Reasonable and Reliable

I have been using 121 Car Hire for some years now and must say, it is easy and straight forward. Rather than looking around on various car hire companies, 121 Car Hire uses all major companies and offer a very competitive prices. Very satisfied, have booked with them a few times already and will happily continue to book with 121 in the future. Will most definitely recommend to all friends and family.

Easy to book friendly and a good price

The booking was easy to understand, but read the small print, you dont always get the car you want! ( it does say that though) which was a shame as I did want a Mustang :( San Fransico pick up and drop off point dead easy. Car was good condition and clean when we got it not so when i took it back (sorry!. No mileage limit was also a bonus. I will use again.

great service, great value

Took out excess cover as well. When I arrived at Myrtle Beach SC the only issue was to fill the car up before return, no trying to buy a bigger vehicle or sell me further insurance. Quality of Dodge Vans were excellent. The trip was a golf trip for 9 guys. had two vans and everything was smooth and easy. Per-head it was really good value as well.

121carhire Best of the Best

The reservation process as well as the cancelation process is extremely easy. The vehicle choice's are nothing but the very best quality and enjoyable to drive. The price's are unbeleavablely priced for the average traveler, meaning I'm retired and can afford car's through 121carhire.

I was very happy with the car and service of people. I...

I was very happy with the car and service of people. I had to fiddle on the website a bit to work out an easy location to collect the car and make sure that I could return it on a Sunday. Many places would not allow Sunday returns, but 121 would which was very important to me. The other problem was that I nominated the station as a pick up and return point only to find that they do NOT pick up or return at the station. A staff member kindly and very quickly picked us up and looked after us well. I had to return the car and was not given directions from Reading so did have a bit of trouble finding the depot again.

Hassle free

Easy going, hassle free company. Would recommend to other travelers but suggest more info about getting to car hire location. (Relevant to Toronto. Shuttle needs to drop off at car hire location, not the hotel).

Simply fantastic

I have to admit that after beating the competition hands down price wise I was a little sceptical when our similar vehicle choice changed when we booked our car. However, as I had made a slight mistake I phoned 121's friendly and professional service team who swiftly resolved the issue and put my mind at ease. Our car was through Alamo, who again were impressive - albeit 121 beat them hands down on their direct price. Our Jeep was perfect for driving upto and around icy Whistler, Canada and I will most certainly use www.121carhire.com in the future.

Is Car-Rentals.com the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

Our rates are all-inclusive. Our reservation department will inform you in advance should additional costs apply. You can always cancel your booking free of charge if you do not agree (this must be done at least 48 hours prior to the start of the car hire period).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.
