Booking
How do I book a car?
Search your dates, choose a car and follow the steps: sign in, add your licence details, sign your hire agreement and pay your deposits. See every step.
Do I need an account to book?
Yes. Your account holds your details, your licence, your hire agreement and your payments, so you can see everything about your booking in one place.
Is the car held while I book?
Yes. Once you start booking, the car is held for you for 60 minutes. If you don't finish in that time, the hold lapses and the dates become free again.
When is my booking confirmed?
After you've paid your deposits, our team checks your licence with the DVLA. Once it's approved, we confirm your booking and let you know.
Drivers and licences
What's the minimum age?
It depends on the car. When you enter the main driver's age on a car's page, we'll tell you straight away if that car can be hired at that age.
Is there a young driver surcharge?
Drivers under our young driver age pay a daily surcharge. It's included in the price once you enter the driver's age, so there's nothing added later.
What licence do I need?
A full photocard driving licence that's valid for the whole of your hire. You'll upload a photo of it and enter its number and expiry date when you book.
What's a DVLA check code and how do I get one?
It lets us check your licence details and any endorsements with the DVLA. You can get one free on GOV.UK. A code lasts 21 days, so get it close to your booking.
Can I add another driver?
Yes. Additional drivers need to meet the same licence and age requirements. Get in touch and we'll add them to your booking.
Prices and payments
What's included in the price?
The price you see covers the hire for your dates, any young driver surcharge and any promo code you've applied. Extras, if you add them, are shown separately.
How much do I pay when I book?
50% of the hire price, plus the security deposit. The remaining balance is due before you collect the car.
What is the security deposit?
A fixed amount for each car, shown with your price. It's refunded after the car is returned and inspected. If there's damage, part or all of it may be kept to cover the cost.
How do I pay the balance?
From your account any time before collection, or when you collect the car. The car can't go out until the balance is paid.
Do you accept promo codes?
Yes. Enter your code when you get your price and the discount is applied to the hire charge.
Changes and cancellations
Can I change my booking?
Yes. Ask for a change, such as new dates, an extension or an extra driver, and our team will check availability and confirm it with you.
How do I cancel?
Contact us and we'll handle it. Refunds depend on our cancellation terms, set out in our terms and conditions.
What if my licence check isn't approved?
We'll keep your booking on hold and get in touch to sort it out with you.
Collection and return
What happens when I collect the car?
We inspect the car with you and record its condition, you sign to confirm it, and we hand over the keys.
What happens when I return it?
We inspect it together again. If everything's in order, your security deposit is refunded.
What if I need to return the car early or late?
Let us know as soon as you can. Early returns are reviewed by our team, and late returns may be charged as set out in your hire agreement.
