About 1 Day Car Hire
Sometimes you only need a vehicle for a single day — and that is exactly what RentWith is here for. Our one day car hire service is available at hundreds of locations across the UK, giving you the flexibility to collect a well-maintained, fully insured car exactly when and where you need it.
Whether you are heading to a meeting and your own car is in for a service, making a one-off journey that would be impractical in your usual vehicle, or simply taking a day trip and wanting something more comfortable or practical than your own car, a single-day rental from RentWith is the ideal solution. We make the process as simple as possible — call our team, tell us where you are, when you need the car, and what type of vehicle you require, and we will do the rest.
Our daily hire fleet covers a wide range of vehicle types. You can hire a small city car for easy urban driving and parking, a mid-size saloon or hatchback for comfortable longer journeys, an estate car if you need more boot space, an SUV or 4x4 for a more commanding driving position, or an automatic if you prefer a relaxed driving experience. We also offer 7-seater people carriers for days when you need to transport a larger group without the expense of multiple vehicles.
Same-day collection is available at many of our UK locations, so even if your requirement is last-minute, there is a good chance we can help. Our vehicles are cleaned and checked before every hire, so you can be confident you are getting into a car that is in excellent condition.
One day car hire is also popular with businesses. If a member of staff needs to travel and their usual company vehicle is unavailable, or if you have a client meeting that requires a smarter car than usual, our daily business hire service offers a quick and professional solution. Fleet and account options are available — just ask when you call.
Drivers under 25 are welcome on many of our daily hire vehicles, making RentWith one of the more accessible options for younger drivers who struggle to find insurers willing to cover them for short-term hire. We also cater for drivers who prefer not to leave a large deposit — call us to discuss the options available at your preferred location.
Returning the vehicle is straightforward. You bring it back to the collection point within your agreed hire window, fuel topped up to the level you received it, and our team will carry out a brief inspection. In most cases the whole return process takes just a few minutes.
If your plans change and you need the car for longer than expected, extending your hire is usually possible. Simply call us before your agreed return time and we will check availability and arrange an extension where we can.
For the best selection of vehicles and locations, we recommend calling ahead — particularly during peak periods such as school holidays and Bank Holidays. Our team is on hand to help you find the right vehicle at the right time, making one day car hire as effortless as possible.
