The right car for the run

Nine classes, from a nippy city runabout to a 7-seat MPV, electric, premium and an XL van. Every one comes fully insured, with unlimited mileage on one-way hires — and never a one-way fee.

Always included

Every hire, every class — the full kit as standard

No drip-pricing and no surprises at the desk. Whichever car you choose, all of this is built into the price you see.

  • Full insurance — collision damage waiver (CDW) and theft protection included, excess reducible.
  • Unlimited mileage on every one-way hire — drive your route with nothing to count.
  • The airport drop — leave the car at the terminal and walk straight to your gate.
  • No one-way fee, ever — you drive the route our fleet already needs, so there's nothing to surcharge.
  • Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup — plans change, and that's fine.
  • 24/7 roadside assistance — round-the-clock cover, whatever time your flight is.
  • Multi-point safety check — every car is inspected and prepared before it reaches you.
  • Clean, recent cars — a well-kept modern fleet, valeted and ready to go.
A greener way to fly out

38% of our fleet is electric or hybrid

The whole Waylaid model is built on cutting waste — we skip the empty "deadhead" repositioning runs that conventional rental firms pay drivers to make, because the paying customer drives the car the way the fleet already needs to go. Fewer empty miles, lower emissions.

We're growing the electrified side of the fleet every year, from the Tesla Model 3 and similar EVs to hybrid SUVs like the Qashqai. Choosing one means a quieter, cleaner trip to the terminal — at the same fair, no-one-way-fee price.

Saved vs rivals' one-way fees

  • No empty repositioning runs — the customer makes the move rivals pay drivers to make.
  • Double utilisation — each car earns out and then carries inbound airport travellers back.
  • A modern, well-maintained fleet — and a growing share of it electrified.
