About Argus Car Hire
How it works
Travellers enter a pick-up place and dates, compare the cars available from different suppliers, then book through Argus. Popular destinations include Spain, France, Italy, Ireland and the UK. Vehicle types run from small economy cars for city driving to larger family models and luxury cars.
Because Argus acts as an agent, the car itself comes from one of its partner suppliers. Check what each quote includes before paying. Basic insurance is usually part of the price, but a collision damage waiver often has to be bought separately.
Booking and support
Many bookings can be cancelled free of charge, which helps when plans change. Support runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by phone on +44 20 7099 3787 or by email at [email protected]. The Argus Car Hire app keeps booking documents paperless and lets drivers pick up their car using their phone.
Visa, Mastercard and American Express are accepted. Argus also has a price match promise and a loyalty programme for frequent renters, and NHS and healthcare workers can get a discount.
