Car Hire with Squirrel

Choose a pickup location that’s easy for you to access. Many rental firms have spots at airports for quick retrieval, while others might require shuttle transport.

Check if the rental agency offers additional items such as GPS units or child safety seats. These can enhance your trip but may incur additional costs, so plan accordingly.

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.

Some rentals impose mileage caps, while others offer unlimited mileage. Read the policies carefully to avoid unexpected fees at the end of your rental.

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

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

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.

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.
