Where do I pick up my hire car?<\/h2>\n

When hiring a car, it\u2019s obviously important that you know where you\u2019re heading to collect your vehicle. If you\u2019re collecting from an airport, there are usually 3 different options for collection \u2013 in terminal, meet and greet or shuttle bus. This tells you where in the airport you will need to go to find the supplier\u2019s desk. <\/p>\n

In terminal car hire pick up<\/h2>\n

If your rental is in terminal, this means you will find the supplier\u2019s rental desk in the terminal at the airport \u2013 you won\u2019t need to leave the airport or get on a shuttle bus in order to collect your car. Most of the larger, multinational companies are usually in terminal; suppliers like AVIS<\/a>, Enterprise<\/a>, Goldcar <\/a>etc. who are in most airports. However, this isn\u2019t always the case depending on how many suppliers are at that airport, so make sure you check before you book. You may be drawn in by the cheaper prices of some suppliers who are off airport, but if you or someone you are travelling with struggles with mobility or you are with small children then you would probably benefit from a supplier who is in terminal – this will save you the hassle of heading through the airport and getting a transfer, as everything is right there when you land. <\/p>\n

Meet and greet car hire pick up<\/h2>\n

In some locations, certain suppliers will offer a meet and greet service. With this option, a representative from your chosen company will meet you in the terminal when you land and will then take you to the rental desk. They will usually have a board with the company logo or the driver\u2019s name so they\u2019re easy to find, and they will take you to the supplier\u2019s car park to hand over the vehicle. With these rentals it\u2019s especially important to provide your flight number when you book, so that the representative knows exactly when to meet you and which terminal you will be at. <\/p>\n

Off airport car hire pick up <\/h2>\n

For suppliers that are off airport, you will be required to take a shuttle bus to the rental desk to collect your vehicle – these are usually your budget suppliers who are not based in the terminal. The shuttle bus will be included in the rental price and means that when you land you will need to head to the airport\u2019s shuttle bus stand and take a quick ride to the supplier\u2019s desk just outside the airport. The frequency of the shuttle and the length of time it takes to get to the desk will depend on the supplier\u2019s location \u2013 in London Stansted<\/a> for example, all of larger suppliers have their rental desks in the car rental village just outside the airport, so the shuttle bus only takes a couple of minutes. Smaller suppliers such as Greenmotion <\/a>are based further away from the airport in Stansted, so their shuttle bus would take longer. If you\u2019re travelling with young children or have a traveller with limited mobility this may not be the best option for you, as there may be some waiting and it will take longer to get your rental car.<\/p>\n

The collection procedures are definitely worth bearing in mind when booking a rental car \u2013 be sure to take into consideration not just the cost, but the needs of your group and the level of convenience you require when you\u2019re collecting your vehicle. If you\u2019re in any doubt of what your requirements are, or if you have any questions about collecting your car, then get in touch with our car hire experts \u2013 they\u2019ll be on hand to book you a rental that ticks all of your boxes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
