Important information about York car hire

Can I leave the UK with a rental car from York?

Most car rental providers in York allow you to drive from York to any nearby country, but you will need to pay for the European Travel Coverage. The coverage will allow you to travel to any country, but you need to inform the car rental provider within a reasonable time or during the booking time. There will be additional charges for the coverage, and the York car rental provider could have a list of cities or countries that you can visit with the rented car. So, you need to provide all required information when booking through momondo for any of the preferred cars. Remember that if you are entering another country, all legal papers for your entry and an agreement with the car rental company showing that the car has been leased to you. Some companies place restrictions on some of their luxury cars, so if you have booked any luxury cars, inform the York car hire company of your decision to cross the border with the car.

Can you hire a car in York without a credit card?

A debit or a credit card can be used for your car hire in York, but there is a slight difference with different rental companies. Some cheap car rentals in York would prefer your credit card, but they manage to make allowances in circumstances where you don't have your credit card to complete your booking through momondo. A debit card can be used when this happens, even though the bearer's name doesn't correspond with the name on the driver’s licence. However, at the point of pickup, you should present your credit card with the corresponding name on the driver’s licence to provide deposits needed before renting the car. Some car hires in York allow cash payments if you visit the physical office for your booking and immediate pick-up. Ensure you read the terms and conditions under the payment section on the website, as it provides all the information you need to be aware of before making payment.

What driving laws should I keep an eye out for in York?

Driving your luxury car hire in York requires you to be aware of some driving laws to avoid flouting any one of them. You need to be mindful of the speed limits for the different roads that you would be using. For instance, a low-speed limit is required for built-up areas, while for motorways a speed limit of 70 mph is acceptable. Every defaulter pays the penalty so ensure you understand the required speed limits. All occupants of the car must wear seat belts, including children. There are exceptions where seat belts can be omitted, like for medical reasons or commuter drivers, but a medical exemption paper must be presented, and the commuter driver must be easily identified.

What documents does an international traveller need to hire a car in York?

York car rental providers do require some legal documents from you before a successful hire. The most common document is a valid driving licence. Depending on the car hire service you select through momondo, some car hires in York will require that you have held your licence for some years before applying for a car rental. If your licence is not based in the EU, an International Driving Permit will be required as well. Some go further to request your DVLA Code to check the number of penalty points or disqualifications and any other details needed from your licence. Your home address could easily be picked from your credit card or your licence, so that is covered. Most car rental providers commonly require these documents, and some penalty points are allowed. Just ensure you have applied and received your DLVA code some days before you book through momondo for your preferred car service.
