The pros and cons."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>We believe car hire is always a great idea. If you need to simplify your holiday or if you just crave the freedom of the open road while you&#8217;re away, a hire car is your ideal solution. Saying that, car hire hasn&#8217;t always had the best reputation when less than reputable companies attempt to deceive customers. <strong>We wanted to be open about the pros and cons of car hire and why ultimately, we think it&#8217;s more often than not, the best choice for your holiday.<\/strong> We&#8217;ve covered some of the highlights of hiring a car and some of the common sticking points we hear about from our customers.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The pros of hiring a car<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h4><strong>Freedom \u2013 your holiday on your schedule<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Being on holiday, whether you\u2019re out for excitement or relaxation, should be yours to enjoy however you like. Hiring a car means you\u2019re free and able to drive where you like, on your own schedule. Having a car at your disposal also means you\u2019re able to pack in that holiday shopping with no hassle, no cramming into taxis.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Ease \u2013 no need to learn and understand the public transport<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Being in a foreign country can be difficult when it comes to language barriers, unknown streets and new public transport systems. Which train do you get? Is this the right bus? How do I pronounce where I want to go? All of these questions are answered with a hire car. With modern navigation apps too you can be sure you\u2019re on the right track. No need to understand a new public transport system, just jump in your hire car, set the map and go.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Flexibility \u2013 plans change and having your hire car means you can adapt to whatever takes your fancy<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Ever had to change your holiday plans at the last minute? It happens to everyone and whether it\u2019s for the better or not, it\u2019s always a great thing to be able to accommodate these changes. Hiring a car means you can run on your own schedule. Unlike if you were tied to a train timeline or a bus schedule, you\u2019re able to be a bit more flexible with your travel options. Have to make the journey a bit later or earlier? A hire car has you covered.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Luxury \u2013 enjoy driving a luxury car without the expense of actually owning it<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Owning, maintaining and running a luxury car in your day to day life can be super expensive. This is not the case when hiring a luxury car. Hiring a car means you only pay for the rental and the petrol. No expensive maintenance bills and all that. Enjoy a luxurious car to add that bit extra to your holiday for a tiny fraction of the price of actually owning one.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Cost \u2013 hiring a car can often be cheaper than bringing your own car<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Hiring a car cuts all the extra expenses that would come with bringing your own car. It saves you all the trouble of customs, inspections and all that fun. You simply arrive however you like, pick up your car and drive off into the sunset. The simplicity of it makes the whole thing easier and cheaper. No import costs, no extra insurance, it\u2019s all just easy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22221 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zestcarrental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/AdobeStock_99373724-compressed-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"long road view\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zestcarrental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/AdobeStock_99373724-compressed-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.zestcarrental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/AdobeStock_99373724-compressed-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zestcarrental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/AdobeStock_99373724-compressed-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zestcarrental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/AdobeStock_99373724-compressed.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The cons of hiring a car<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h4><strong>Car hire insurance can seem daunting \u2013 don\u2019t worry though we explain it all<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Hire car insurance isn\u2019t as complicated as it sounds or seems.

While we try our best to provide the absolutely best experience for all our customers, things can still go wrong.
