Satisfied customer

I've used carrentals.co.uk before and always been happy. This time I needed a car in South Africa for 2 weeks. The company First Car was new to me but there were no queues, everybody was friendly and the whole experience of getting and returning the car was straightforward. Of course, the price was good as well.

carrental through bidvest in Durban

It was simple and straight forward and the staff at Bidvest were friendly and helpful.The only dissappointment was that we were given a suzuki swift instead of a ford Fiesta.

Car Rental is my go to search engine…

Car Rental is my go to search engine fir car rental, wherever I go. The results are clear, concise and provide a good choice of vehicles at different price points. My only criticism is that, from time to time, individual terms required y car rental companies are not accessible until after I choose a vehicle.

Read properly what you are getting!

This is a comparison site and will probably give you the best prices. I use then frequently. BUT check what you are getting for the money! Check with the car hire company directly.

Would recommend Car Rentals

Would recommend Car Rentals. In my experience, renting cars never goes smoothly (getting something different to what you paid for, being charged for unfair damage etc) and the car hire companies don't normally excel in customer service to say the least. Renting with Car Rentals rather than directly with the hire company worked very well as they had a very efficient customer service team. Our car was supplied by First car rentals and the category of car that we paid for was not available. We were given a car several categories below but no refund. When we returned from holiday a short call with Car rentals resulted in a significant refund.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is Carrentals.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

 What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

 Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

 What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

 How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

 When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
