What do we offer? Your booking will be handled by one of our experienced advisers from the moment you make the enquiry to the day you collect your vehicle. So you can be assured that every aspect of your booking is looked after by an individual and not getting lost in a computer!
Advice on choosing the right rental car. We will help you choose the right car for your needs and budget and always offer a couple of options.
Automatic or manual transmission. Most cars are still manual transmission in the UK but we understand that alot of our overseas customers might prefer an automatic. That's why we run a higher percentage of automatic cars on our rental fleet.
We offer a variety of ways of getting you into your rental car. We can meet you in the arrivals lounge with our Pre-booked taxi service from the following Airports:
Heathrow Airport, Gatwick Airport, Luton Airport, Stansted Airport, Birmingham InternationalAirport.
Ride & Hire Service. If you are planning to spend a few days in London first, a rental car could be a nuisance, when you are ready to hire you can take a short train journey from London Marylebone station to Haddenham and Thame Parkway and we will meet you there
Delivery & Collection Service If you don't want to get into an unfamiliar car in an unfamiliar country right after long flight, just let us know where you are staying and we will meet you there with your rental car.
Tailor made quotation. Once our rental advisor knows exactly what you require, they will email you a quotation which will be easy to understand and offer great value. You will find it very competitive and there will be no hidden extras.
Easy Booking. In order to book a car you just need to tell us you would like to go ahead, we will not ask for a deposit, we will confirm the details with you to make sure we have it right. We will talk to you again a few days before your arrival to check whether there have been any alterations to your travel arrangements. We will ask for flight numbers if we are meeting you at the airport so that we can track your progress whilst you are in the air.
We have got you covered. You will have full comprehensive motor insurance provided by ourselves and the cost of this is included in our original quotation. We will make sure that you qualify for this before you arrive and we will let you know what documents you need to have with you.
Don't be nervous. Once you are with us, we will have time for you. We will help familiarize yourself with your rental vehicle. If you would like we will come for a drive with you and let you get used to our roads and your car we will also make sure you know how to get to your next destination.

Don't take our word for it, here's what our customers say....
"I phoned Will Pribyl at Thame Service Station from Waikanae, New Zealand having found their website prior to traveling to Thame to visit my son. Will was extremely helpful, recommended the perfect vehicle for our trip, said he would have the car ready for me when I arrived and was looking forward to meeting me. Not only that, he gave me an excellent rate on the rental. A month later, I arrived in Thame and went to pick up the car. It was there, fully groomed,in the forecourt ready to be driven away. The vehicle, a Zafira, was almost new and as promised perfect for our travels. Will and the crew were a pleasure to deal with, professional and friendly. I would thoroughly recommend Thame Service Station Car Hire. I will definitely be using them again."
John Cudby, Waikanae, New Zealand
"Thame Service Station provided personal service, clearly answering our questions (such as guaranteeing a GPS) before we arrived.They were convenient (a short train trip from London) and courteous. The car performed flawlessly, and is now one of the great memories we have of traveling the UK."
Allen (tourist, Australia)
"We hired a car from Thame Service Station during our first trip to the UK. We dealt directly with Will, the rental manager, who actually picked us up at the train station on a Sunday, when no other car hire business was even open. He took the time to give us right-side drivers a lesson in driving on the left side, had a sense of humor and was forgiving when the first thing I did was to drive over a curb! The price was reasonable and the service was superior. I will definitely hire from them again when I return to the UK, which I hope to do in the near future as I fell in love with the country and its people."
