<\/a><\/p>\nOn Airport<\/h2>\n
Desk and vehicle at airport \u2013 Suppliers offering this collection procedure maintain a physical presence within the airport terminal. Their desk will be clearly branded with their logo. Report to them upon arrival and fill out your paperwork. In some cases, they will escort you to the airport car park where your vehicle will be located. Together you\u2019ll check over the vehicle for any pre-existing damage to be marked on your rental agreement, and you\u2019ll get a chance to ask any necessary questions before driving off. Should the rep not survey your vehicle with you, do still carry out the survey and ask them to make a note of pre-existing damage before you drive away. Take photos too for evidence.<\/p>\n
Meet and greet, vehicle at airport \u2013 The supplier doesn\u2019t maintain a physical presence at the airport and instead will have a representative waiting to meet you in the arrivals hall. They will usually be wearing a uniform, or a badge to identify them as the supplier\u2019s representative. Some may carry an identifying board. The representative will greet you and show you to the vehicle in the airport car park. They\u2019ll complete the paperwork and vehicle survey before you drive off.<\/p>\n
Off Airport<\/h2>\n
Meet and greet, shuttle bus \u2013 As above, a representative of the supplier will meet you at the airport. You must then get on a shuttle bus from outside the airport terminal which will take you to the supplier\u2019s nearby depot. You will complete the paperwork and collect the car there.<\/p>\n
Shuttle bus \u2013 Your rental voucher will detail instructions on where to head upon arrival at the airport. You\u2019ll have to locate the correct bus stop outside and travel to the supplier\u2019s depot.<\/p>\n
Office<\/h2>\n
If you\u2019re not collecting your hire car from a flight and instead collecting from a town or city location, some suppliers have the option to collect directly from their office. All the paperwork will be completed there and the survey of the vehicle carried out at the depot.<\/p>\n
Delivery<\/h2>\n
Some suppliers will be able to deliver your vehicle to your accommodation if it\u2019s within a set radius of their depot. There may be an additional charge for this service with some suppliers; some may offer it free of charge.<\/p>\n
Where there are charges for delivery, these will be displayed next to \u2018Mandatory local charges\u2019 which has an (i) icon displayed next to it that you can click on or hover over for further explanation.
