Renting a car for a golf holiday can provide you with the flexibility and convenience to explore various golf courses in the area. Unlike public transport, a rental car gives you your own space if you want to bring your own golf clubs or gear too.
Deliver your rental car to your golf resort / hotel
Did you know that when renting a car you don’t always have to pick-up the car from the airport or depot? With some providers, you can request to have the vehicle delivered to your accommodation for an extra fee.
Simply enter the location you’re staying at and look for pickup locations with a hotel delivery icon. The accommodation address will then be entered during the booking processed with the locally paid fee clearly stated in the cost breakdown. Remember that car rental delivery is subject to availability depending on the provider or destination.
Choosing the right rental car for your golf holiday
Opting for the first rental quote you see may not be the best option for your golf holiday. This is especially the case if you’re bringing your own golf clubs! You may want to consider how many golfers they’ll be in the car and how much luggage you’re taking. Filter our quote results to choose your suitable car based on:
- How many seats you require.
- How much luggage space the car can fit.
- The category of rental car.
For more information on rental car categories, read our blog on what car suits your needs. Remember to always diligently check the rental conditions before confirming your booking, make sure you’re aware of the security deposit, the type of insurance you have, and any locally payments that would need to be made upon arrival.
