Our multi-product rental system, introduced in 2019, helps you select the perfect vehicle for your travel needs and see the final rental price upfront.

When You Collect Your Vehicle – Plan Ahead
Plan ahead. We recommend planning your route before you leave, especially when renting a car at an airport. Are you sure where you're meeting your chaperone or where the rental desk is? Your confirmation email will have the contact information for the location, so we suggest saving the number in your phone ahead of time.
Have the correct documents ready. We try and keep the check in process as painless as possible but we do need to process certain information for legal reasons so having these ready ahead of time can help speed up the process. Make sure you have your booking details ready, along with your driving licence, passport and valid credit card.
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. If you don't report this, you may be liable for these damages when you return the vehicle. We don't want you to get caught out, so we've put together a handy vehicle inspection video to help you check everything thoroughly.
While You Rent – Drive Safely
While your rental car, van, or truck is in your care, you may be liable for any damage depending on your insurance coverage. Many minor damages occur in parking lots, so take care when parking. If space is limited, consider parking slightly farther and walking a few extra steps to your destination. Following local traffic rules and handling your rental carefully ensures a safe and worry-free journey.
When You Return Your Vehicle – Final Vehicle Check
Upon returning your rental, complete the Vehicle Condition Report (VCR) again and log any new damage, no matter how small. This ensures you are fully covered and allows our team to process your return efficiently. Pay particular attention to the same five damage hotspots to avoid any surprises.
