Look over your confirmation for the finer details or go to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Southampton?
Dash around in a nifty mini, splash out on a premium ride or go for something in between, like an intermediate. But it's hard to go past a compact car --- the top choice in Southampton. They're a joy to park and handle, fuel-efficient and an excellent idea if you're driving around cities. A step up from economy, you can expect a little more room and comfort while still getting a terrific deal.
