Average Car Rental Prices in Gloucestershire

The picturesque county of Gloucestershire, nestled in the South West of England, is a prime location for tourists seeking the quaint charm of the Cotswolds or the rich history of cities such as Gloucester and Cheltenham. For those looking to explore the rolling hills and scenic villages at their own pace, renting a car is the ideal choice. On average, car rental prices in Gloucestershire can vary, with costs generally influenced by the type of vehicle, rental duration, and season.

Compact and economy cars are typically the most budget-friendly options, with average daily rates ranging from £25 to £45. For those requiring more space or luxury, SUVs and premium models may cost anywhere from £50 to over £100 per day. It's noteworthy that prices may spike during peak tourist seasons, such as summer and public holidays. Additionally, many rental agencies offer weekly rental deals, which can be significantly more economical than daily rates. When planning a trip, it's advisable to book in advance to secure the best possible rates and to ensure availability, especially during high-demand periods.

Frequently Asked Questions | FAQ's

1. What do I need to rent a car in Gloucestershire?

To rent a car in Gloucestershire, you typically need to be at least 21 years old (age may vary by car category and company), have a valid driver's license that's been held for at least one year, and a major credit card in your name. Some rental companies might also request proof of insurance, and an additional form of ID could be required.

2. Can I rent a car in Gloucestershire with a foreign driver's license?

Yes, many car rental companies in Gloucestershire allow you to rent a car with a foreign driver's license. However, if your license is not in English, you might need an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your original driver's license.

3. Are there any hidden fees I should be aware of when renting a car?

While the main costs will be detailed in your rental agreement, additional fees like young driver surcharges, additional driver fees, insurance waivers, mileage fees, one-way rental fees, or charges for extras, such as child seats or GPS systems, may apply. Always read the contract carefully and ask about any charges that are not clear.

4. What types of cars can I rent in Gloucestershire?

You can typically rent a range of vehicles, from small economy cars to large SUVs and vans. Luxury cars, sports cars, and specialty vehicles may also be available, depending on the rental company.

5. Is it possible to pick up a car in Gloucestershire and drop it off in a different city?

Yes, many car rental companies offer one-way rentals, but this service often comes with an additional fee. Ensure that you confirm the availability and cost of one-way rentals with your chosen provider.

6. What should I do if I have an accident or damage the rental car?

If you're involved in an accident or the car is damaged during your rental period, report it to the rental company immediately. It's also advisable to file a police report and notify your insurance company, regardless of the extent of the damage.

7. How can I get the best deal on car rental in Gloucestershire?

To get the best deal, book in advance, compare prices from various rental companies, and check for special offers and discounts. Also, consider renting for longer periods as daily rates generally decrease with the length of the rental period.

8. What is the policy on fuel usage for rental cars?

Most car rental companies offer a full-to-full policy, which means you receive the car with a full tank and you need to return it with a full tank. There are also options where you can prepay for fuel, but this may not be the most cost-effective if you don't use the entire tank.

9. Can I extend my car rental period once I have started my rental?

In most cases, you can extend your rental period, but you should contact the rental company as soon as possible to arrange for the extension and to find out any additional costs associated with it.

10. Are there any restrictions on where I can take the rental car?

Most companies have territorial restrictions within their rental agreements that limit where you may take the car. For instance, taking a rental car out of the country may not be permitted, or there might be restrictions on certain types of roads or areas. Check your rental agreement for these restrictions or ask the rental company directly.
