Car Hire with Flex

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy requires returning the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means returning at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

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

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

Travelling with young children? Flex 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.

Typically, car rental companies require a credit card deposit that is temporarily held. Make sure to ask about the specific deposit amount and how it's handled once you return the vehicle.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

If you have a particular vehicle model in mind, choose rentals that guarantee the car type. This prevents surprises at pickup when you receive a different vehicle.

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.
