Renting a car for the day

One-day car rental offers a convenient and flexible option that can cater to various needs. Whether you find yourself in a situation where your own vehicle requires repairs or you’re simply eager to try out a certain model of car, renting a car for a day can provide the perfect solution.

In this guide, we’ll explain why you might need a one-day car rental, what the benefits are and what can affect the cost of your rental.

Why Would I Need to Rent a Car for a Day?

At Hertz, we understand that there are lots of good reasons why you might need to rent a car for a day.

Stay on the move during car repairs

Probably the most likely reason you’d have for renting a car for a day is because your own car needs repairs. There may be a sudden fault with your vehicle, or a nagging issue that needs fixing. Rather than not being able to drive, renting a car for the day means you can get on with life as normal.

Make a lasting impression

Daily car rental can be a great option if you need to impress someone. Let’s say you’re attending a wedding, have a job interview or even a date! First impressions count, and our collection of rentals is bound to feature the right car for making heads turn when you need it most.

Test a model of car

When it comes to cars, Hertz has something for everyone! You may be considering the move to electric so why not get behind the wheel of a hybrid vehicle, or try an all-electric Polestar 2 . Testing a hybrid/electric is a safe way of seeing whether the jump from a traditional car is worth doing now, without parting with too much money upfront.

You may also like the idea of test-driving a bigger car than you’re used to. Will you find it comfortable enough? Will you be fine with parking? Short-term car rental allows you to see how it fits into your lifestyle without making a major commitment.

Make a move more convenient

A 24-hour car rental can really do the job if you need to move house. You may need a large van to take your furniture to your next home because your normal car isn’t up to the task. Or you might not even own a car – you may just need one for the back and forth of moving day. Whatever the situation, Hertz has you covered for car rental.

What are the benefits of a daily car rental?

There are some great benefits to selecting daily car rental:

• Flexibility – you may need a car at short notice, or a scheduled time in which your car will be off the road for repairs or improvements.
• Suitable for quick tasks – you can even opt for hourly rental for a car or van if you’ve got a quick task that needs ticking off your checklist, such as needing a car for a business meeting.
• Choice – from hybrid hatchbacks to SUVs and sedans, there’s a car for you.

How much does it cost to rent a car for a day?

The cost of renting a car for a day depends on several factors.

• Location – where do you plan on picking up and dropping off?
• The age of the driver
• How far in advance did you book the rental?
• Seasonality
• Vehicle size
• Availability
• Make of vehicle
