Why Compare Car Hire Prices?

Car rental prices vary dramatically between providers—sometimes by 50% or more for the exact same vehicle. Without comparing, you might pay significantly more than necessary. Our comparison tool searches 50+ rental companies simultaneously, showing you all available options sorted by price.

What We Compare

Our comparison goes beyond simple price matching:

  • Total price: Including taxes, fees, and mandatory charges
  • Insurance coverage: What's included vs. extra
  • Mileage policy: Limited vs. unlimited kilometers
  • Fuel policy: Full-to-full, prepaid, or same-to-same
  • Customer reviews: Real feedback from verified renters

Major vs. Local Providers

International brands like Hertz, Avis, and Europcar offer consistency and widespread locations. Local providers often have lower prices but may have limited English support or stricter policies. Our comparison shows both, letting you decide what matters most.

The True Cost of Car Hire

Understanding the full cost prevents surprises at the counter:

  • Base rental rate (daily/weekly)
  • Mandatory insurance and taxes
  • Airport/railway surcharges
  • Young/senior driver fees
  • Optional extras (GPS, child seats, WiFi)
  • Fuel and refueling charges
  • One-way and cross-border fees

Frequently Asked Questions

How do car hire comparison sites work?

We search prices from 50+ car rental companies including major brands and local providers. We show you all available options sorted by price, allowing you to compare features, reviews, and policies before booking.

Is it cheaper to book through a comparison site?

Yes, comparison sites often find better deals than booking directly. We have negotiated rates with rental companies and can find promotions you won't see elsewhere. Plus, you can easily compare to find the best value.

What's included in the price shown?

Our prices include basic insurance, theft protection, and local taxes. Additional costs like young driver fees, extra insurance, GPS, or child seats are shown separately so you know the total cost.

Can I cancel my car hire booking?

Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup. Prepaid bookings may have different terms. Check the cancellation policy displayed during booking.

Why do prices vary so much between companies?

Price differences reflect fleet quality, insurance coverage, mileage limits, and included extras. Budget brands may have older vehicles or stricter policies. Premium providers include more coverage. Compare total value, not just price.

Should I prepay or pay at pickup?

Prepay offers the lowest prices but is usually non-refundable. Pay-at-pickup costs 10-20% more but offers flexibility. If your plans are fixed, prepay saves money. Otherwise, the flexibility premium may be worth it.

What are the different fuel policies?

Full-to-Full: Return with a full tank as received—fairest option. Full-to-Empty: Prepay for a full tank, return empty—convenient but expensive. Same-to-Same: Return at same level—hard to judge. Always choose Full-to-Full when available.

Do comparison sites show all available cars?

We search major global and local providers, but some small local companies don't use aggregators. For most travellers, our comparison covers 95%+ of available options. Check our provider list for coverage in your destination.
