Car rental in Royston: FAQ

Where do I pick up my rental car in Royston?

It depends on the rental company, and the pick-up type is shown for each company on this page. Your booking confirmation always includes the exact pick-up address and instructions.

Can I pick up a car in Royston and return it somewhere else?

Yes, one-way rentals are possible with many companies, but they usually charge a one-way fee, which is higher for longer distances or for drop-offs in another country. Enter a different drop-off location in the search form to see one-way prices with the fee included.

What is the minimum age to rent a car in Royston?

The minimum age to rent a car in Royston is usually 21, although some companies accept drivers from 18 and others require 23 or 25 for larger or premium cars. Drivers under 25 usually pay a daily young driver fee, and some companies limit younger drivers to smaller car classes. You also need to have held your driving license for at least one year.

Can I rent a car in Royston with a debit card?

Rental companies in Royston typically accept major credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard and American Express. The card must be in the main driver's name and have enough funds for the security deposit. Debit and prepaid cards are accepted only by some companies, sometimes with a higher deposit or extra checks. The accepted cards are listed for each company on this page.

What fuel policy do rental companies use in Royston?

The fuel policy is shown for each company on this page. The most common ones in Royston are:

Full to full: you get the car with a full tank and return it full. This is usually the cheapest option because you only pay for the fuel you use at pump prices. Refuel near the drop-off point, or the company will charge for the missing fuel plus a service fee.
Same to same: you return the car with the same fuel level as at pick-up.
