About Orbit Car Hire

Orbit Car Hire is a global car rental comparison platform helping travellers find transparent, reliable car hire deals across Europe and beyond.

Making Car Rental Clear, Fair, and Easy

Orbit Car Hire is a global car rental comparison platform built to help travellers find reliable, transparent car hire deals — without hidden surprises.

We believe renting a car should feel straightforward, not stressful. That's why we focus on clear pricing, honest comparisons, and helping customers understand exactly what they're booking before they arrive at the rental desk.

Iceland, Reykjavík

Orbit Car Hire: Compare, Book & Save!

Orbit Car Hire was founded in 2020 in Reykjavík, Iceland. During the COVID-19 pandemic, two friends identified a clear gap in the car rental market: renting a car was often unnecessarily complicated. Their goal was simple — to make car rental easier, clearer, and more transparent for travellers worldwide.

By partnering with both world-leading car rental brands and trusted local suppliers, Orbit Car Hire has grown into a global comparison platform. Today, travellers can compare car rental options in over 25,500 locations worldwide, working with more than 100 rental companies.

Quality has always been at the core of Orbit's approach, reflected in strong customer feedback and consistently high ratings on trusted review platforms such as Trustpilot and Google.

What Orbit Car Hire Does

Orbit Car Hire compares car rental offers from carefully selected local and international rental companies, allowing travellers to review prices, vehicle options, and rental terms in one place.

Instead of visiting multiple websites or guessing what's included, Orbit helps travellers:

  • Compare real rental offers side by side
  • Understand insurance, deposits, and fuel policies upfront
  • Choose a rental that fits their trip — not just the lowest headline price

Today, Orbit Car Hire enables travellers to compare car rental options in over 25,500 locations worldwide, working with more than 100 trusted rental companies.

How Our Platform Works

Orbit Car Hire does not own vehicles or operate rental fleets.

Our platform works by:

  1. Connecting travellers with trusted rental suppliers
  2. Displaying available vehicles and rental terms clearly
  3. Allowing customers to review key conditions before booking

Orbit Car Hire earns a commission from rental suppliers when a booking is made through our platform.
This commission does not affect the price you pay, and suppliers cannot pay to rank higher in search results.

Transparency is fundamental to how Orbit Car Hire operates.

Our Focus on Quality and Trust

Quality has always been at the core of Orbit Car Hire.

We work closely with suppliers to ensure:

  • Clear rental terms
  • Fair fuel and insurance policies
  • Consistent service standards

This focus is reflected in strong customer feedback and consistently high ratings on trusted review platforms such as Trustpilot and Google.

Customer reviews play a key role in how we improve - helping us refine our platform, strengthen partnerships, and deliver a better rental experience over time.
