british english - rent a car, rent out a car, hire a car


English not my native language. I'm trying to understand what would be correct in British English.


If I want to use a car for some time. I can say, "I want to rent a car". But from my knowledge there may be a misunderstanding. I can say the same words if I want to give a car to someone to use for some time and I want to receive payment.


So what would be correct and not misunderstanding?




  • 1) I want to use a car for some time = "I want to hire a car"





  • 2) I want to give a car to someone to use for some time = "rent out a car"




Is my understanding correct?
