Who is a daily rental for?
A daily rental is the most flexible option when you only need a car for a short spell. It suits:
- Business travellers fitting several meetings into one or two days
- Visitors landing at the airport who want a car for the transfer and a day trip
- Drivers whose own car is in the garage for a few days
- One-off plans such as a weekend getaway, a wedding or a family visit
If you expect to keep the car for a week or more, have a look at weekly car rental instead.
How booking works
All bookings, prices and payments are handled on betacarrental.com:
- Pick your pickup point and dates. Pickup and return times can be chosen in 30-minute steps. If you want to drop the car at a different listed point, use the return location option in the form; conditions are shown during booking.
- Choose your car. Each vehicle lists its own age, licence and deposit requirements.
- Confirm. Handover details are confirmed with you after booking.
Things to check on a short rental
- Leave yourself some slack. Flights run late and traffic in big cities is unpredictable, so avoid squeezing the return time.
- Driver requirements depend on the car. The minimum driver age ranges from 22 to 30 and the minimum time holding a licence from 2 to 5 years.
- A security deposit applies. The amount varies by vehicle and is shown when you book.
- Mileage, fuel and toll policies are displayed at booking. Read them before you collect the car.
Which car class fits a day rental?
For city driving and easy parking, economy cars are the practical choice. For a bit more space, consider midsize cars. For an important meeting or a special occasion, browse luxury cars.
