Confirm fit before choosing a category
Ask the rental team about the vehicle arrangement and follow the restraint manufacturer’s instructions. Consider airport handling and the time needed to install and check the restraint at collection. Carry the instructions you need instead of relying on mobile reception at the car park.

A situation worth thinking through
A family familiar with its own restraint still needs to confirm that it can be used correctly in the supplied rental vehicle.
Family travel: the wider picture
Plan a family rental around the people, child-restraint needs and luggage travelling together. A category’s seat count alone does not show whether the complete arrangement will work.
Tell the team about the configuration you need before selecting a category. Ask about restraint availability, fit and the process at collection, and confirm any charges in the quote. Allow time at handover to check the actual arrangement before setting off. Keep the first journey and the return-day schedule realistic for your group, including breaks and the time needed to load the car safely.

Does having my own seat remove the need to discuss it with the provider?
