Pin Down Dates and Times Before Anything Else

Start with the exact pick-up and return times, not just the days. A 10 a.m. Saturday collection for a christening, returned Monday evening, tells the firm far more than 'a weekend'. Bank holiday cars go quickly, so ask early if your dates are fixed.

Let an Honest Load Count Pick the Car

Count everything honestly before you choose: two suitcases, a pushchair and a set of golf clubs rules out a small hatchback. Thinking of four adults plus luggage? Say so. A true tally of people and bags points you to a car that fits without cramming.

Settle the Driver List at the Kitchen Table

Decide at home who will actually take the wheel. If your partner wants to share the drive to a wedding, both of you must be added when you book rather than on the day. Extra drivers usually carry a small daily fee, so budget for it from the start.

Get Costs and Cover Answered in Writing

Put every question in your first email: what the price includes, how the excess works, fuel rules, mileage limits and what happens if you return the car late. Getting answers in writing removes guesswork later, and it makes the handover itself a ten-minute formality rather than a negotiation.
