Question 1

What is a one-way fee?

Accepted Answer

A one-way fee is applied when you return your hire car to a different location than where you originally picked it up. This fee helps cover the cost of relocating the vehicle back to its starting point. The amount of the one-way fee varies depending on the locations involved and the hire company's policies. Be sure to check the fee details when booking your hire to understand any additional charges that may apply.

Question 2

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 3

How much does car hire insurance cost at Waterloo Station?

Accepted Answer

The cost of car hire insurance at Waterloo Station varies based on the type of coverage you select and the provider you choose. Insurance options typically include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), Theft Protection, and Third-Party Liability, each with different price points. The amount of excess (the portion you must pay in the event of damage or theft) you choose will also impact the insurance cost. Some providers offer zero-excess insurance for greater peace of mind, but this option generally comes at a higher price. To find the best coverage for your needs and budget, it's advisable to compare different insurance options and rates available on various booking sites before finalizing your hire.
