FAQs about hiring a car at London Luton Airport
London Luton Airport car hire agents offer different fuel plans, which one is best suited for me?
You will have an option of two different rental plans. One is the full-to-full plan, which means you will collect your rental car with a full tank of petrol and will need to return it with a full tank of petrol. Alternatively, you might prefer the same-to-same option, which allows you to refuel the tank to the level it was on when you collected it. This means that if you received the car with half a tank of petrol, you need to refuel it to that level upon returning it.
What is a refundable security deposit?
This policy refers to a temporary amount held on the credit card that was accepted for your initial payment when booking your rental car for the stipulated time frame. This payment will be fully reimbursed if the car is returned, and certain conditions are upheld. The agencies will not accept missing fuel, a charge of fines, toll charges, or any additional charges stipulated by the respective car rental agency.
What documentation do you need to rent a car at London Airport?
You will need to produce a credit or debit card that displays both your first name and surname as the cardholder details as well as a physical printout of your booking voucher, which you will have received via email from the agency you are making your booking with. A full driver's licence with at least two years remaining is a necessity and an additional photo ID is preferable for in-house documentation, but not a necessity, to drive your rental car off the lot.

In the past 72 hours, the cheapest car hires were found at GREEN MOTION (R598/day), keddy by Europcar (R1 112/day) and DRIVALIA (R1 450/day).

Pros:
the staff at the Luton Airport office were friendly and helpful.Cons:
The car which I was supposed to rent was not available and I was provided with options which I was told were upgrades. However, the car that was provided me was definitely a downgrade from the car I was supposed to rent. It was the cheapest, most underpowered Skoda I have ever had the displeasure of driving, compared to the Peugeot 308 I was supposed to rent. It was fine for a day, but will not be renting from SixT again this bait and switch.2,0 Poor

Pros:
They offered a great dealCons:
They failed to deliver the deal - closed at my scheduled pick up time - no apology - and now they dispute my claim for a refund as they say they cannot refund after the scheduled pick up time - probably the worst ever rental car experience you can ever have10,0 Wonderful

Pros:
Upgraded to a bigger car (no small ones available) which turned out to be a dream to drive. Gave me their local telephone number so I wouldn't have to pay premium rate as I knew I would probably have to extend hire. I did extend but there was no hassle abot that - just paid an extra day's hire at the rate I'd originally booked. No delay at check in or check out. Was I just lucky with my timing?Alamo

Pros:
Easy drop offCons:
Double charged for alternate location drop off. Over charged for car seat. Didn’t have my car type, “upgrades” to a car from an SUV that I couldn’t fit my family in. Downgraded to a mini van to fit family but didn’t change price.4,8 Mediocre

Apr 2019
Pros:
Nothing. Even though staff were reasonably polite. I was charged an additional 98 pounds because I rented through a US website. In addition, they did not accept the third party insurance I had bought so I had to "block" 1,500 pounds on my credit card - which will take up to 28 days to releaseCons:
Upfront information that I would have these additional expenses. Car was not ready on time and it was not clean (smelt of cigarettes)2,4 Poor

I was charged additional £140 on the airport saying that I need to have extra insurance or pay full ammount of 25k which is the car cost. If I new that when booking on kayaks website I wouldn’t even bother with that company. Won’t use them again!!!!2,0 Poor
Feb 2020
Pros:
No helpfulness at all. Didn’t take American Express which was the only credit card I had. Staff could care less and I did not know when I rented it. Couldn’t even rent the car and still paid for the rental.Cons:
Staff could have at least worked with me and acted like they cared. Staff couldn’t have cared less as it was “my problem” to figure out how to put a deposit on a rental like that.5,6 Fair
Mar 2017
Pros:
The car was new and the original cost was low.Cons:
While the heathrow branch is a different experience, renting in Luton is quite a headache, to say the least. For first time visitors, it is extremely difficult to find. Then, there are far too few people working, doing b oth the rental agreements and payment, and giving out/recieving cars. The worst though is the apparent directive they have been told to create extra income almost by any means necessary. This means they overcharge for everything they can (my plane was delayed, had to pay extra for arriving late. Others couldnt find the place, also had a late fee. Charged more for taking a debit card, etc.). Possibly the worst is the "damage" control on the car, where they quickly lead first time renters to look past small scratches in the car when taking them out and then amazingly find them upon return and demand exorbitant fees (150 GBP for scratches on a hubcap?). You can prepare yourself and take pictures of the car while still in the lot before you take it, but be prepared to joust with the fees they try to tack on both at the beginning and upon return.keddy by Europcar
