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.

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.
