Car Hire with Hawk

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.

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.

Be sure you know if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in the event of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.

Travelling with young children? Hawk 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.

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.

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.

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 you drive off, inspect the rental car for any existing damage and ensure it's noted. Taking pictures can help avoid disputes upon return.
