Economy cars are typically the cheapest. Automatics usually cost more, and how many cars are automatic differs a lot between destinations, so filter for automatic if you need one.
Local companies often keep payment simple, and each car shows its deposit before you book.
Each car shows its total, its deposit, its cover levels and any one-way or cross-border fee before you book.
You pay an advance of 15 to 20% when you book and the rest to the rental company when you collect the car.
You rent from a local company at the airport or in town. Its name and phone number are on your booking voucher.
SabreCar compares cars from local car rental companies at airports and in towns. Side by side, you see the full price, the deposit, the insurance options and each company’s rules on the car before you book.
When you book, the local company sends you a voucher with its name and phone number, and it is the company you meet at pickup and deal with about the car.
If a company cannot provide the car you booked because of a breakdown or another reason outside its control, it must give you a car of the same or a higher class, on the same terms and at the same price.
Every car on SabreCar comes from a local rental company. That changes how renting works:
Many cars need no deposit, and many take a debit card or cash instead of a credit card.
On many cars you can choose delivery to your hotel or another address in town instead of collecting at the airport.
At the airport the company meets you as shown on your voucher. How and where varies by company, so read the voucher before you travel.
Look the car over with the company at pickup and at return, and note any marks, so nothing is disputed later.
If your flight is late or plans change, ring the number on your voucher.
Search with your real arrival time. Some cars cannot be collected at night; any late or early handover fee shows before you pay.
Some cars do, and each car shows its deposit, or none, before you book.
A no-deposit car means nothing is held on your card or paid in cash as a security deposit when you collect it. You still pay the rental itself and any extras you chose.
How to find them: tick “No deposit” in the search filters. Each car also shows its deposit amount (or none) before you book.
Another way to zero: on many cars the top insurance level, Full Coverage Plus, removes the deposit. It is not offered on every car, so check the car’s insurance options.
Still bring: your licence and the payment card or cash the car asks for, because the rest of the rental is paid at pickup.
How many cars need no deposit differs a lot from one country to the next, and from week to week. Each destination page shows typical prices, and the search shows the cars for your dates.
It depends on the car: many local companies take a debit card or cash, and each car shows whether it needs a credit card before you book.
In some countries almost no car asks for a credit card; in others many do. Each car shows whether it needs one before you book.
Pay the advance online by card when you book. Pay the rest at pickup by the methods the car lists; some take cash or a debit card.
It must be a physical card with raised numbers, in the main driver’s name, brought to pickup. Some companies take a debit card instead.
It depends on the level you pick: each car lists up to four, from damage to other vehicles only up to full damage cover. Its price, its deposit and which levels it offers show on the car before you book.
Your driving licence, any permit your destination asks for, and the payment card or cash the car lists.
Your national licence, valid until the end of the rental. Copies and digital licences are not accepted. In many destinations the details must also be in Latin letters.
Required by the rental terms in some destinations and recommended in others. Each country’s rental terms say what applies to your licence.
The card or cash the car asks for at pickup, and a credit card in the main driver’s name if the car requires one.
Emailed after booking, it names the company and its phone, the meeting point, and any credit card rule. Keep it for pickup and cancelling.
Keep your number reachable from the day before pickup until return, by call, WhatsApp or Viber. If the company cannot reach you, you cannot complain.
Each car shows its own minimum age and years of driving. Some cars can be hired from 18; others need 21 or more and up to three years’ experience.
Your airport or town and your dates.
Compare price, deposit and payment rules, then add insurance, a cross-border package or extras.
15 to 20% of the rental, online.
Pay the rest to the company and check the car together.
Across a border: in some destinations you can drive abroad and back with a cross-border package added when you book; the car always comes back to the country you hired it in.
In some destinations many cars offer a cross-border package; in others the rental terms do not allow a car to leave the country at all. Each car shows its own package and fee, and each destination page explains the rules there. Tell the company before you cross.
Collect in one town and return in another in the same country. Any drop-off charge is already in the price shown and differs by car and route; each destination page shows the one-way options.
The car must come back to the country where you hired it, so you cannot drop it off in another one. A cross-border package only lets you drive abroad and back where permitted.
Prices follow the season: they are lowest in the quiet months and highest in summer. Each destination page has a month-by-month price table for its main airport.
Far fewer cars show for June to August than for the quieter months when you search a long way ahead, so check again nearer your trip.
The company meets you as your voucher says. Some cars cannot be collected at night; any out-of-hours fee shows before you pay.
Choose delivery to your hotel or address where the car offers it.
Show your licence and payment, pay the rest of the rental, and walk round the car with the company.
Return it with the same level you collected it with.
Check the car together again. The deposit, if there was one, is returned under the company’s terms.
Often not. Many cars from local companies need no credit card, and each car shows whether it does before you book. How many differs by destination.
Yes. Tick “No deposit” in the search, or choose Full Coverage Plus where a car offers it.
It depends on the car: some can be hired from 18, others need 21 or more and up to three years of driving. Each car shows its own limits.
In some destinations, yes, with a cross-border package added when you book. In others the rental terms do not allow it. The car must always come back to the country you hired it in.
Within the same country, yes, with a drop-off fee shown in the price. Not in another country.
Filter for 7 seats or more. The largest hire cars on offer have nine seats, so a group of ten or more needs two cars. Check the boot size of the model against your luggage.
An advance of 15 to 20% when you book. The rest is paid to the company when you collect the car.
Each car comes with basic cover and offers higher levels at a price. Standard cover does not include damage to the wheels, underbody, windscreen or interior; the car shows what each level covers.
Email the cancellation request with your booking voucher. The applicable notice deadline depends on the vehicle category and any shorter-notice option included in your reservation; the cancellation section explains those deadlines and the processing deduction.
The rental company, on the phone number in your voucher. For anything about this website, email info@sabrecar.com.
