10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Kent

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and desired features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for those sunny days, or a compact car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to benefit from lower rates and enhanced availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might be unavailable. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate with a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car topped up to avoid additional charges. This is often the most economical choice. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are also acceptable. Just remember to return the car with an empty tank in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience might justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Kent?
Within the past seven days, the lowest daily price for an affordable rental car in Kent was £35.
Can I hire a car from Seattle - Tacoma Intl. Airport (SEA)?
Not directly from Seattle - Tacoma Intl. Airport (SEA). But there is a great choice of hire car options close to the terminal. Find your ideal set of wheels with a bit of help from Alamo, Enterprise, Dollar, Budget or Firefly.
What happens if I need to cancel my Kent car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has details about this. In the majority of cases, full refunds are available if a prepaid booking is cancelled a minimum of six hours prior to the collection time. It's a good idea to read the car hire agreement to double-check if there are any exclusions.
What types of cars can I rent in Kent?
Bustling city streets and cramped parking spots are no sweat for an economy car — the most commonly booked rental type in Kent. Get behind the wheel of one of these and manoeuvre around traffic easily. Affordable, reliable and with excellent mileage, these small rides pack a punch. But Kent can be explored in almost any type of hire you like. Compacts, SUVs and full-size vehicles are other options to consider.
Where can I go on a road trip from Kent?
With your own set of wheels, discovering the surrounding regions is a cinch. Kent is a great place to start, but there's lots more to see in the region. Grab the keys to a rental, throw your luggage in the trunk and take a peek at these other inspiring spots:
  • You'll feel the pulse of a city bustling with life the moment you pull into Marysville. Some 45 miles from Kent, it's home to a number of wonderful spots to explore, such as Tulalip Resort and Casino.
  • Another destination popular with travellers is Vancouver, around 120 miles away. Vancouver Mall is just one of many reasons people love coming here.
  • After all that time behind the wheel, treat yourself to some time out in nature at Portland Japanese Garden. It's approximately 130 miles from Kent.
How do I find the best car hire deals in Kent with Expedia?
Pick up the best deal with Expedia. Just choose your ride, select your dates and preferred pick-up and drop-off locations, and browse offers from all the leading rental providers. Make even bigger savings when you combine your Kent car hire with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to hire a car in Kent?
You need to be at least 21. But there are several age-related restrictions to be aware of before you lock in your Kent wheels. If you're a young driver, many rental providers will charge an extra daily fee and limit the kinds of vehicles you can hire. The surcharge, and which age range it applies to, differs between companies. It's always a good idea to compare the requirements.
What do you need to hire a car in Kent?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Kent, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card. If you prefer not to take out the rental company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Rules can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental company.
What is the cheapest car hire in Kent?
Based on prices within the past seven days, you could've hopped behind the wheel of a hire car for just £35 per day. The second lowest daily price offered in Kent was £36. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Kent?
Visit our long-term car hire deals page, enter your trip details and then lock in a ride that suits. Whether you're staying put in Kent or venturing beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term hire at a fantastic rate.
Where can I find a Kent hire car if I am younger than 25?
Some Kent providers will hire cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll need to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Kent with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a hire car. Please read the regulations before you book!
