Choose your airport before comparing cars
An airport name and a nearby town are not always the same pickup option. Select your arrival airport in the search, enter the planned collection time and check the handover details of the car. For a different return airport, set the return location before comparing totals. A listed destination is a place to search, not proof of current stock.
Terminal desk, meeting point or shuttle?
Airport car hire can involve different collection arrangements. A terminal desk requires you to find the named company’s desk. A meeting-point booking requires the location and contact instructions on your voucher. An off-airport office can involve a shuttle or another transfer arrangement. Compare the practical handover as well as the rental price; do not assume every airport offer has a terminal desk.
Late flights and realistic collection times
Enter the flight details where requested and follow the supplier’s flight-delay procedure. Check collection hours, any out-of-hours charge and the contact to use if plans change. Allow time for leaving the aircraft, border checks where applicable and collecting luggage. Airport opening hours do not establish the rental supplier’s operating hours.
Payments and protection at airport pickup
Before payment, check the online advance, the remaining balance, the security deposit and their accepted payment methods. If you need no deposit, no credit card or a €0 excess, verify each condition in the same selected offer. Keep the relevant terms with the confirmation, then check the rental contract at pickup.
Return location and timing
Follow the car supplier’s return address and procedure, which may differ from the passenger drop-off area. Confirm whether staff inspect the car or a key drop is used, and check the fuel policy and any return restrictions. Plan enough time for the handover, a transfer if needed and your airline’s check-in requirements.
