THE OUT vs Turo, Avis Prestige and Sixt: who delivers to your door

Affiliate disclosure: this post covers THE OUT referral code CI311. A first booking made with it takes £50 off for you and pays £50 in account credit to the referring member. Turo, Avis Prestige, Sixt, Enterprise and Hiyacar pay this site nothing. I have not hired from any of the six, so nothing below is a service I have used. Every claim is the operator’s own published words, with the date it was read.

Short answer: “delivered to your door” is not a feature that separates these operators, because five of the six do it. THE OUT, Avis Prestige, Sixt, Enterprise’s Exotic Car Collection and Turo hosts who offer delivery will all bring a car to a UK address; only Hiyacar makes you go to the car. What separates them is who pays for the delivery and what turns up on the driveway. THE OUT’s free zone is London Zones 1–5, select airports and Greater Birmingham; Avis Prestige’s is the borough of Kensington and Chelsea. And Sixt tells you outright that it rents vehicle groups rather than makes and models, which is the one thing THE OUT and Turo both refuse to do.

Each of these operators describes its own delivery service and none of them describes anybody else’s, so everything below is built from what each one publishes about itself, and every claim links back to the page it came from.

Every one of them delivers, and the bill is where they differ

THE OUT’s free zone is a city. Avis Prestige’s is one borough

THE OUT states its free area on both its homepage and its about page, read on 22 August 2026. The about page: “Delivery and collection is free in London (Zones 1-5), as well as select airports and Greater Birmingham locations.” Outside it, THE OUT is unusually blunt about what happens next, on that about page (opens in new tab):

Booking from further afield? We’ll work out the additional delivery cost. But the further from our home city, the more we need to charge. Read as: if you live in Durness or St Ives, it might not be cheap.

Avis Prestige also delivers, and its own pages say so three ways: home delivery (opens in new tab) “anywhere in Central London”, hotel delivery (opens in new tab) in Central London, Manchester or Edinburgh, and a bespoke service for anywhere else. The cost is a footnote on its delivery page (opens in new tab), read 22 August 2026:

Free delivery within Kensington and Chelsea (other locations quoted on request).

One London borough against most of Greater London, plus a second city on top. That gap is what THE OUT actually wins here, and it is not the same thing as being the only operator that delivers.

Sixt publishes no free zone at all. Its help centre (opens in new tab), captured 12 May 2026, describes SIXT Delivery as bringing the car “directly to your home or business address”, and prices it plainly: “Charges are calculated by direct distance.” Payment has to be a credit card, the booking has to be prepaid, and its Terms and Conditions for the Rental of a Vehicle 07/2026 (opens in new tab) add that delivery runs inside branch opening hours with a minimum of two opening hours’ notice, and that you must be present with the card you booked on.

Enterprise’s Exotic Car Collection is the same answer with fewer numbers. Its UK FAQ says “Our Exotic and Luxury cars can be conveniently delivered right to your door”, and when asked what that costs, answers in one sentence: “Yes. Delivery and collection charges are available on application.” Two other conditions are firmer than anybody else’s here, and both narrow who the service is for: a minimum two-day hire on every Exotic vehicle, and a minimum driver age of 30.

Sixt sells you a category. THE OUT and Turo sell you a car

This is the axis that decides whether a comparison is even possible, and Sixt answers it against itself. From the same help centre, under how to book a specific car:

SIXT generally offers the rental of vehicle groups, not specific makes or models. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a particular car model.

You can leave a preference in the comments box and pick from what is on the forecourt about half an hour before your rental starts. That is a fair deal for an airport hire and a bad one for a wedding.

THE OUT sells the opposite, and puts it in capitals on its homepage: “GET THE CAR YOU BOOK”. Its about page finishes the sentence: “You. A road trip. And the car you actually wanted to drive.” The catch is the fleet those words apply to, which is Jaguar and Land Rover and nothing else. If the car you actually wanted to drive is a Porsche, THE OUT is not in this comparison at all.

Turo makes the same promise from the other end. Its UK homepage leads on “Rent the exact car you want, exactly where you need it”, and its London page explains why that is structurally true rather than a slogan: “Turo does not own any vehicles.” Every listing is one identified car belonging to one host, so booking one (opens in new tab) means “you’ll choose exactly the car you’ll drive instead of picking a category”. Range Rovers and Jaguars are both on it in London, alongside makes THE OUT does not carry.

Avis Prestige sits between the two. It lists cars by make across Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Range Rover, Tesla, Volkswagen and Volvo, the broadest fleet of any operator here that owns its cars, but nothing on its site is bookable online: every page ends at an enquiry form or the phone number 020 7591 0444. One more line on its delivery page is worth reading before assuming the fleet behaves uniformly: “The majority of our fleet vehicles include free unlimited mileage however, there are a select few cars that have a 100-mile daily allowance.”

The premium sub-brand missing from all of this is Hertz’s. Its UK Collections page still carries a link to /p/collections/dream, and on 22 August 2026 that link redirected to Hertz’s ordinary booking form rather than a Dream Collection page, while the neighbouring /p/collections/premium loaded normally. Whatever Hertz is doing with it, there is no UK Dream Collection page left to compare against.

Three of them publish an age policy, and it runs from 21 to 30

Turo’s floor is the lowest of the three, and the only one below 25. Its London page sets three tiers: “To book a car on Turo in London and the UK, you must be 21 or older. If you’re 25 or older, you’ll have access to an even wider selection of vehicles with our Deluxe class. You’ll also have access to our Super deluxe class if you’re 30 or older.”

THE OUT’s eligibility article (opens in new tab), last updated 20 March 2024, sets a band rather than a floor: drivers must “be between the ages of 25 and 74 during the rental period on all our cars OR be between the ages of 30 and 74 for our Jaguar F-type”, with a licence held at least two years, no more than six points from minor convictions and none from major ones. THE OUT is the only one of the three to publish a ceiling as well as a floor, and 74 is worth knowing before a family trip is planned around it.

Enterprise sets the highest floor and no ceiling: 30 on every Exotic vehicle, plus a major credit card and a Renter Verification check. Avis Prestige, Sixt and Hiyacar publish no age policy on the pages read for this comparison, so ask before booking.

Turo is the one that got bigger this year

Turo’s UK position is worth checking rather than assuming, because the market moved under it. Business Matters (opens in new tab) reported on 20 March 2026 that Zipcar withdrew from London at the end of 2025, that Turo has operated in the UK since 2018, that more than 2,000 London motorists now list cars on it, and that it spent £120,000 on Underground and Overground advertising aimed at Zipcar’s former customers. Its UK managing director is Rory Brimmer. Turo also shelved a New York listing over the same period, which is a shareholder story rather than a renter one.

Hiyacar, the peer-to-peer platform usually named in the same breath, works differently in the way that matters here. Its help centre (opens in new tab) describes the handover as: “turn up at the location provided, meet the owner of the car, pick up the car using the app (for pictures of the car’s condition) and exchange keys.” Delivery is not part of the model. If the question is who brings a car to your door, Hiyacar answers it by not competing.

What this page does not settle

Price. Every operator here quotes rather than publishes, so a like-for-like daily rate does not exist to be compared, and inventing one from six different quoting mechanisms would produce a number nobody could check. What THE OUT costs, where each circulating figure came from, and the £5,000 deposit hold it puts on every vehicle are all in how much THE OUT costs. What the five published reviews of it say, and where their numbers have since inverted, is in what reviewers say about THE OUT.

Nor is any of this firsthand. I have not hired from THE OUT, Turo, Avis Prestige, Sixt, Enterprise or Hiyacar, which is why every claim above is a link to the operator’s own page and a date. The one number this site does own: THE OUT runs no public voucher codes, so its refer-a-friend code is the only discount that exists on it. Code CI311 takes £50 off a first booking and pays £50 in account credit to the member who referred you.

Premium car hire delivery FAQs

Which UK car hire companies deliver to your door?

Five of the six premium operators compared here do. THE OUT delivers and collects UK-wide, free in London Zones 1–5, select airports and Greater Birmingham. Avis Prestige delivers to a home anywhere in Central London, to hotels in Central London, Manchester and Edinburgh, and elsewhere by arrangement. Sixt delivers to a home or business address, charged by direct distance. Enterprise delivers its Exotic Car Collection with charges on application. On Turo, delivery is offered by individual hosts to airports, stations, hotels or an address you choose. Hiyacar is the exception: you go to the car and meet its owner.

Is THE OUT’s delivery actually free?

Inside its published zone, yes. THE OUT’s own homepage and about page both state free delivery and collection in London Zones 1–5, select airports and Greater Birmingham, with fees applying elsewhere and worked out from the postcode you enter. Its about page warns that the further you are from its home city, the more it charges. No rival here publishes a free zone anywhere near that size: Avis Prestige’s is the borough of Kensington and Chelsea, and Sixt and Enterprise publish none at all.

THE OUT or Turo, for a Range Rover in London?

Both will put you in one, and the difference is what you are buying. THE OUT is a single operator with a Jaguar Land Rover fleet, delivery included free across London Zones 1–5, and one company answering the phone if something goes wrong. Turo is a marketplace of individual owners where you pick the exact listed car, delivery and price are set by that host, and consistency depends on which host you booked. Turo is also the only one of the two that rents to drivers aged 21 to 24.

Is THE OUT the only way to hire a Range Rover in the UK?

No. THE OUT is the only operator here whose whole fleet is Jaguar Land Rover, because it is owned by JLR’s InMotion Ventures arm, but the cars are not exclusive to it. Avis Prestige lists Jaguar, Land Rover and Range Rover among the ten makes on its site. Turo’s London page has browse pages for both marques and calls Land Rovers “one of the most popular vehicles on Turo for London car hire”. Hertz put a Range Rover Sport in the ten models it launched its UK Dream Collection with in 2014. What THE OUT sells that the others do not is the delivery of one, free, across London Zones 1–5, select airports and Greater Birmingham.

What is the minimum age to hire a luxury car in the UK?

It ranges from 21 to 30 depending on the operator. Turo starts at 21, opens its Deluxe class at 25 and its Super deluxe class at 30. THE OUT requires drivers to be 25 to 74 on all its cars, and 30 to 74 on the Jaguar F-Type, with a licence held for at least two years. Enterprise sets the highest floor of the three, at 30 for every vehicle in its Exotic Car Collection, along with a minimum two-day hire.

Does Sixt guarantee the car model you book?

No, and it says so. Its help centre states that it “generally offers the rental of vehicle groups, not specific makes or models” and that it cannot guarantee a particular model. You can note a preference when booking, and about 30 minutes before your rental starts the Sixt app lets you choose from the vehicles available in the group you booked. THE OUT and Turo both work the other way: THE OUT’s homepage promises the car you book, and every Turo listing is one specific car belonging to one owner.

Does Hertz still have a Dream Collection in the UK?

Not on a page you can reach. Hertz’s UK Collections page still links to /p/collections/dream, and on 22 August 2026 that link redirected to the standard Hertz booking form rather than a Dream Collection page, while /p/collections/premium on the same site loaded normally. Hertz launched the Dream Collection in the UK (opens in new tab) on 26 February 2014, with the Bentley Continental GT, Aston Martin DB9 and Range Rover Sport among the ten models it announced.
