Car Hire with First - Car Rental

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.

Note that certain rental companies have age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Always verify the age policy before booking.

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.

Research any toll roads along your travel path and understand their payment methods. Some rental firms provide toll transponders for added convenience.

Travelling with young children? First - Car Rental 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.

Ensure your rental agreement, identification, and insurance details are readily available throughout your rental period for easy access if needed.

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.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.
