Car Hire with Drifter

Take time to get acquainted with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Understanding essential functions like lights, wipers, and navigation can enhance your safety.

If you need a vehicle for an extended period, Drifter offers discounts for long-term hires. This means you can save significantly on your car hire while enjoying the flexibility to explore your destination at your own pace.

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.

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.

Before finalizing your booking, see if the rental agency offers free cancellation. This can be invaluable if your travel plans unexpectedly change.

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.

Some rental agreements come with mileage limits, while others offer unlimited mileage. Make sure to review the mileage policy to avoid unexpected fees.
