A Warm Welcome to the new-style Premier Car Hire. It's now more than 18 years since Irene Morrison, still our Managing Director today, set-up one of the United Kingdom's first independant car hire brokers. In a world increasingly dominated by vertically integrated travel corporations trying to palm you off with their "in-house" car company or make a quick buck for an "add-on" sale, it's nice to know you're dealing with real travel industry professionals. At Premier, we live and breathe car hire. We do one thing. We do it perfectly, every time.
Our new site marks our joint venture with CarJet.com, Spain's Nş#1 car hire company, to bring together the worldwide in-depth experience of Premier and the state-of-the-art booking technology that has become the trademark of CarJet.com in recent years. Our new look is more than just a cosmetic change : it allows us to assist customers in real-time worldwide with overheads that are the envy of the industry - which translates into rock-bottom prices. In a fast-changing and demanding world of low-cost aviation, we want to become your preferred car hire partner wherever your travels take you. We don't apply cancellation charges and instead of giving you grief when you need to change something, you'll find we're here ready to help when you suddenly need to reorganise your travel plans.
