Car Hire with United

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.

Travelling with young children? United provides child safety seats for hire, ensuring a safe and secure journey for your family. This convenience means you don’t have to worry about bringing your own seats, making your travel experience smoother.

Before leaving, check the rental car's interior for cleanliness and any functional issues. Confirm that features like the radio and air conditioning are operational.

Before booking, read the rental agreement carefully for any hidden charges, such as airport fees, extra driver costs, or late return penalties. Awareness is key to budgeting.

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.

Most rental agencies prefer credit cards and may have restrictions on using debit cards for payment. Always verify the payment methods accepted by the company before booking.

Be sure you know if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in the event of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.

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.
