When renting a car, the price you pay is made up of a few important components, this article explains what they all are.
Rental
The rental price is set by the owner of the car, we give them guidance on what is a fair price for their location, car make and model, but it is up to the owner of the vehicle to set this price
Peak vs off-peak
Owners can opt in or out of setting peak pricing. It enables owners to charge less when times are quieter. Owners have full control over how much they charge on peak vs off peak days and you will only pay for the times you travel.
For example, if you book a car from midday Friday until midday Saturday, you will pay 12 hours off-peak and 12 hours peak.
Off-peak: Starts at 00:00 Monday and runs until 23:59 Friday.
Peak: Starts at 00:00 Friday until 23:59 Sunday.
Booking fee
Booking fees are what we charge to cover things like verification, the booking fee is based on the duration of the booking and is capped at a maximum of £40.
Policy Excess
Don't worry, the policy excess shown is not something you pay for your booking. This is the maximum you would have to pay out if you are involved in an accident when driving. You can find out more about policy excess & premium cover here
