Things to know before hiring a car

Picking the right car is a good start. Here's everything else to keep in mind before you get behind the wheel — from what to bring to what's included in the price.

Minimum age to hire

Most drivers must be at least 21–25 to hire a car.

The exact car hire age limit depends on the car hire provider and the country's driving rules. Drivers under 25 might need to pay a young driver fee, and some larger or premium Standard cars might have stricter age restrictions.

What documents to bring

Your licence and credit card are essential.

Bring your driving licence and a credit card — you'll need both when you collect the car. Some companies accept debit cards, but it's not guaranteed. If you're hiring abroad, check whether you'll need an International Driving Permit (IDP) and organise that before you travel.

Deposits explained

It's a temporary hold on your card, not a payment.

When you collect the car, the provider places a temporary hold on your card instead of taking a payment. The amount varies depending on the car, the rental company and the location. Once you return the car without damage, the hold is removed. Depending on your bank, this can take a few days.

Car hire insurance

Insurance is included, but there's an excess.

Most car hire includes a collision damage waiver (CDW) which covers you for theft and damage. If something happens to the car, you need to pay a set amount known as the excess. Excess insurance covers that amount if you'd rather not take the risk.

Fuel and mileage policies

Look out for full-to-full policies.

Full-to-full is usually the best value for money. You collect the car with a full tank and return it full, so you only pay for what you use. Pre-paid or return-empty fuel policies can end up costing more. If you're planning a long drive in your Standard car, check whether unlimited mileage is included.

Extras to budget for

Anything over and above the vehicle and one driver.

Child seats, sat navs, roadside assistance and additional drivers are all charged on top, per day. Prices vary by location and the car hire company. If you want any of these for your Standard car rental, check the daily cost before you book.
