Hiring a car can be an expensive business – unless you shop around. You have two main choices in hiring a car:

1. Go direct and hire a car with the car hire company. Major hire car companies represented in the UK include Hertz, Sixt, Alamo, and EasyCar. They often run special offers and promotions.

2. Use an aggregator that scans across a number of car hire companies to find a good deal. Major players include Ebookers, Carrentals.co.uk, Holiday Autos and Expedia.

Car Hire Excess Insurance

When hiring a car it’s worth getting Car Hire Excess insurance to protect yourself against the excess charges you are expected to pay if the car is damaged. You can insure yourself rather than the car and choose between annual policies for unlimited car hire or day rates. Taking out independent excess insurance is cheaper than taking out a car hire company’s excess insurance policy. Read more about Car Hire Excess Insurance here.
