Budget is the cheapest company at Providence Airport for an Intermediate car, averaging £46 a day over the last 12 months from 1,725 prices, but its desk accepts only credit cards. National sits at the high end at £75 a day and scores 92/100 from 279 reviews. All 8 rental desks sit directly at the airport, so saving money never means boarding a shuttle bus. If you need to pay with a debit card, Thrifty is the only provider that accepts one outright, at £52 a day.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.
