Cost saving is always a defining factor when planning a trip.

You don’t want to splurge it all on your hire car.

At Avis, we understand that low-cost car rental is a priority. That’s why our economy car rentals are both cost-effective and fuel-efficient, saving you money while still delivering our exacting quality assurance.

Economy car hire saves you money

There’s no shortage of things to factor into your travel budget. Flights, accommodation, and meals are just the basics, and the last thing you want to worry about is the price of your car rental on top of all that. Our economy hire cars are both cheaper to rent and more economical to run.

Your economy car rental package has no hidden costs

At Avis, we pride ourselves on transparency. Our economy cars are cheaper to hire, full stop. There’s no catch, and there are no hidden costs. That means you can breeze from A to B without having to second-guess what ‘extras’ have been added to your bill or argue about what is and isn’t included in your economy car hire package. With Avis, you know exactly how much your hire car costs, making your check-in and drop-off easy and efficient every time.

What is the difference between an economy and a compact rental car?

The difference between an economy car and a compact rental car is usually related to their size. Economy hire cars can be slightly smaller than compact cars. Both tend to be low cost and fuel efficient.

Smaller size means easier manoeuvrability. If you’re heading on a road trip across Europe, our economy hire cars are by far the best way to negotiate the notoriously narrow streets that thread through its charming towns and villages.

From England’s winding country lanes to the cobbled one-way routes that traverse France’s atmospheric old towns and Spain’s pueblos blancos, a smaller economy hire car is your best option to get around – and the locals will definitely agree.

When it comes to parking, you’ll find an economy rental car much easier to nudge into a free spot.

Not only are you saving money with a small economy hire car, you’ll also find it much easier to drive.

Choose a reliable economy rental car from Avis for peace of mind, easy handling and to save money as you travel.
