Flexible Car Rental London

Our flexible car rental service covers any booking where the customer sets the hire length. Rental dates can be extended, shortened or moved during the hire (subject to availability).

Drivers across London or visiting London may only need a car for one afternoon of viewings; others need a hatchback car for a fortnight while a fleet vehicle sits in the workshop.

Choose a flexible rental period with Fairview Vehicle Hire, from:

  • One-day car hire for single-day jobs, appointments and day trips out of the city.
  • Two-day car hire for weekends away, house moves and work spread over two days.
  • Weekly car hire for holidays, longer repairs and full weeks of work.
  • Long-term hire from 28 days for extended projects and fleet gaps.

Hire periods run in 24-hour blocks, so a car collected at 11 am on Tuesday is due back by 11 am on the return day.

FAQs

  • Can I change my hire duration during the rental period?

    Yes. Hire periods can usually be extended or shortened once the rental has started. However, this is subject to vehicle availability. Call your collection branch before the original return time and our team will amend the agreement and confirm the revised cost. Any changes made after the return time has passed may be charged as a late return.

  • How easy is it to change or create a booking?

    Bookings can be created and amended through our online booking system, the Fairview app or by phone. Our mobile app stores your details and lets you update dates without resubmitting documents. Any amendments to your booking depend on availability for the new dates, so earlier notice gives you more choice of vehicles.

  • What are the driver requirements for a flexible hire?

    Drivers must be aged between 23 and 75 and must have held a full driving licence for at least two years to hire a vehicle with us. A surcharge applies to younger and older drivers, and the same requirements apply across all hire durations. Additional drivers can also be added at booking or at collection, and each one needs to meet the same age and licence requirements. Bring their licence to the branch so it can be checked before the keys are handed over.
