Plus, we offer a ‘price match guarantee’ – if you find the same small car hire at a lower price from another rental company, we’ll match or beat it. Getting a quote is simple; just use our fill out our online booking form or give us a call on 0345 222 1022.

Whether you have inquiries about our available makes and models or our competitive pricing, don’t hesitate to contact us today and our helpful team will be happy to help.

Is hiring a small car the future?

You don’t need to own a car to enjoy its benefits when you can simply borrow one. This concept, known as Mobility as a Service (MaaS), provides short-term access to vehicles without the commitment of ownership.

Our small car hire in Warrington and St Helens exemplifies this trend. You can easily book a car through our website, paying only when you need it.

Without the daily expenses associated with car ownership, you’ll save money and have more financial flexibility for unexpected costs.

Is hiring a small car better than owning your own vehicle?

Owning a car can be very costly, with expenses for cleaning, maintenance, MOTs, and insurance quickly adding up to an average of £3,400 a year – not including the initial purchase price.

Despite these high costs, a recent study found that the average UK car owner only uses their vehicle for about 9 hours a week. This means that for the remaining 159 hours, the car sits idle, depreciating in value.

Given this minimal usage, small car hire can be a smarter and more economical choice. By renting a car only when you need it, you avoid the significant expenses of ownership and make better use of your money.
