How Zest can help?

Here at Zest, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to find out whether you're able to hire a car or not with one of the suppliers that we work with. To ensure you get the service to require, we do the following:

Transparent charges

When searching for car hire on our website, if your age falls into a bracket where a young driver surcharge is applicable, you’ll see this displayed clearly as a 'Mandatory Local Charge'. We show this and all extra charges upfront so there are no nasty surprises when you collect the vehicle.

Insurance included

All bookings through Zest include Collision Damage and Theft Waiver (CDW) with either no insurance excess or Excess Reimbursement Insurance (ERI). Where ERI has been negotiated, we can only hire to those aged between 21-84 years of age as long as they meet all the other conditions in place from the car rental provider.

Clear requirements

During your search, always read the terms and conditions of hire to ensure you're able to meet the driving licence requirements. Some may require you to have held your licence for 1 year, some, 3 years. Just because you don't meet the requirements of one provider, doesn't mean none of them will offer you car rental.
