Question 1

Can someone else drive my hire car?

Accepted Answer

You must add all extra drivers to your rental contract, in order to make sure everyone is covered by the insurance policy. If another person drives the rental but is not down as an additional driver, you will void the rental agreement and the insurance company may refuse to cover any physical damage to the vehicle.

Question 2

Does Routes require refueling in London Heathrow Airport, London, United Kingdom?

Accepted Answer

The Routes fuel policy you select at London Heathrow Airport will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.

Question 3

What is a one-way fee?

Accepted Answer

A one-way fee is charged if you return your car rental to a different location from where you picked it up. This fee covers the cost of transporting the car back to its original location. The fee amount varies based on the specific locations involved.

Accepted Answer

Question 8

Is it better to hire a car at the airport?

Accepted Answer

Whether it's better to hire a car at the airport depends on your needs. Airport rentals offer convenience with immediate availability and a wider variety of cars, often with extended hours. However, they can be more expensive due to airport fees and higher demand, and they can be busy, leading to longer wait times. If convenience and variety are your priorities, airport rentals are a good choice. For cost savings, consider off-airport locations or city center rentals.
