then let the routes choose the size and features for you.
