Get a cheap GEM car rental deal

Finding a cheap car rental deal is all about knowing where to look. Compare prices from trusted providers on Skyscanner to see what's out there. And if you're flexible, play around with your dates or pickup spot—it can sometimes bring the price down. Booking ahead can also help you save money, especially during busy periods, but it's always worth checking.

Long-term GEM car rental

Planning a longer trip? Enter your dates to find long-term GEM car rental deals. When booking for a few weeks or more, check the details carefully. Mileage limits, insurance cover, and fuel policies can all affect the total price.
Tip: If you need a car for more than three weeks, it can sometimes be cheaper to book a full month instead.

Rent a GEM for a day or weekend

A GEM can be a great option when you only need a car for a short time. It's ideal for getting around town or heading away for a weekend trip. Add your pickup location, dates and times on Skyscanner to compare short-term GEM car rental deals in one place. It's an easy way to check prices across providers and find an option that fits your plans.

Hourly GEM car rental

Only need your GEM for an hour or two? No problem. Hourly GEM car rental is a smart way to save time and money. You only pay for the hours you need, rather than a full day. It's especially useful when your plans are tight, like getting to an appointment or making a trip that's not easy by public transport. On Skyscanner, you can filter by pickup and drop-off times to find options that fit around your schedule.

Go farther with unlimited mileage

With some GEM rental deals, only a set number of miles is included in the price. If you go beyond that, you'll usually pay extra per mile, which can add up. Choosing unlimited mileage means you can drive as far as you like without those added costs. It's great if you're planning to cover more ground or want the freedom to change plans along the way. Just be sure to check "Unlimited Mileage" under "Policies" when you search.
Good to know: Some unlimited mileage deals include fair use policies. This means there may still be a cap on how many miles you can drive, so it's worth checking the terms before you book.

Need an automatic GEM?

Driving an automatic GEM is usually easier, especially in busy traffic or unfamiliar places. You don't need to manage gear changes, which can make longer drives feel more relaxed. It's also a good option if you usually drive an automatic—and essential if your license only allows you to drive automatic cars.
Keep in mind that automatic cars can be more expensive and may be less widely available in some destinations. On Skyscanner, just filter for automatic options by selecting "Automatic" under "Transmission".

Age rules for GEM car rental

You can still rent a GEM if you're under 25, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind. Some car rental providers will apply a young driver fee and they might need you to have held your license for at least one year. The rules vary depending on where you're traveling, so it's worth checking before you book. Simply uncheck "Driver aged between 25–⁠75" when you search on Skyscanner so you're only shown cars you can book.

Your guide to car rental

Here’s everything worth knowing before you pick up your GEM, so you know what to expect from pickup to drop-off.

Age requirements

Most drivers must be at least 21–25 to rent a car.

The exact car rental age limit depends on the car rental provider and the country’s driving rules. Drivers under 25 might need to pay a young driver fee, and some larger or premium @@car_type@@s might have stricter age limits.

Documents to bring

Bring your driver's license and a credit card.

You’ll need both of these when you pick up the car. Most companies ask for a credit card, although some accept debit cards with conditions. If you’re driving abroad, you might need an International Driving Permit (IDP). If you do, make sure to get one before you travel.

Deposits explained

The deposit is held on your card, not charged.

When you pick up the car, the company places a hold on your card. That means money is set aside while you have the car rather than taken as payment. After you return the car in good condition, the hold is removed, usually within a couple of days.

Car rental insurance

Insurance is included, but there’s a deductible.

A Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) comes with most car rentals, covering theft and damage. But if the car is damaged, you still need to pay a set amount known as the deductible. You can take out additional insurance to cover that cost.

Fuel and mileage

A full-to-full policy is usually the best value.

Full-to-full means you get the car with a full tank and return it full, so you only pay for what you use. Prepaid fuel options can be convenient, but they often end up costing more. You’ll also want to check whether the mileage is unlimited, especially if you’re planning a long drive.

Optional extras

The price covers the car and one driver.

Need a child seat, GPS, or an additional driver? They’re usually charged separately, often by the day. Prices vary depending on where and who you’re renting from, so it’s worth checking before you book.

GEM car rental FAQs

Does my insurance cover GEM car rental?

Most personal car insurance policies don't cover rental cars, especially if you're renting abroad. It's still worth checking your policy to be sure. Car rental insurance usually covers damage or theft. If something happens, you'll still need to pay an excess—a fixed amount if you make a claim. You can add extra cover to reduce or remove this excess.

What do I need for GEM car rental?

To collect your GEM, you'll usually need a valid driver's license and ID, such as a passport. Some rental companies may also ask for a credit card in the driver's name. Check the exact details with your rental provider after booking to avoid any issues at pickup.

What is the minimum age or age limit for GEM car rental?

The minimum age for GEM car rental is usually between 21 and 25, depending on the country and rental company. Drivers under 25 often pay a young driver fee. There’s no fixed upper age limit, but some companies may have extra requirements or charges for drivers over 75. It’s worth checking the rental terms before you book.

Can I rent the GEM with no deposit?

Most car rental providers ask for a deposit for GEM car rental. This amount is held on your card in case the car is returned damaged or there are extra charges, like missing fuel or late drop-off. Some providers offer no-deposit options, but these are less common and may come with higher prices or stricter terms.

What are the rules for renting a van?

The rules for renting a van are similar to car rental, but there are a few differences worth knowing. Just like car rental, you'll need a valid driver's license, photo ID, and a debit or credit card. But van rental often comes with stricter rules, especially around age, how long you've held your license, and insurance cover. Deposits can also be higher. The rules can vary by provider, so it's worth checking the terms before you book to avoid any surprises.
