We have a new name,
and a fresh approach!

Honest. Recommended. Hassle-free.

Putting You First.

Founded as a family-run business in 2000 (previously known as Economy Car Hire), we have grown to become the largest independent car hire broker in the UK.

Our primary focus is, and has always been you, our customer.

A fresh honest approach.

You told us how we could improve our website and we listened. In 2016, we changed our name from Economy Car Hire to Zest Car Rental. Expect the same great team and fantastic service, with a little added Zest!

When booking a hire car, you will still benefit from, unlimited mileage, collision damage waiver with zero excess liability, handpicked car rental providers, a free additional driver (available at most locations) and unique deals you simply can't get elsewhere.

We provide a fresh, honest approach to car hire that lets you focus on the bigger picture.
