Top tips for hiring a car in West Yorkshire

  • There are a lot of petrol stations located within West Yorkshire, and drivers will find that the majority are located around the city centre of Leeds. A driver should make sure they follow any requests that a provider might have on the return of the hire vehicle. It is a common requirement that the amount of fuel that was in the vehicle at the time of pick up is to be matched on the return of your car. Otherwise, a driver should expect to face a fee for the difference.
  • Completing a car hire booking is subjective to the driver bringing the appropriate documents with them. A driver will always have to show proof that they hold a full and valid driving licence. Although the validity is subject to specific providers, a usual request is that the licence has been held for at least one year. You will most likely also have to show proof of legitimate identification, and a valid example is a passport. In addition, a provider might request that drivers planning to hire a car must bring two proof of address examples.
  • Drivers will have no problem finding branches for car hire around West Yorkshire. The most popular places that hold a large number of branches include Huddersfield, Yeadon, Hunslet, Beeston, Wortley and around the Leeds city centre itself. Make sure to choose an appropriate and easily accessible branch to pick up your car hire from; you will commonly need to return your hired vehicle to the branch from which you originally picked it up.
  • Book your car hire in West Yorkshire at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy hire cars in West Yorkshire are around 23% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What is driving like in West Yorkshire?

    Driving in West Yorkshire is suitable for most kinds of drivers, no matter if they are new to the driving scene or experienced with hiring cars. Whilst all roads usually have good drivability and are fairly open and easy to navigate, drivers should avoid driving within the city centre, as this is where roads are more congested and roads are less catered to high volumes of cars. The speed limits in urban areas are generally 30 mph, but speed can increase up to 70 mph when you’re travelling on motorways and dual carriageways. West Yorkshire is no stranger to rain, and when drivers are driving in these conditions, they should make sure to leave an appropriate amount of stopping distance of four seconds.

  • How old do you have to be to hire a car in West Yorkshire?

    West Yorkshire bears the same age requirements for hiring cars as the rest of the UK. You’ll commonly find that car hire providers will not serve those under the age of 21; although, if car hire is available to those aged 21 and over, you may find that specific vehicle reservations, like van hire and luxury car hire, will not be available to this age group. West Yorkshire car hires will usually aim to serve those of at least 23 years old; however, anyone under the age of 25 should expect to face an additional sub charge on their booking, also known as a young driver’s handling fee. Requirements are subjective to specific providers.
