                Popular Weekend Car Hire Choices

                As we work with a large amount of suppliers, we can also offer a huge fleet of different cars & car sizes dependent upon your situation. Here are a few of the options we have available that could be perfect for your weekend getaway.

                • Small City Car
                • If you’re planning a long weekend city getaway in the likes of Venice or Paris, then a small car may be perfect for what you need. It’s typically the lowest cost & would usually be a car the size of a Ford Ka for example.

                • Compact Car
                • The compact car will give you a little more room than that of a small car, making it ideal for slightly longer trips, more luggage or space for a few more passengers. Cars in this range would typically be the size of a Peugeot 308.

                • Standard Car
                • The standard size car offered by hire companies is often ideal for a family getaway with a decent amount of driving. It offers more space and comfort than a compact car & will typically be a saloon vehicle so there is plenty of boot space. An example of the type of car you would get in this range from car hire companies is a Ford Mondeo.

                • Estate Cars
                • An estate car is perfect for things like a short skiing holiday or a long drive staycation type getaway. It’s perfect for a medium sized family and offers tons of space to store luggage. An example of a car in this range would be a Skoda Octavia Estate.

                • Premium Cars
                • Fancy travelling in a bit more style & comfort? If you’re willing to spend a little bit more on a hired car you can get something in the premium category. These are typically large saloon vehicles with a premium brand such as Audi or BMW. An example of a premium car hire would be an Audi A4.

                • 4x4s
                • Another option that will provide you with a little more space and the same premium feel as the premium car range is to get a 4×4. These large cars are perfect for travelling long distances, holding lots of luggage & still travelling in comfort with the whole family. An example of a car in this range would be a BMW X5.

                Get A Great Weekend Car Hire Deal

                Like previously mentioned we can get some great deals on hired cars as we compare all the different suppliers. Many suppliers offer weekend specific offers like Avis who run a 3-days for the price of 2 in certain locations for example, but that may not necessarily mean they offer the best overall price.

                We take all these offers & deals into account when looking for your hired vehicle and compare everything for you to get you the lowest overall price for your car hire for a weekend.

                Popular Weekend Car Hire Locations

                There are several popular weekend break locations in which you may want to make the most of your time by hiring a car. Here are just a few of them:

                Do I need to pass a credit check if using my debit card to hire?

                If renting a car in the UK and you are a UK resident most of the large multinational suppliers will carry out an electronic address check to ensure you have strong enough links to the address provided. However most of the suppliers with the exception of 1 or 2, still carry out the same checks so not unique to when you need to hire via a debit card. Key indicator are if you are named on the Electoral Register and named on the council tax bill.

                When renting a car overseas as an inbound client our suppliers do not carry out any checks.

                Do I need to leave a deposit if hiring with a debit card?

                Most suppliers do require a security deposit when renting a car, in the UK we have a range of options. The best value suppliers would request a £200.00 – £300.00 deposit. However we do have selected locations where our supplier does not require any deposit, so a full zero deposit.

                In Europe we have options where you can just leave a fuel deposit of 110 EUR, and there is no mandatory requirement to take the Super Cover as this can be the case with some of the smaller budget suppliers.
