Breaking it Down

Beyond the headline price, here’s a quick checklist to compare the best offers at Hertz:

  • Until when can you cancel free of charge?

  • Is there a daily kilometre allowance, or is mileage unlimited?

  • What fuel policy applies?

  • How much is the security deposit, and is your card accepted?

  • What does Collision Damage Waiver cover, and what's the excess?

  • What happens if you return it late or outside opening hours?

  • Which protection products are included?

  • Are there any additional services or charges you need? 

And factor in these where relevant:

  • Is there an extra fee for an airport pick-up?

  • Do you want a second driver added to the agreement?

  • Are you under 25? Check the young-driver surcharge that applies below that age.

  • Are you planning to cross into a neighbouring country?

  • Do you want to drop the car at a different location? 

  • Do you need a child seat, or snow chains?
