  Conditions of hire  
What type of insurance is there?
In the majority of locations, the vehicles have Fully Comprehensive Insurance with no excess including unlimited civil liability, damage or accident to third parties (CDW), theft of the vehicle (TP) and personal accident insurance for the occupants of the rented vehicle.
However, the following things are never included in the insurance with any car rental company: tyres, wheels, damage to glass/windscreen, damage to the undercarriage, loss of keys, filling up the vehicle with the wrong type of fuel. (There may be further exclusions depending on the supplier. Please contact us when you have made a booking for further information).
The majority of our suppliers offer extra insurance to cover the things not included in the fully comprehensive insurance. Please note that any extra insurance is optional.
In some locations the insurance conditions may be different. Bookings made with Atesa, Europcar, Avis, Sixt, BK Rent and in the north are subject to an insurance excess. All information is provided on the rental voucher sent when the booking is confirmed.
Can I choose the model of the vehicle?
We are never able to confirm the make or model of the vehicle you will receive. In the event that the requested group is not available you will be given a vehicle from a higher group at no extra cost.
