Comparing car hire? Here's what you need to know

We work with more than 1,000 car hire providers worldwide, so we know our stuff when it comes to car hire. From insurance to fuel policies, here's what's helpful to know when you're comparing car hire deals.

Age limits

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

Car hire age limits vary between companies — most set the minimum age between 21 and 25. If you're under 25, you may need to pay a young driver fee, and it won't always show up in the price when you're comparing. Some premium or larger cars have higher age limits too.

Documents to bring

Your licence and a credit card are a must.

Every company will ask for your driving licence and a credit card. Some accept debit cards, but it's not guaranteed. If you're hiring somewhere that requires an International Driving Permit (IDP), get one before you travel.

Car hire deposits

The deposit is a hold on your card, not a payment.

When you compare prices, remember the deposit isn't part of the rental cost. It's a separate hold placed on your card when you pick up the car. You get it back once you return the car without damage, usually within a few days.

Car hire insurance

Insurance is included, but there's an excess.

CDW (collision damage waiver) is included with most car hire, covering damage and theft. But you'll need to pay an excess if something goes wrong with the car. Excess amounts vary between providers, so it's worth comparing. You can take out excess insurance to cover it.

Fuel and mileage policies

Full-to-full is usually the best value.

Full-to-full means you get the car with a full tank and return it full. So, you only pay for what you use. Pre-paid options can look convenient but often cost more. Also check whether unlimited mileage is included, as charges for going over the limit can add up.

What costs extra

The price covers the car and one driver.

Child seats, additional drivers, roadside assistance and sat navs are generally charged on top of the listed price. If you know you'll need them, make sure to include when you're comparing. Costs vary by location and can add up on longer hires.
