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 Cardiff airport, it makes sense for them to rent a Convertible Chevrolet Camaro from €69 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 Vivaro at a rate of €62 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, BUDGET is ready to offer a Business-class model - Audi A6. A budget transport option for a journey would be a Ford Focus car, compact but quite convenient, the rental of which would cost about €15 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.
