Pick the exact capsule, car seat or booster online. We deal with your rental company, professionally fit it into your hire car before you arrive, and collect it when you drop the car off.
Walk off the plane, pick up your hire car, and the seat's already in.
Child seats aren't a rental company's core business. They're an add-on at the counter. That's fine until it's your baby going in it.
No photo, no model, no idea if it suits your child's age and size until you're standing at the desk.
Parents tell us they've been handed a seat that didn't suit their child's age or size, right when they need to get going.
Parents tell us seats have come loosely fitted. Not what you want after a flight, with your baby in the back.
