Hertz, Europcar and Sixt are some of the top-ranked providers in the city. They're a smart place to start comparing offers.
Whether you choose Hertz or another supplier, make sure you understand the coverage on your Uppsala car hire. Some companies include a collision damage waiver (CDW), while others sell it as a separate extra.
Choosing a one-way car hire is often a great hack for cheaper deals. Simply check 'Return car to a different location.' Providers often have to move vehicles from one location to another, which means you can lock in some fantastic one-way prices on a car for rent in Uppsala.
Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your car with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. You won't get hit with overpriced refueling charges either.
Hit the highway without counting the miles and racking up additional fees. Go to the 'Policies' filter and select 'Unlimited mileage' to find a ride that lets you go the distance.
