KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Harrogate

  • Hire a car in Harrogate to experience the freedom to explore at your own pace without relying on public transport. Some amazing destinations are only accessible by car, such as the Yorkshire dales, the Lake District, and Whitby. Hiring a car will also give you the freedom to change your plans last minute without having to worry about public transport timetables.
  • You can often find the best deals for car hire in Harrogate by searching in advance and comparing offers on KAYAK. Alternatively, you can book at a kiosk when you arrive at Harrogate Airport, but fewer car choices will be available. In addition, during peak seasons, you may find it difficult to secure a car altogether if you book last minute. The staff at these kiosks is usually very knowledgeable about the local area and can offer you some great tips on where to go and what to see. The car hire companies at Harrogate Airport are Alamo, Easirent, Hertz, and Firefly. When using the kiosks, have your driving licence and credit card ready.
  • The type of car you hire in Harrogate will significantly impact the cost. If you are only planning on driving around Harrogate, then a small economy car will be fine and won’t cost you much. However, if you are planning on driving out to the Yorkshire Dales or the Lake District, you may need a larger SUV from a car hire company in Harrogate, especially if you're travelling in a group. It will also be more comfortable to drive a car that can handle the winding roads and hills. Hiring a larger car will cost more, but it will be worth it when you get to your destination.
  • One way to save money when hiring a car in Harrogate is to avoid the congestion charges. These charges apply to vehicles that drive into the city centre during peak times. Therefore, if you are planning on driving into the city centre, it is best to do so outside these times. The congestion charge hours are Monday to Friday from 7 am to 6 pm.

I really don't like having to guess fuel amounts when bringing cars back. I'd rather it was full and i bring it back full.

Excellent customer service, value for money and convenient location. The car was amazing but I found items from the previous renter including keys and there was no window fluid, and the windows were dirty. But my only frustration was no one answered the phone on the two occasions I needed information including extending the rental.

The gentleman was very pleasant. The car hadn't been cleaned properly or washed but we agreed it was ok. There was no parcel shelf in the car which was a bit of a concern when we had luggage etc.

Booked for 16:00, office closes at 16:00! Any delay and employees (still there) won't give you your car; Only option : come tomorrow, we open at eleven. Abandoned on parking with kids and luggage in the rain on a parking lot in the middle of nowhere. And they proposed we get a car from Enterprise Clubcar in the meantime. Registering procedure is manual, was handled the next Monday and declined because we do not live in the UK. Such a bad experience.

The place was little bit strange - like old scrapyard, only with nice new cars. The office was in a construction cell. But everything worked, was very easy and the staff was very nice. Good and quick communication with the staff. Only be carefull - when you book the car through the kayak US page, the price will be without the CDW (Collision Damage Waiver). You will have to pay it at the counter or have your own printed intrnational insurance covering rent car damage - so you won't have that nice price as you find on kayak, even you book en english car in the UK (which is strange and there is no warning about that).

When I tried to pick up they demanded that I take their collision damage insurance, even though I had waived that and said that I had it through American Express, AND wanted a £1500 deposit. I offered to purchase another online insurance policy and he said the company would not accept that. The fellow at the counter was very nice but he said it was the company policy and he had no control over it. He said it happened all the time and people were always shocked. I then asked what other renters would do and he said most people just paid it because they didn’t have another option. I refused and had him take me back to the airport. Then I went and rented a car elsewhere. More people need to walk away and not let this and other companies like this run this kind of SCAM. Kayak needs to drop them from their search.

Car hire insurance in Harrogate

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver

Some Harrogate 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 Harrogate.

Deductible

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 Harrogate car hire.
