Information for Under 25s
- Europcar: Drivers must be over 22.
- Avis, Hertz and Budget: Drivers must be over 23.
Most providers charge their under 25s a young driver’s surcharge which is an additional fee added to each rental day. As young drivers are considered to be a “high risk”, providers are entitled to add this charge to your booking.
Documents Needed
You will need to present your driving license, passport or other form of ID and your booking reference when you collect your vehicle. Your rental may be cancelled if you forget any of these items so keep them in your hand luggage and on you at all times.
You will also need to present a valid credit card. Remember if your vehicle is damaged during your rental, the car hire providers will charge the policy excess amount to this credit card to pay for the damage.
Insurance
You must remember your personal car insurance does not cover you for your car hire. Car hire providers will try and encourage you to buy insurance to cover your rental and may throw words at you like CDW and TW. CDW stands for Collision Damage Waiver and TW stands for Theft Waiver. These terms means you are covered to a certain extent for damage to the vehicle but it does not cover your excess. If something happens to your vehicle and it needs repairing you will be charged an additional fee called excess which can be anything up to £2,000. To avoid this charge, buy car hire excess insurance from a specialist provider, or from the car rental company you use.
Fuel Charges
So many options, so many fuel policies – it can be very confusing to know what’s the best option! This Knowing your Fuel Policies blog will certainly help clear up some confusion!
At a glance, the two policies to watch out for are Full to Full and Full to Empty. For both, you will have to pay for a full tank of fuel upon collection and with one, you’ll need to return the car with a full tank and the other with an empty tank.
Damage to the vehicle Charges
The first thing you should do when you receive the keys to your rental vehicle is check your car for existing damage, such as scratches, dents or marks on both the interior and exterior. If you find anything you should inform the car hire provider and make sure they document it on their damage report. If you don’t you may find yourself with a damage charge even though they were on the vehicle before your rental started. If they are not aware of the damage they will assume it was your fault and charge you. Although you may be excited or tired and just want to start your car hire as soon as possible, taking 3 minutes to check the car could save you a considerable amount of money.
Airport Surcharge
One Way Hire Charge
If you are planning your trip to, from or between airports you may wish to hire a one way rental. There is usually an additional charge for the privilege of this service. You can, however, save money by booking with Europcar. They offer their customers a service called Airport Connect which is a one way hire to and from any UK Europcar branch from only £49.
Late Charges
If you return your vehicle late you may be charged an additional day’s hire. Most car hire providers offer a 59 minute grace period but you would need to check this with them. To avoid being late, plan your journey carefully and leave enough time to get back to your return location taking into consideration possible traffic.
