Question 1

How do I find the cheapest car rental?

Accepted Answer

Compare prices from multiple providers on TravelDealForge. Booking in advance (2-4 weeks), choosing economy vehicles, and picking up at city locations rather than airports typically saves 20-30%.

Question 2

Do I need additional insurance for a rental car?

Accepted Answer

Rental cars come with basic insurance (CDW), but it often has a high excess (£500-2,000). You can buy excess insurance from third-party providers for £3-5/day, much cheaper than the rental company's own cover (£15-25/day).

Question 3

Can I cancel my car rental for free?

Accepted Answer

Most providers on TravelDealForge offer free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup. This gives you flexibility to rebook if you find a better deal. Always check the specific cancellation policy.

Question 4

Which car rental provider is best?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your needs. We compare prices from Localrent, EconomyBookings, QEEQ, and GetRentACar. Each has strengths — Localrent for local providers, EconomyBookings for major chains, QEEQ for deals, GetRentACar for Europe.

Question 5

What documents do I need to rent a car?

Accepted Answer

You'll typically need a valid driving licence, credit card in the main driver's name, passport or ID, and the booking voucher. Some countries require an International Driving Permit (IDP). Check requirements for your destination.

Question 6

What car type is best for a road trip?

Accepted Answer

For comfort on long drives, choose a compact or mid-size car. For mountain roads, choose an SUV. For groups of 5+, choose a minivan. Economy cars are fine for city-based trips. Consider fuel efficiency for long distances.

Question 7

Should I choose prepaid or pay-at-desk fuel?

Accepted Answer

Prepaid fuel is convenient but you pay for a full tank even if you don't use it all. Full-to-full (return with the same fuel level) is usually the best value option. Avoid "pay local" options which charge premium prices.

Question 8

Is it cheaper to rent at the airport or in the city?

Accepted Answer

City locations are typically 10-20% cheaper than airport rentals, which include airport surcharges. However, airport pickups are more convenient. Calculate whether the taxi/transfer cost to a city location outweighs the savings.
