Do you require my driving licence?
Yes, in order to proceed with your rental agreement you are required to produce a current valid UK Driver’s Licence detailing your address and showing that you are qualified to drive the vehicle that you intend to hire.
You will also need to obtain and present us with a valid licence code, which is you can get from https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence , which will authorise us to view your licence details online. To do this, simply enter your driving licence number, national insurance numbers and your postcode (which should match the postcode on your licence).
Identification:
Driver must present 2 additional forms of ID to confirm the licence holder and the home address. One ID must be the credit card/bank statement for the credit card/debit card being presented for the deposit and additional charges. The other should be a formal document (e.g., work ID card, passport). ID’s must be dated within 3 months of date of hire. A credit or debit card in their own name.

Some endorsements are acceptable subject to the terms and conditions and the limitations imposed by our insurers.
Can I Insure the vehicle myself?
Yes. If you wish to self-insure a car/van, please contact us and we will be able to provide a make model and registration for you. Before collection of the vehicle, we would need the insurance cover note, this must state the make, model, registration and dates and we would need to hold a copy of this on file.
Can I leave my car whilst hiring your vehicle?
Yes, provided we have sufficient parking available. Customers and visitors parking on our premises do so at their own risk.
