Car hire at London Luton Airport

You will have an option of two different rental plans. One is the full-to-full plan, which means you will collect your rental car with a full tank of petrol and will need to return it with a full tank of petrol. Alternatively, you might prefer the same-to-same option, which allows you to refuel the tank to the level it was on when you collected it. This means that if you received the car with half a tank of petrol, you need to refuel it to that level upon returning it.

This policy refers to a temporary amount held on the credit card that was accepted for your initial payment when booking your rental car for the stipulated time frame. This payment will be fully reimbursed if the car is returned, and certain conditions are upheld. The agencies will not accept missing fuel, a charge of fines, toll charges, or any additional charges stipulated by the respective car rental agency.

You will need to produce a credit or debit card that displays both your first name and surname as the cardholder details as well as a physical printout of your booking voucher, which you will have received via email from the agency you are making your booking with. A full driver's licence with at least two years remaining is a necessity and an additional photo ID is preferable for in-house documentation, but not a necessity, to drive your rental car off the lot.
