Check before booking
When you find an offer you like, review the important rental terms & conditions before confirming your booking. This helps avoid surprises at pick-up and makes sure the rental conditions suit your needs.
Before you book, check the important details
- Fuel policy: check how much fuel the car is supplied with and how it should be returned.
- Mileage: check whether mileage is unlimited or whether an allowance applies.
- Security deposit: check how much may be held on the main driver's payment card.
- Insurance excess: check the excess that applies to the rental and the cover included.
- Cancellation: check the cancellation deadline and any charges that may apply.
- Driver and payment requirements: check age and licence requirements and make sure you have an accepted payment card for collection.
Also check any additional conditions that are relevant to your trip, such as additional drivers, one-way rentals, cross-border travel or optional extras.
Choose the right vehicle for your trip
Start by choosing a vehicle category that suits the number of passengers, your luggage and the type of driving you plan to do.
- Mini and economy: useful for city driving, shorter journeys and travellers with less luggage.
- Compact and intermediate: a good balance of passenger space, luggage capacity and comfort.
- Estate, full-size and SUV: worth considering for families, groups or longer journeys requiring more space.
- MPV and larger vehicles: useful for larger groups, but check luggage capacity when all seats are occupied.
- Automatic: select an automatic category when searching if automatic transmission is important to you.
The make and model displayed in car hire results is usually an example of the vehicle category rather than a guaranteed vehicle. Look for wording such as “or similar” and check the passenger and luggage capacity shown with the offer.

Car Hire FAQs
How do I compare car hire prices?
Enter your collection location, travel dates, times and driver age to search available offers. Compare the prices and vehicle categories, then check the rental conditions attached to any offer you are considering.
What should I check before booking a hire car?
Check the fuel policy, mileage allowance, security deposit, insurance excess, cancellation conditions and any driver, licence or payment-card requirements that apply.
Is the cheapest car hire offer always the best choice?
Not necessarily. Price is a useful way to compare available cars, but check the conditions of an offer before booking. A cheaper rental may, for example, have limited mileage, a larger deposit or conditions that do not suit your trip.
Is a particular make and model guaranteed?
Usually not. Car hire results generally show a vehicle category with an example vehicle. A similar vehicle within the same category may be supplied.
Is Car Hire Trawler the same company as CarTrawler?
No. Car Hire Trawler is an independent comparison website. Its car hire search and booking journey is powered by the CarTrawler platform.
