Unfortunately not. All our vehicles are subject to a minimum 2 day rental charge.
On weekends we operate a minimum 3 day rental charge.

It varies from vehicle to vehicle, please check the individual minimum age requirement detailed on each vehicle page.

Maximum age is 70 across the fleet

With all our vehicles, if you dont quite meet the minimum age requirement, please contact us first and we can approach our insurers on a case by case basis for you. 

Unfortunately no. All drivers named on the rental agreement have to meet the minimum age requirement for the vehicle in question.

Yes! For all booking durations our delivery experts will drop your chosen vehicle to your specified destination and collect from the same place at the agreed end date/time.

Please enter your postcode when prompted and select your address from the drop down list.

The system will generate the delivery & collection quote that will be added to the rental fee at checkout. There is of course no charge should you choose to collect & return from/to any of our collection points.

We are in the hands of our insurance providers on this.

Our insurers have to be notified of client postcodes, they then input this data into their system that highlights crime stats for the area.

If an area has a record of substantial vehicle crime, they will not allow the vehicle to be delivered. I.e. they will not provide the cover.

You will be notified within 24hrs should our insurers be unable to provide cover. Should our insurance provider refuse cover, you will be issued a full refund immediately.

We accept all major credit cards including AMEX!

All the Tesla's listed on our platform include free unlimited supercharging. The only time there would be a fee due is if we are charged any idle fees by Tesla for customers who overstay at the Tesla Superchargers.

Simple answer is No. Once you have chosen your required extras and proceeded to checkout, the price quoted is the all inclusive price. All our quoted prices are inclusive of VAT and insurance. We don’t charge booking fees. The only other charge required is the excess pre-authorisation which varies depending on your chosen vehicle. This is a temporary hold on a specified amount against the available funds on your payment card. Please note - this is not an actual charged amount and no funds are taken.

This is a short-term hold of a pre-agreed amount against the available balance on your credit card. Please note - this is not an actual charged amount and no payments are charged.
Your credit card provider may present a pre-authorisation transaction as “pending”.
What are the implications of this?

1. Once your reservation has been confirmed and the booking fee has been paid, depending on your preferred method chosen to process the excess pre-authorisation during the booking stages, we will either wait until 24hrs before you start your rental before we call you on the telephone number you provided to process transaction or we will process this in person when you collect your vehicle. We will put a temporary pre-authorisation hold, this amount varies depending on your chosen vehicle against the available balance on your payment card. If the booking is less than 24hrs away, this temporary hold will be placed at the time of booking in person.
2. When you complete your rental and return the vehicle undamaged, the pre-authorisation funds will be released by your card issuer. 
3. Depending on your credit card provider, it can sometimes take up to 14 working days before this is reflected back into your credit card’s available balance. This is out of our control.

Please note – even though a pre-authorisation transaction is not a physical charge, it will briefly reduce the available balance on your credit card.

For Tesla's:

Most of our customers find it easier to simply use the superb free Tesla Supercharging network to get around and never need to think about overnight charging. We do however provide all the cables and adaptors you will ever need to charge in all types of scenarios. 

For all other EV's:

The worldwide network of fast chargers has come along leaps and bounds in the past few years. The majority of fast chargers are now simply plug & charge with the simple contactless tap of a your credit card to initiate the charge.

In short, Yes. As per our standard Terms of Business, we do not allow any smoking of any kind (including e-cigarettes/Vapes) in any of our vehicles at any times.
