about us

Welcome to The Car Rental Centre

Whilst you&#39;re in the UK, renting a vehicle is the best way to guarantee you can travel without having to wait for public transportation; not only does it give you the independence to come and go as you please, but it also gives you the possibility of exploring our many beautiful towns and villages. Now I don&#39;t know about you, but whenever I go away on holiday and rent a car, I end up burdened with most of the driving, which I don&#39;t mind, but occasionally it would be nice to be a passenger. Typically, most rental companies charge up to &euro;10 per day for an extra driver. So, at the Car Rental Centre, we have asked our providers to offer &quot;free extra drivers&quot; to which some have said yes, which is excellent news for you and your pocket.

If it says Free Extra Driver Included,&nbsp;

it means this supplier is giving you a choice to add the free extra driver when collecting your car.

Of course, your additional driver must be eligible to rent the car, be over 25 years of age etc., and be present to sign the rental agreement.

Free Extra Driver

Free Additional Driver Car Rental UK

Three things are essential firstly, your driver&#39;s license, secondly, a credit card, and last but not least, you with a valid reservation, hopefully with us at the car rental centre.

It&#39;s worth noting that all drivers must be over 25 years old, and the main driver must also have a credit card in their name. It is worth thinking about the amount of credit you have on your card, as the rental desk will preauthorize an amount to cover the estimated cost of the rental and the cost of the fuel, which can differ depending on the size of the rental car your taking, plus any security deposit typically 250. Having said all this, the security and fuel deposits are fully refundable when you return the car with the equivalent amount of fuel, usually a full tank, as most cars are rented out with.

When selecting your rental car, think beforehand about

<ul>
	<li>Luggage space</li>
	<li>Car size</li>
	<li>How many of you are travelling</li>
</ul>

It&#39;s imperative to remember that rental cars in Europe are much smaller than in the USA. This can be a positive, really, as some of the more minor roads (B roads) in the United Kingdom are exceptionally beautiful, leafy, and idyllic, but they are also very narrow, so a smaller car does help navigate the not-so-wide roads of the UK.

Think about parking; a smaller rental car is much easier to park; think about the fuel costs, again smaller rental cars are more cost-effective to run.

Think about your luggage. If good old Auntie Mavis from Manchester is putting you and your family up and saving you a load of money on a hotel bill, bless her, then you may be able to select a slightly smaller rental car again. You can get all your stuff in the car and make the journey, albeit with a few bags around the passenger in the back seat, but you can offload all the luggage when you arrive at your journey&#39;s end, and that rental car will then have plenty of room, as the luggage has been placed in good old Auntie Mavis&#39;s spare room.

Joking aside, look at the images when getting a quote for your rental car; we clearly display luggage capacity, which can be a good guide for you; just look for the logo. If you&#39;re still uncertain, contact us, and we will guarantee you choose the right rental car for your requirements.

One Way Car Rental In The UK

So you have booked your rental car and know you have an excess reduction to pay if you damage the vehicle, don&#39;t allow yourself to pay over the odds for insurance sold at the counter. The rental company can charge a fortune for this little extra. Don&#39;t let this happen; purchase beforehand. Many companies offer excess waiver insurance for a fraction of the cost you would pay at the rental counter. You will see some adverts for them on this page. Please check them out, as they could save you a small fortune.

How to Avoid Extra Charges for Car Rentals.

STEP 1

Call your auto insurance agent to see if your policy covers you while driving a rental. Loss and collision insurance are two of the highest costs when renting a car. Opting to decline the Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) and the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) can save you a lot of money on U.S. rentals (in some other countries, you are required to pay for the insurance, no matter what). Consider accepting LDW if your existing auto insurance does not cover a possible loss of use (LOU) claim by the rental company.

STEP 2

Read the membership guides to auto clubs like AAA, or senior organizations like AARP, if you are a member, and check the benefit packages of your credit cards and frequent-flier programs. These memberships may offer discounts, some insurance coverage, or provisions to waive some fees, such as extra driver charges.

STEP 3

Weigh convenience over savings by renting away from the airport. Airport-based car rental agencies pay concession fees to the airport and pass a portion of that cost on to customers. Airport authorities often charge targeted taxes on car rentals, too. Rates may also be cheaper at &quot;local&quot; rental locations--the term Hertz and Avis describe places aimed at local renters--usually found away from prime travel locations like airports or hotels. Remember that regional offices rarely operate 24 hours a day and that mileage restrictions may be in play. Assess the cost and time involved in getting to the local agency and weigh it against the convenience and added expense of renting at significant locations.

STEP 4

Check the company&#39;s drop-off policies, which may include hefty charges for one-way rentals or drop-offs at a different location. In some popular tourist destinations--Florida, for example--some companies allow customers to pick up at one airport and drop off at another for no extra charge.

STEP 5

Request frequent-flier credit for your car rental, and you likely will be charged a small daily fee to process that mileage. The details of these charges are listed in the &quot;Partners&quot; section of the rental company&#39;s website and vary from partner to partner. For example, costs for American Airlines mileage credit with Hertz are based on a percentage of the federal excise tax, approximately six cents a day. In contrast, Delta mileage credit will incur a 75-cent daily fee, capped at $5.25 per rental.

STEP 6

Research local gas prices the day before you use tools such as GasBuddy.com, GasPriceWatch.com or Mapquest. On arrival, compare local prices with the refill price offered by the rental company. Note that the refill rate is for a full gas tank, regardless of how much gas remains when you return the car. Make your choice before you leave the lot: Opt for the rental company&#39;s gas, and you will not have to worry about finding a gas station when you return the car. Choose to fill the tank yourself, and you likely will save. But fill the tank at a nearby station--if you return your vehicle with less than a full tank, the rental company&#39;s price to top it off will likely double, if not triple, the street price.

STEP 7

Consider which extras are vital. Child car seats are required by law in most locations, so factor that cost into your rental. GPS may be a time saver when travelling on business, and satellite radio can be a godsend in areas of the country where radio coverage is limited, but they may add to your bill.

Returning the car

STEP 1

Return the car on time. Many rental companies have abandoned or reduced the one-hour grace period they used to offer. Charges for extra hours or days vary. Some companies like Hertz charge extra hours until the amount reaches the additional day rate, usually higher than your actual day rate. Others, like Enterprise, set extra hours until the cost matches the real day rate; others, like Avis and Alamo, may kick up your real day rate as a penalty for a late return. Are you running late? Call ahead and ask the agent which is cheaper--extending your rental or paying late charges.

STEP 2

Do not return the car early before checking with the rental company. Some companies will invoke daily rates on a weekly rental if the vehicle is born prematurely, which can be higher than the weekly rate.

STEP 3

Contact the appropriate state&#39;s Better Business Bureau or State Attorney General&#39;s consumer division if any billing dispute arises with the company. Many state BBBs and government consumer advocates have detailed information on what rental companies can and cannot charge as defined by state law.
