How to compare car rental
Check where the desk is and its opening hours against your arrival time.
Dropping the car elsewhere or crossing a border usually needs to be agreed in advance.
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.
Read what the provider's cover excludes, such as tyres, glass, the roof and the underside.
Check the excess, the amount you pay first in a claim, and what cover is already included.
Check the fuel policy and the mileage allowance.
Most desks hold a deposit on a card in the main driver's name; the terms give the amount and the card type.
Check driver age rules, extra-driver fees and the licence you must show.
Before you book
A name mismatch can cause trouble at the desk, so copy it from your document.
Pay on the provider's secure checkout and be wary of requests to pay outside it.
Compare what is included before comparing the price, since two offers rarely cover the same thing.
Government travel advice can change; read it when booking and before departure.
Note the provider's deadline for free changes, if it offers one, in your calendar.
