Question 1

Should I purchase extra insurance when renting a National car at Birmingham Airport, Birmingham?

Accepted Answer

Every rental company requires valid insurance for financial security. Without it, National may refuse your rental.
Exceptions where insurance may not be necessary include: Existing coverage that applies to international rentals and matches your chosen car type/class. Additional insurance from your credit card provider that covers rentals abroad.
If you don't meet these criteria, purchasing some form of protection is essential. You can secure your deposit by purchasing Excess Fee Insurance during booking on our website, or opt for Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the National rental counter.

Question 2

What is a one-way fee?

Accepted Answer

A one-way fee is charged if you return your car rental to a different location from where you picked it up. This fee covers the cost of transporting the car back to its original location. The fee amount varies based on the specific locations involved.

Question 3

Does National require refueling in Birmingham Airport, Birmingham, United Kingdom?

Accepted Answer

The National fuel policy you select at Birmingham Airport will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.
