How to compare car rental
Check driver age rules, extra-driver fees and the licence you must show.
An airport listing may mean a desk in the terminal or a shuttle to a depot; the offer says which.
Read the rules for one-way rentals and for taking the car across a border.
Photograph the car at pickup and at return, and keep the fuel receipt.
Child seats and extra drivers are charged separately, so include them in your comparison.
Standard cover often leaves out tyres, windscreen and underbody; the terms list the exclusions.
Included cover and excess differ between offers; compare those lines as well as the price.
Fuel and mileage rules change the real cost, so read them on the offer.
Most desks hold a deposit on a card in the main driver's name; the terms give the amount and the card type.
Before you book
A price seen last week may have changed; compare providers at the same time.
Read the cancellation and change terms shown at checkout, which are the ones that bind the booking.
Check the currency you are charged in and whether your card adds a foreign transaction fee.
Save your confirmation offline, since you may need it without data.
Changes and questions go to the provider, which is the party holding your booking.
