Compare cheap car hire prices - Gocompare

With the help of Our Holiday Centre^[1] you can find a great deal comparing car hire prices at thousands of destinations worldwide, looking at the factors which matter most to you, and with the ability to choose between airport and city pick-ups.

If you click the 'Get Prices' button above, our quick-and-easy form will ask you to input the driver's age, your chosen car pick-up point, pick-up date and time, and drop-off date and time.

Our best-buy table will then present the options with details of the company name and car type - including compact, intermediate, standard, full size, luxury, premium, mini and economy.

Either click through to the option you'd like to take a look at or scroll down, where you'll see a more detailed description of the package including a picture of the sort of vehicle you can expect, plus more information on the price, pick-up and drop-off points.

Did you know...?

• Some companies won't give an exact indication of the excesses you're liable for until you've made a payment and arrived at the hire station
• In North America it's illegal in some states to have opened containers of alcohol anywhere in your vehicle
• In Spain failure to carry a reflective hazard triangle will be met with an on-the-spot fine
• In France it's mandatory for all motorists to carry an unused breathalyser kit meeting French specifications

You can then choose to purchase online, where you'll see details of optional and locally paid extras.

There's also the opportunity to purchase over the telephone, something you may have to do if you're booking car hire at the last minute.

If you're struggling with the options, at every stage on the forms you'll see a phone number you can call for help, plus links to a 'contact us' page and to an FAQ section.

You can also try Gocompare.com's guide pages, where you'll find the answers to more frequently asked questions.

Our guides provide help with the different types of vehicles available and on additional requirements to consider such as child seats, air conditioning, additional drivers, driving across borders, and whether to choose a manual or automatic car.
