FAQs
Is there a ‘grace period’ if I return my car late?
We give you a grace period of 29 minutes to return your car. If you’re any later than that, we’ll charge you a day’s rental fee. However, this charge is up to the Hertz location’s discretion.
Can I get Liability Protection with Hertz?
We don’t offer Liability Protection under the default Hertz Rental Agreement. You may still be liable to pay excess in the event of an accident, or if the car is stolen. You can, however, choose SuperCover protection as an add-on with Hertz rentals.
How can I pay for my Hertz hire car at Bristol Airport?
You can pay for your car hire in person at the Hertz pick-up desk via credit or debit. However, you may also find that you have a better variety of rental options and preferable rates if you pre-pay on the Hertz website.

Do I need to return my hire car with a full tank?
You must return your car with a full tank if you opted for our ‘full to full’ fuel purchase option (FPO) when booking a car rental at Bristol Airport. This is often a good idea if you’re only planning on doing a short journey.
However, if you choose our ‘full to empty’ FPO, you don’t have to refill before returning your car. Instead, you just buy a full tank at the start of your rental period.
How much does it cost to hire a car from Bristol Airport with Hertz?
Car hire costs will depend on the vehicle you choose, the length of your rental period, your chosen Fuel Purchase Options and any additional extras. We’ll let you know what everything will come to before you pick your car up.
