Passenger, luggage and journey details
Plan car hire in Chattenden
Working out which automatic suits your journey becomes clearer once passengers, luggage and who might be driving are settled.
Why choose automatic
List both ends of the journey and the intended schedule, the complete group, everything that must fit for the planned Chattenden hire, then use that list while comparing the vehicle groups shown.
Passengers and any second driver
Count everyone travelling, including the driver, and mention whether another person might share the driving, since a second driver needs to be added to the agreement before they take the wheel.
What you're bringing
Luggage space differs across car groups, so describe what needs to travel alongside your passengers rather than relying on the group name alone.
Fixing your dates
Settle travel dates early so the booking covers your entire journey from start to finish.

Car Hire questions
Why might an automatic suit a longer drive better than a manual?
Let us know your route and dates and we'll go through a suitable automatic group with you.
Can someone else drive during the hire besides me?
Yes, but any additional driver must be approved and added to the hire agreement before they get behind the wheel, so let us know their details when you book.
Is an automatic only worth choosing for long journeys?
Not at all, an automatic can make stop-start local driving easier too. Mention the type of journey you're planning so we can help you weigh up the options.
