One-way car hire

We understand that car hire is about freedom and flexibility; not every road trip finishes where it begins. So, for those journeys when A to B is all you need, we offer one-way car hire options to get you there hassle-free.

One-way car hire is ideal for when you need to pick up a rental car in one destination and drop it off in another. Pick up your car straight from the airport and drop it off at a convenient location when you’re done. It saves you time and effort– compare now to get the best deal.

A one-way adventure into unknown lands, a business trip with multiple stops or perhaps a big move somewhere new and exciting – whatever type of trip you’re planning, we have the car hire solution for you.

One-way rental is perfect for those long journeys where coming back just doesn’t fit into your itinerary or when driving off the beaten track is the best way to explore. Booking one way you can cross borders, discover more countries and explore hidden cities. Pick up your car in one place, drop it off in another – It’s as simple as the open road.

Finding the best car rental for your trip takes a little bit of research, but it’s the best way to save.

We’ve rounded up some of the industry’s leading providers in order to give you the widest choice. Simply enter your requirements above being sure to uncheck the box marked ‘return to same location’, search and compare the options available.

Often there will be a fee for dropping off the car in a different place, as the supplier will need to have the vehicle delivered back to its original location. Unfortunately, this is just one of those costs you can’t really avoid. However, by booking early you can still find cheap and affordable options.

Need a little inspiration? No problem – some of the world’s most iconic drives just happen to be remarkable one-way routes.

You could take on the Great Ocean Road (Adelaide to Melbourne), the Pacific Coast Highway (Los Angeles to San Francisco) or La Route des Grandes Alpes (Geneva to Nice). Or why not make your own route? With one-way car hire, the open road is yours to explore.
