Renting a Car from First in East London: Good to Know

How to Find the Best Deals from First in East London

Consider Car Upgrades

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.
Explore upgrade options for comfort

Understand Rental Insurance Options

When renting a car, it's crucial to understand the different insurance options available. Selecting the right insurance can protect your finances in case of an accident. Common options include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and liability insurance, so make sure to confirm the required coverage with the provider.
Choose the right rental insurance

Allow extra time for pickup

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in East London by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like First typically offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.
Plan ahead for your car hire pickup

Be prepared for card requirements at pickup

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like First in East London. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.
Search for debit card-friendly car hire

Check for Hidden Fees

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.
Be aware of potential extra charges

Inspect the Vehicle Before Driving Away

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.
Ensure vehicle condition is documented

Confirm Payment Methods

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.
Choose the right payment option

Check for Promotional Offers

Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.
Look for discounts and deals
