Every car we priced there can be cancelled free. Measured by Car Rental Brain across 8 searches, last updated 16 October 2026.
Roughly a coin flip — worth filtering for.
One fee per rental, not per person.
Pre-authorised on the main driver's card, and released after you return the car.
Almost everything here. Book early, keep checking, rebook if it drops.
What this means for your booking
- A month is not four times a week. The median week here is €305 and the median month €1291 — worse per day, which is why back-to-back rentals often beat one long booking on hires of 40 days or more.
- Airport or town desk? We have not measured which is cheaper yet, so we won't guess. We are measuring it now and will publish the numbers. See every pick-up point here.
Getting to the car
If you land late. 60% of the suppliers we priced shut by 22:00, and the typical desk closes at 22:00. A delayed flight is the difference between collecting your car and paying for a night you did not plan. Measured across 470 offers that publish their desk hours; a supplier that does not publish them is not counted as open.
Not every supplier here hands you the keys in the terminal. Across 8 searches, this is how collection splits:
Budget time for a shuttle. 51% of suppliers here are off-airport, which is usually why they are cheaper. It is a real cost in minutes at both ends, and worth weighing against the saving.
19 suppliers appeared here across our searches, at several separate pick-up points. See which is nearest you and what each costs.
The fine print, measured
These conditions vary more between airports than most people expect. We measure each of them everywhere we sweep: deposits · debit cards · second-driver fees · desk hours.
Collect full, return full. The cleanest policy — you only pay for what you use.
Effectively standard here, so a capped car is the one to look at twice.
Well short of universal — filter for it if you plan to drive out of the country.
More flexible than most markets, but still check before you travel.
What each supplier actually costs here
19 suppliers appeared in our searches. These are the ones you are most likely to be offered — chosen by how often they came up, then ordered by what they really cost, which is rarely the same order as the advertised price.
Prices are for a one-week hire. Mixing rental lengths would make the column meaningless — a fee charged once per rental is a very different share of a week than of a month — so this table is built from week-long searches only.

The cheapest advertised price is not the cheapest rental here. Record go advertises from €226 but charges €74 for a second driver, which puts it behind GoByCar at €277 all-in.
Deposits vary far more than prices. Thrifty holds €998 on the main driver's card against Record go's €100. It is released after you return the car, but it has to fit.
"With 2nd driver" is the advertised rental plus that supplier's additional-driver fee — our definition of the total, and the only one we rank on. Full cover is quoted separately and never added in: many travellers hold annual excess insurance or rely on a card, and folding in an assumed purchase is precisely the trick this site exists to expose. Medians across 8 searches; a supplier that does not publish a fee is not counted as free. How we measure this.

How these numbers were measured
We search this market on a schedule through DiscoverCars, at several rental lengths, and keep what came back. Each figure above is the median across 8 searches, not a single snapshot and not an estimate.
- Second-driver share — the percentage of priced offers whose supplier charges a fee for an additional driver. Offers that do not publish a fee are excluded from the share rather than counted as free.
- Typical fee — the median fee for the whole rental, not per day. One fee per rental, however many drivers.
- Deposit — the median amount the supplier pre-authorises on the main driver's card at the counter. It is released after you return the car.
- Cancel free — the share of offers that can be cancelled without charge.
Car hire is priced dynamically and these are typical values, not quotes. Availability and price are confirmed on DiscoverCars before you pay. We publish the aggregates; the underlying records stay ours.
