Why hire a car?

Quite simply, the flexibility it offers you! No need to wait around and rely on public transport or pay over the odds for a week of taxis; simply jump in your rental car and off you go.

You'll have the freedom to explore your surroundings at will, knowing that you're driving a trusty vehicle from one of the top car hire providers in the business.

*Calls to this number will cost up to 7p per minute plus your phone company's network access charge.

Car Hire Excess Insurance

When hiring a car abroad, you know that you'll be libable for that car. For instance, if it were to get stolen or damaged, you'll need to pay the rental company when you're returning the car to them. However, with buying car hire excess insurance, you'll be protected from the extra cost as you can claim that money back should an accident occur. Majority of the car hire companies will add some form of insurance but it might not always include excess insurance or all the costs. So make sure to check different provider's policies when booking your car hire!

And of course, a few handy tips!

  • Book as early as you can: The more in advance you can book, the more money you'll save! Use the Car Hire Centre gadget above to get a quote and find the cheapest rates for your journey.
  • Check, Check and then Check again!: Once you pick up the keys to your vehicle, check over it for any damage. Take note of any slight scratches, body paint issues/ irregularities, seat quality (like any potential smudges or cigarette marks). Be sure to take pictures and ensure the rental staff write down the pre-existing damage (if it isn't already) so you can avoid being charged for someone else's damage when you return it.
  • Get to know your vehicle: Be sure to familiarise yourself with the car before you leave the car hire centre. Check you're up-to-date on UK driving laws and if anything's in a different place - such as Fiat 500s and KAs have a much higher gear stick to what you might be used to!
  • Opt for a Sat-Nav: Especially if you don't know the area and don't want to get charged for all that data on your phone!
