Our verdict
Enterprise Rent-A-Car suits family trips that need a car at the far end of a flight, and the NomadCue car hire shortlist sets 102 rental brands side by side. The median daily rate across those listings is €6.50, which suits travellers who want to compare before they commit.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Car hire carries the most weight in the shortlist, at 100%, so rental options sit at the top of the list.
- Rental pages sit next to flights and hotels, at 50% and 58.8%, so a whole trip can be sorted in one place.
- Most brands in the shortlist offer a booking app, at 86%, so a reservation can be handled from a phone.
- The cheapest daily rates sit at €0.70, which keeps a short hire affordable.
Cons
- Prices vary widely: the cheapest daily rate is €0.70 and the dearest is €43.84, so the total climbs fast on longer hires.
- A deposit is on the table for most rentals, and the median level is €50 while the highest is €263.09.
- Live chat is thin in the shortlist, at 42.9% against 71.4% for phone, so quick answers may need a call.
Who it suits
- Families landing at an airport who need a car for the rest of the trip and can book it next to the flight.
- Travellers weighing daily rates and deposits first, since the shortlist spans 102 rental brands.
- People sorting a car, a stay and a flight together, with hotels at 58.8% and transfers at 29.4% on the same pages.
Who should look elsewhere
- Travellers who only want a transfer or parking slot, since those sit lower in the shortlist than rental listings.
- Anyone shopping for eSIM data plans or pocket WiFi, as this part of the site covers vehicle hire rather than connectivity.

Frequently asked questions
What does a rental car cost per day on average?+
The median daily rate across the rental listings is €6.50. The cheapest listings sit at €0.70 a day and the dearest reach €43.84, so the class of car and the length of the hire both move the total a long way.
Is a deposit needed when I book a rental car?+
Most rentals in the shortlist ask for a deposit, and the median level is €50 while the highest is €263.09. Some listings sit at €0, so the amount blocked on a card varies by company and by the vehicle chosen.
Can I book a car together with flights and hotels?+
Yes, and the shortlist reflects that mix: flights appear on 50% of the rental pages and hotels on 58.8%, with transfers at 29.4% and parking at 12.7%. A trip can be sorted across vehicle, stay and travel in one place.
Is there an app for booking and managing a rental car?+
Most brands in the car hire shortlist have a booking app, at 86%, so reservations and changes can be handled on a phone. Fewer, at 14%, run on a website alone, so the app status for a specific company is worth checking first.
How do I get help if a rental booking goes wrong?+
Phone support is the most common route in the shortlist, at 71.4%, with email at 80.2% and a help centre at 84.6%. Chat sits lower, at 42.9%, so a call or an email is the surer option.
How many car hire companies can I compare here?+
The car hire shortlist covers 102 rental brands, enough to show a spread of daily rates and deposits rather than a single quote. More broadly the site tracks 1,014 travel brands, so rental listings sit next to the larger booking categories.
Are these rentals useful for trips longer than an airport run?+
Longer trips shape a large part of the site, with 71.1% aimed at longer journeys against 98.9% for short breaks. That suits a rental well, since the daily rate at €6.50 matters more the further a family drives.
What sizes do the vans come in?+
The van range runs from small to XL, and includes Luton vans and specialist models for heavier or more unusual loads. Choosing the right size depends on the load a driver needs to carry.
Which kinds of trips can the car and van hire cover?+
Hire covers business trips, weekend getaways, household moves and family holidays across the UK. Cars and vans are both available for these needs.
Who uses the vehicle hire programmes?+
Organisations use these programmes when they need vehicles shaped around their own requirements. The arrangement is flexible and works around the way a fleet is used.
