Comfort and convenience at the best price
We understand the importance of choosing the right pick-up location. With that said, Bookingauto strives to provide customers with the opportunity to collect a car from all desired locations in United Kingdom, including the city centre, main railway stations, and the nearest airports. Thanks to such a large selection of rental points, our clients can book a car in United Kingdom and pick it up at a convenient place for them.
What we can offer:
By contacting Bookingauto.com, customers can be sure that there is the right type of car waiting for them. For example, if one person or a small group of guests arrives in United Kingdom, it makes sense for them to rent a Convertible Mini Couper Cabrio from €90 per day. This presentable and comfortable car is offered for rent by EUROPCAR. When it comes to a family or a large company, the best choice may be a Minivan Opel Zafira at a rate of €66 per day. Your trip will be pleasant and safe in this roomy car. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, SIXT is ready to offer a Business-class model - BMW 5 series. A budget transport option for a journey would be a VW Polo car, compact but quite convenient, the rental of which would cost about €17 per day.
Select the exact date and time for picking up and returning the car:
If you want to save money, choose the same pick-up and return time. Car rental companies charge for a full day of rent, so if you rent a car for 25 hours, you pay for 48 hours (two full days), and 73 hours would be equivalent to four full days of rent.

The most popular cities and rental locations in United Kingdom
The rental points are grouped into three main locations: city, airports, and railway stations. Therefore, it won’t be difficult for you to find an option that suits you. Important note: the number of cars offered and the rental price in different rental locations in United Kingdom may differ. That is, car rental at the airport can be more expensive compared to the city centre. However, there is generally a larger choice of models at the airport. To pick the best option, you should study all of the offers, compare prices, and then make a decision.
Estimated daily prices by car class
The highest demand for car rental in United Kingdom occurs during the high tourist season - summer.
On average, the cost increases by 20-30% and the choice of available cars is also significantly reduced if you don’t book in advance.
For example, in July, the average price for the popular model Seat Toledo in United Kingdom is €48 per day.
In autumn, the same car costs about €11 per day.
Highest summer price for convertibles. For example, a Mini Couper Cabrio is offered at €90 per day.
Among budget models, the most demanded in United Kingdom is the VW Polo. The EUROPCAR company rents it out for €17 per day.
Business class car rental in high season is also more expensive. For example, renting a BMW 5 series costs about €49 per day.
The excitement noticeably subsides in autumn and rental companies begin to reduce their rates. For example, you can rent a BMW X3 very cheaply in the autumn for just €42 per day.
Fans of exclusive car models also find it easier to fulfill their requests in the autumn months. For example, in United Kingdom, you can easily rent a Audi R8 to travel in style through the streets of the beautiful city. Rest assured that the memories of these drives will linger in your imagination for a long time.
Cancellation and change conditions
On our website, you can cancel or change your booking in United Kingdom under certain terms.
The booking can be cancelled with a full refund at least 24 hours in advance (in some cases, 48 hours may be needed).
If cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice (or 48 hours in some cases), the administration fee will be deducted from the online payment amount but the rest of the money will be returned to your bank account.
Each vendor has a different cancellation policy and administration fee for different cars. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read the cancellation policy before booking.
Note: you can only cancel or modify your order before the pick-up time!
These additional rules apply to all bookings:
If the online payment sum is less than the stated administration fee, there will be no refunds when cancelling your booking once the administration fee is applied.
If your booking is made less than 24 hours prior to the pick-up time (or 48 hours in some cases), a cancellation policy will be automatically applied to your booking.
Important information: To cancel a booking, please go to the “Manage My Booking” section – do not contact the rent-a-car company directly.
Insurance coverage cancellation:
If the car was booked with an additional insurance product, the policy will be automatically ended upon cancellation. The issue of reimbursement is resolved within the framework of the cancellation policy provided for by the terms of the insurance product.
When does the “No-show” rule apply?
The following situations constitute a "No-show":
● The customer didn’t inform of the cancellation before the pick-up time.
● The customer failed to pick up a car in United Kingdom at the arranged time and date.
● The customer failed to provide the documentation required to pick up the car.
● The customer failed to provide a credit card in the main driver’s name with enough available funds on it.
In the event of any of the above, no refunds can be made.
The car hire company reserves the right to refuse a car to any customer who fails to provide all of the necessary documentation and a credit card with enough available funds for the car's security deposit. In such cases, the customer will not be entitled to a refund.

Different countries, companies and even rental locations may have different age limits and fees. Therefore, we urge you to read the full terms and conditions of the rental service and the information specified in the voucher.
