7 seater and mini-bus: It's easy to find larger vehicles with 7, 9 or even 12 seats by using a good comparison site. The 9 seater Renault Trafic is popular as is the Opel/Vauxhall Vivaro.

Economy: For a little bit of extra space whilst still keeping the price to a minimum, economy types cars include the following: Ford Fiesta, Opel/Vauxhall Corsa, and Peugeot 208.

Premium and luxury cars: If you're on business or more interested in pure comfort and luxury brands, the range of premium and luxury cars will appeal to you. You can compare BMWs, Mercedes and Audis like a BMW 3-series, 5 series, or X3 to Mercedes C-Class, E-Class and GLE or perhaps a Lexus. The one thing in common is you'll always find a great price.

Compact car: If you're looking for a bit more space than an economy car, whilst still keeping the price low, you're looking for a compact which includes a bit more boot space, more space in the back for the kids and examples such as a VW Golf, Opel/Vauxhall Astra, Ford Focus and Fiat Tipo.

Family/Full-size vehicle: The full-size, also sometimes known as family or intermediate category of cars is usually a larger saloon car or SUV type vehicle. Suitable for a family of 2 adults and 2 kids, or 2 sets of adults, with much more boot space, this category includes cars such as Ford Kuga and Nissan Qashqai.

Car Hire FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions about Car Hire

The price of a car depends on many different factors such as the location, the type of car, the time of year and how far in advance you can book. The overall average price in the last 12 month, across all destinations was £18.90 per day, whilst the cheapest was significantly less. Looking at Europe, you can find cars in Portugal and Spain from as little as £3 per day if you book a long time in advance looking ahead to the winter.

The price of a rental car has increased significantly since Covid-19 broke back in 2020, especially in certain holiday destinations like Portugal, Greece, Spain and Italy where you may have expected to find a small economical car in the summer of 2019 for somewhere between £3 and £10 per day. The average price of a car during the summer of 2021 has been at least double this, if not more. The reason is because of a global shortage of new cars since production was cut significantly during 2020 because of Covid.
On average you can expect to pay £26.59 based on the latest statistics.

Depending on the location and time of year, a family car will generally be between 50% to 100% more than a small mini or economy car.
