Plan two useful driving windows
Check arrival and departure timing before building the route. Keep one base rather than assuming a short stay can include every part of the island. If part of the weekend is spent walking near the accommodation, compare a shorter rental with whole-stay collection.

A situation worth thinking through
A late Friday arrival and early Sunday flight can leave less useful driving time than the calendar dates imply.
Rental length and timing: the wider picture
Choose the rental period around the days you need the vehicle and the handover arrangements you can confirm. Calendar dates alone are not enough: pickup and return times can affect both availability and the quote.
For an extended stay, ask about the complete period, driver requirements, permitted use and any maintenance or contact arrangements. Do not assume that extending a short booking preserves its original daily price or vehicle. For a shorter stay, include transport before collection and after return when comparing value. Any change to the agreement should be confirmed with the provider before the original return time.
