When hiring a car in Cardiff, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Hertz. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

Before hiring a car in Cardiff, carefully review the rental conditions from suppliers like Hertz. Pay attention to details on payment card requirements, deposits, cross-border travel policies, and driving licence requirements to avoid any surprises.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Cardiff, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.
