What’s Included
Insurance
Insurance is included in the cost of hiring the vehicle. With our standard insurance, the excess, which is what you could be liable for, is £1,500. For an additional payment (£15 for one day), you can purchase Collision Damage Waiver, which will reduce your liability for any damage down to £250. See our section on insurance for further information.
Although it is unlikely that you will be involved in a breakdown or an accident, you have the piece of mind that you are provided with a 24 Hour Helpline to fully assist you.
Mileage Allowance
You are allowed 200 free miles per day. For longer hirers, there are additional restrictions. If you exceed your mileage allowance, you will be charged 20 Pence per mile + VAT.
