Frequently asked questions

How do I get the best prices on a London National rental car?

We try to get you the best rates, whether you reserve your vehicle. However, reserving well ahead of your trip can help you save even more. Be sure to keep the car under one driver's name and go over the mileage policy to avoid any surprise fees.

What do I need to bring when I pick up my car in London?

You'll need to bring credit card, as well as your driver's license.

What is the minimum age to rent a car in London?

National's minimum age to rent a car in London is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles, may have an additional fee if you are under 25. Make sure to review National's policy to know if there is an additional cost before you book.

What kind of National rental car should I get for my trip to London?

That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in London. Compact or economy cars are good for short commutes and are easier to park. If you are traveling with family or friends, then a sedan or SUV is going to have more room for everyone's belongings and offer a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a touch of extravagance on their London getaway can choose the premium category for a car like a Cadillac or Audi or similar.

Does Canada require car insurance?

In Canada you do need to have insurance before you rent. Many major credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover) generally provide some coverage. However, many of them have limitations, such as not covering bigger vehicles, like premium models or some SUVs. Make sure to call and find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you head to London. Additionally, as a United States citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my National car rental?

National requires a deposit when you book your rental car. National will block the deposit on your credit once you book your rental for your trip. Please note that the deposit may vary greatly depending on the model and make of the car.

Do I have to full up the tank before I take my car back to National?

At CarRentals.com, we suggest a full tank policy. You pick up your National rental with the needle at "F". If you return your rental with less than the amount it was given to you, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to triple the amount of current gas prices to refill it. For a cheaper rate, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring it back to National. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Do I need unlimited miles when I drive in London?

London certainly has its charms, but you may want to take to the road after you've checked off all the activities in London.

Does National offer one-way rentals in London?

National typically offers one-way rentals. You may find it more convenient to return your rental at another location. Don't forget there is typically an additional charge when you pick one-way.
