Hire a car with confidence

A few simple tips can help you feel confident about hiring a car. We work with more than 1,000 providers worldwide, so we know our stuff when it comes to car hire. Here's what's helpful to know when you compare car hire deals.

Driver age rules

Most drivers must be 21–25 to hire a car.

If you're wondering how old you have to be to rent a car, the exact car hire age limit depends on the provider and destination. Drivers under 25 might need to pay a young driver fee, and some larger or premium cars can have higher age restrictions.

Documents you need

Bring your driving licence and a credit card.

You'll need both at pick-up for the deposit. Most companies ask for a credit card, although some accept debit cards with conditions. In certain countries, you need an International Driving Permit (IDP), so it's worth checking before you travel.

Deposit and payment

A deposit is held on your card.

This isn't a charge, but an amount set aside while you have the car. You'll get it back after you return the vehicle with no damage, although it can take a few days to appear in your account.

Car hire insurance and excess

Insurance is included, but there's an excess.

Most car hire includes a collision damage waiver (CDW), which covers damage or theft. If something happens to the car, you need to pay a set amount known as the excess. You can add car hire excess insurance to cover that cost.

Fuel and mileage

Full-to-full is usually the best value.

You collect the car with a full tank and return it full, so you only pay for what you use. Some companies let you pay for fuel upfront or bring the car back empty, which can cost more. Rentals can include unlimited mileage, others limit the distance and charge for extra miles.

Optional extras

The price typically covers the car and one driver.

Child seats, additional drivers and sat navs are typically added separately and charged per day. Costs vary by location and can add up on longer hires. If you'll need any of these, check the total price before you book.

It's likely that car hire rates at the airport are a little more expensive than at a pick-up point in a city close by, and there's often an extra airport pick-up fee. But when you consider the cost of travelling from the airport to the pick-up location, and back again at the end of your stay, collecting your wheels as soon as you touch down might work out more economic (and easier)!
Yes, most car rental companies offer a flat rate for hire per day. You'll usually have to drop it back within 24 hours of picking it up to avoid any extra charges.
Of course! Simply set your dates to your desired period of time and hit search to find the best deals. And here's an insider tip – some car rental companies try to save costs and avoid short bookings by offering discounts or free days between two longer bookings.

You can hire an electric car from most major car hire providers. Use the filters when searching on Skyscanner to find electric vehicle options near you. Availability depends on location and demand, so book early to secure the car you want.
The best type of car to rent in Tokyo depends on your needs and budget. If you're looking to save money, choose a small compact car. And pick a larger vehicle like an SUV or people carrier if you need more space. If sustainability is a top priority, consider renting a hybrid or electric car.
