If you’re unsure about what type of vehicle is best for getting around Poole or areas beyond, you should consider that smaller compacts and economy cars are more fuel efficient and affordable than larger intermediate 4x4s and saloons. However, larger vehicles offer more storage and passenger capacity, which will matter if there are four or five people in your party.

Some Poole car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Poole.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Poole car hire.
