Look beyond the headline daily rate
A daily rate is only one part of a car hire quote. Compare the total for the same dates and times, including any extras you need. An extra day, different collection arrangement or optional item can change the total. Use like-for-like searches rather than comparing a short promotional rate with a quote for a different rental period.
Choose enough car for your plans
A small economy car may be a sensible starting point for a couple with light luggage. A larger group should check luggage space carefully before choosing the smallest category. Hiring a vehicle that cannot comfortably carry your passengers and bags can mean changing plans later. Compare the category details rather than relying on the photograph alone.
Keep the deposit separate from the hire price
The rental price, security deposit and insurance excess are different things. Read how the deposit is handled, what payment method is required and what charges could apply under the rental terms. Optional cover may change your exposure to some costs, but you should review its inclusions and exclusions before adding it.
Check the details that can change your budget
Review fuel instructions, additional-driver costs, child-seat requirements, collection times and cancellation conditions. Choose extras because you need them and compare the revised total before you confirm. No particular price is guaranteed by this guide: current rates and conditions appear in the booking results for your chosen dates.
