Cheap Thrifty Car Rentals at London Heathrow Airport, LHR

To save on refueling costs when departing from Airport, look for deals with a 'full to full' tank fuel policy, or even better, a free tank fuel policy, as opposed to a 'half-full to full' one.

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.

Planning to rent a car with at Airport but are under 25? No worries! You can still rent a car. Just note that rental companies might have additional fees and restrictions for younger drivers. When you search for a car, simply deselect ‘Driver aged between 25 - 75’ and enter your actual age.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

Before finalizing your booking, check if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can provide peace of mind if your travel plans change unexpectedly.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

If returning your rental at the airport, be aware of the parking policies and any fees involved.
