Check before booking
Once you find a suitable offer, check the important rental terms before booking. This helps you make sure the offer and its conditions suit your trip.
Check the important details before booking
- Fuel policy: check how much fuel the vehicle is supplied with and how it needs to be returned.
- Mileage: check whether unlimited mileage is included or whether a limit applies.
- Security deposit: check the amount that may be held on the main driver’s payment card.
- 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 the age and driving licence requirements and make sure you have an accepted payment card for pick-up.
Also check any additional conditions relevant to your trip, such as extra 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 travellers, your luggage and the driving you have planned.
- Mini and economy: suitable for city driving, shorter trips and travellers with less luggage.
- Compact and intermediate: offer a good balance of passenger space, luggage capacity and comfort.
- Estate, full-size and SUV: may suit families, groups or longer trips where more space is needed.
- MPV and larger vehicles: suit larger groups, but check the luggage capacity when all seats are occupied.
- Automatic: select an automatic category when searching if an automatic transmission is important to you.
The make and model shown in car hire results are usually examples of the vehicle category and are not guaranteed. Look for wording such as “or similar” and check the stated passenger and luggage capacity.

Frequently asked questions about car hire
How do I compare car hire prices?
Enter your pick-up location, travel dates and times and the driver’s age to search available offers. Compare prices and vehicle categories, then review the rental terms for the offer you are considering.
What should I check before booking a hire car?
Check the fuel policy, mileage allowance, security deposit, excess, cancellation conditions and the requirements for the driver, driving licence and payment card.
Is the cheapest car hire offer always the best choice?
Not necessarily. Price is an important comparison point, but you should also review the conditions of the offer before booking. A cheaper offer may have limited mileage, a higher deposit or other conditions that do not suit your trip.
Is a particular make and model guaranteed?
Usually not. Car hire results normally show a vehicle category with an example vehicle. A similar vehicle from the same category may be supplied.
Is Car Hire Trawler the same company as CarTrawler?
No. Car Hire Trawler is an independent comparison website. The car hire search and booking process is powered by the CarTrawler platform.
