Offers are fetched for the exact locations, local times and driver age you enter. Results arrive in stages, and the page says while providers are still being checked.
Mileage, cancellation, fuel and pick-up details appear on a card only when that live offer actually carries them — never as a default we filled in.
Choosing a deal re-fetches it first. If the price moved, you see the new total and decide before continuing to the booking site.
Car hire questions
How much does it cost to hire a car?
It depends on the location, your local dates and times, the driver age and what is available the moment you search. The estimates higher up this page are cached averages from recent searches and are useful for budgeting; only a live search returns prices you can actually book.
Can I pick the car up and drop it off in different places?
Often, but not always: one-way hire depends on the supplier, and some offers add a one-way surcharge. Choose a separate drop-off point before searching and the live results will show which current offers cover that journey.
Why does the search ask for the driver age?
The main driver age is part of the request and changes which offers come back — drivers under 25 often meet a young-driver surcharge. Supported range is 21 to 99. Check the booking site’s full driver requirements before paying.
What do the mileage and cancellation filters actually filter on?
Only on terms present in the live offer, such as free cancellation or unlimited mileage. An offer that simply did not send that detail is not treated as if it had it — confirm the final policy on the booking site before you commit.
