For travelers who don't require much space, a small, compact car is ideal for driving and parking around Luton and even London. But if you're planning a road trip to the countryside or to the coast, a sedan or a minivan might be a better option — especially if you're traveling with the whole family, as it offers enough space for everyone.

When you get a car hire in Luton you can get add-ons to aid your journey. Around-the-clock breakdown ensures that you can get assistance, no matter the issue, 24-hours per day. A sat-nav is a good idea if you aren’t familiar with the roads, ensuring you don’t get lost. Whereas an additional driver means you can share your time behind the wheel.
Cycling is a popular sport in England, with it being no different in Luton. You should therefore drive carefully when in the centre of the town. Whilst there are a few cycle paths, the majority of the time bicycles and cars have to share the road. So you should regularly check your mirrors for cyclists. This is particularly important at roundabouts and turns.

Pros:
The car onlyCons:
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

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.One location in Luton

Some Luton car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Luton.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Luton car hire.
