  • Thinking of staying longer? Book a weekly home from $361 and explore beyond the usual highlights.

  • To score the best price on a Selby car hire, it's a good idea to book in advance. Rates generally climb as your travel dates approach, and you might be left with fewer choices.

  • Whether you book with Enterprise or a different supplier, make sure you understand the coverage on your Selby car hire. Some companies include a collision damage waiver (CDW), while others offer it as an optional extra.

  • Consider booking a one-way home. You might be able to lock in a good deal if the provider needs to shift vehicles between branches. Find the best available rates by selecting 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Avoid any surprise charges by choosing a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' Start your journey with a full tank and return it the same, paying only for what you use.
