Which is Europe’s most expensive country for care hire? It’s Portugal.
The Post Office’s annual Car Rental Report says it costs £553 to hire a car for a week in Faro, Portugal, including 40 litres (8.7 gallons) of unleaded petrol, an additional driver and satnav hire, against £248 for the same deal Copenhagen, Denmark.
Croatia was second most expensive destination (£547), followed by France (£447). Germany was the second cheapest (£264), followed by the Netherlands (£277).
The potential excess costs renters could incur in the case of an accident or theft varies across Europe, with those hiring in Switzerland looking at a £1,270 bill – a fee that could be prevented by paying £102 for additional insurance, which also covers tyre and windscreen cover. The figures are an average of the three #carhire companies in each country.
Andrew Brown from the Post Office said: ‘It’s a false economy to cut costs by sticking to the basic hire cost. We advise motorists to protect themselves against costs that could run into hundreds of pounds if the car suffers damage or is stolen. Don’t leave it until you get to the rental desk in your holiday destination, where you will be bombarded with questions and might sign on the dotted line without understanding what’s included and what’s not.’
