Pick Your Times, Then Stress-Test Them

Sketch the collection and return times before anything else. A traveller heading to a Saturday wedding might book a Friday afternoon pick-up, then realise the depot could be shut on Sunday evening. Move each time an hour either way and see which plan still works.

What Actually Happens at Each End

At pick-up, expect a walk-round, a look at the fuel and a quick run-through of the controls before you drive off. Returning works in reverse: someone checks the bodywork, notes the fuel level and takes the keys. Watching closely the first time makes the second feel routine.

Ask About the Trip and the Money in One Go

When you enquire, give the whole picture: where you're headed, roughly how many miles, and whether motorways feature heavily. Then ask what the total cost covers — mileage, fuel policy, anything extra. One conversation covering both saves a flurry of follow-up emails later.

Sort Out Who's Driving Before You Make Contact

Decide the driver line-up before you make contact. A couple sharing a long drive to a christening usually wants both names on the paperwork, so say so at the outset. Extra drivers carry a small daily fee, so budget for it early instead of meeting a surprise at the counter.
