Benefits of Car Hire

What is Car Hire Ideal For?
Most people think hiring a car is exclusively for holidays; holidays are an excellent time to make the most of car rental, but there are other benefits, too.
Hiring a car is ideal for those who live in cities, need a car for a one-off journey, but don’t want to purchase a car they will barely use.
If you need to transport a larger group of people to an event, car hire can give you the extra seats you need!

FAQs
We have a wide variety of cars in our fleet to choose from. Choose from our small, medium, large or executive car categories to find the perfect fit for your next journey. Let us know if you prefer to drive an automatic or a manual.
If you plan to drive exclusively in Reading, we recommend hiring a smaller car or one the same size as you usually drive. Reading can experience traffic, and multilane junctions will be easier to navigate if you are confident with the dimensions of your car. If you are journeying further afield, larger cars are usually more comfortable for motorway road trips.
You must be 25 years or older to drive all our vehicles except for our executive range of cars, which you must be 30 years or older to drive. If you are over 70, we may need further information from you and get permission from our insurance company to process your hire.
