Important information you need before you rent a car

And of course, a few handy tips!
- Book early: The more in advance you book, the better deal you’ll get! Use the Car Hire Centre widget above to run your quote now.
- Check, Check, Check!: Once you receive your vehicle, check it for any damage. Be sure to take pictures and ensure the rental staff note down the pre-existing damage (if it isn’t already) to avoid being charged for it when you return the car.
- Know your vehicle: Be sure to familiarise yourself with the car before you leave the lot, especially if you’ll be driving on the opposite side of the car than you’re used to!
- Opt for a Sat-Nav: Especially if you don’t know the area and don’t want to use all the data on your phone
