When you collect your vehicle

Your confirmation email will have the contact information for the location, so we suggest saving the number in your phone ahead of time.

Complete a vehicle check. It's essential when you are taken to your car you complete a Vehicle Condition Report (VCR) and note any existing damage, paying particular attention to the five damage hotspots.
