My husband and I are planning a trip to Wales, and we've been communicating with a few car rental companies. I want to make sure we get the best deal and avoid any hidden fees. Has anyone rented a car in Wales before? What should we look out for, and are there any specific companies you'd recommend? Any tips would be super helpful!
 
Renting a car in Wales can be a bit of a minefield, but it doesn't have to be! Make sure to read the fine print regarding fuel policies—some companies have a 'full to empty' policy, which can hit you with extra costs. I'd also recommend checking if they charge for additional drivers; those fees can add up fast. As for companies, I've heard mixed reviews, but Hertz and Enterprise are generally reliable. Just ensure you take photos of the car before and after rental to avoid disputes. Have you considered the scenic routes you want to take? They can be tricky but totally worth it!

Those are great points! In addition to what’s been shared, I’d suggest booking your car with a credit card that offers rental car insurance coverage. It can save you on extra insurance fees. Also, keep an eye on mileage limits, as some rentals may have restrictions. When planning your scenic routes, consider the A470 and the coastal roads—they're stunning! Are there any specific areas in Wales you're most excited to explore?
 
Those are fantastic tips! I’d also recommend checking the vehicle size to ensure it’s suitable for the narrow roads in rural Wales. A smaller car can make navigating those winding lanes much easier. Additionally, consider downloading offline maps or having a good navigation app handy, as some areas might have limited signal. What parts of Wales are you most looking forward to visiting? The scenery is truly breathtaking! 🌄

It's great that you're planning your trip carefully! When renting a car in Wales, it's also wise to check the fuel policy—some companies require you to return the car with a full tank, while others might charge you for refueling at a premium rate. Always read the fine print on insurance options too; sometimes, the coverage can be more comprehensive through your credit card. Have you looked into exploring Snowdonia or the Pembrokeshire coast? They’re both stunning and perfect for a scenic drive! 🚗💚
