Easter is one of the busiest periods of the year when it comes to hiring a car. With most of the schools having 2 weeks holidays it is the first real chance of the year to get away for a break.

There are obviously lots of options at this time of year depending on the weather, if the Great British climate is been good to us then you may consider a ‘staycation’ and plan a trip within the Uk.

If the weather is typical for this time of year then you will most likely be looking top plan something abroad, Tenerife and Cyprus are popular in March / April time as they tend to have all year round sun. Whether you decide to stay in the UK or travel abroad, Easter Car Hire and family holidays can be a bit of a nightmare to organise, especially when travelling on a budget.

Once you’re set on hiring a car for Easter, take a look at some of these suggested breaks and road trips that are perfect for the Easter season:

Dublin Airport car rental via Easirent

Very helpful staff, Good quality vehicle and a very easy to use process. Only very small criticism was finding the shuttle bus, a phone call is required to find out you need to go to Zone 18, there are signposts telling you the direction to Zone 18 but no actual signs showing where Zone 18 actually is, but even with this very small detail it was a relatively easy process start to finish

Conor for the win

Dear Indigo Few weeks ago I booked car from Sixt through Indigo. Every time I was talking to any operator in sixt company I was misinformed and misguided. Today I spoke with Conor who works for Indigo. He was extremely kind and professional. In 1 hour he helped me more than 6 different operators within 3 weeks of talking to sixt. Thank You Conor for Your calm, kindness and exceptional professionalism. I would recommend

Índigo saved my bacon!

It was such a relief to hear about Indigo, I had a car hire booking with another company, who only took credit cards and charged an insane security deposit. With Indigo I was able to speak to someone over the phone and get it all sorted within 20 minutes! Thank you Sam, you were very helpful and made the process so easy and transparent.

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.

Top Tips For Easter Car Hire: Look Before You Book

Always consider the costs of all aspects of your holiday before booking anything, we see a lot of people that have booked the cheapest flights at a bargain price that means they arrive at 11.30 at night when only one car hire supplier is open and the hire car is quite expensive, compare this to an earlier flight when other suppliers are operating and you may find the car hire is a lot cheaper, and possibly saving you more than the later flights did.

Book In Advance

Leaving car hire until the last minute at anytime of year is quite risky, even more so at busy times like Easter, Bank Holiday Weekends & Christmas. Book well in advance and you will be surprised at the deals you can get.

Pick The Right Car

Family holidays can be stressful enough without having to worry if everybody and their luggage will fit in the car you have selected. Sometimes the first or cheapest option you see may not be the best for what you need, tying this in with booking in advance may mean that you get the car you need at a great price.

Pick The Right Supplier

Again this can be decided on price but as above the cheapest option is not always the best option for you. An example is that the cheapest suppliers tend to be the busiest, so you should expect delays at the airport when collecting your car. If you would rather not wait then choosing a supplier that is slightly more expensive may be for you.

As with any of our special offers and services we advise that you contact us before making a booking for Easter Car Hire, this way we can ensure that you will get exactly what you need and that you will not have any surprises when you go to collect your car.
