Easihire: A Guide to Hiring a Car

Hiring a car doesn’t have to be complicated! At Easihire, we’ve created this simple guide to help make your experience smooth from start to finish. Here you’ll find useful tips for before you book, picking up your vehicle, while you’re on the road, and returning your hire car.

Before You Book – Getting the Best Value

Booking your hire car with Easihire is quick, transparent, and stress-free. You can start your booking weeks or even months in advance by visiting our website or calling your local branch directly.

Understanding Your Insurance

Every Easihire rental comes with the essential insurance coverage you need to drive confidently.

However, please note:

You are responsible for an excess amount in the event of accidental damage.
This excess is temporarily held on your debit or credit card and released in full when the vehicle is returned in its original condition.
We also offer excess reduction options on all vehicles for extra peace of mind. Full details can be found on our website or explained by our friendly staff when booking.

Picking Up Your Hire Car – A Smooth Start

When you arrive at an Easihire branch, we’ll get you on the road as quickly as possible — but a few quick checks will ensure your experience stays hassle-free.

What to Bring

Please make sure you have:

2 Proofs of Address
Your Driving Licence (Card Licence)
DVLA Check Code (if you don’t have this, we can help you retrieve it at the branch — just bring your NI number)

Vehicle Inspection

Before driving away, take a few minutes to check the vehicle with a member of our team.
If you spot any dents or scratches not recorded on our system, let us know so we can note them immediately. We’ll email you a copy of the inspection for your records.

Before You Drive Off

If you’re not familiar with the car, don’t hesitate to ask our staff about:

Fuel type and how to open the cap
Lights and windscreen wipers
Tyre and spare wheel location
Emergency contact number (available 24/7)

During Your Hire – Peace of Mind on the Road

If something unexpected happens — such as a breakdown or locked-in keys — don’t worry.

Simply call our roadside assistance number, which is included in your hire agreement. If you don’t have it handy, contact your Easihire branch directly and we’ll help you right away.

Returning Your Hire Car – The Final Step

When it’s time to return your vehicle, a few small details can help you finish your hire smoothly.

Return on Time

Please return your car at the agreed time to avoid any late return fees or scheduling issues for the next customer.

Fuel Policy

We operate a like-for-like fuel policy — return the vehicle with the same fuel level as when collected.
If it’s lower, a £25 admin fee plus the cost of fuel will be charged to refill it.

Vehicle Check

Before handing back the keys:

Confirm with our staff that no new damage has been found.
Ensure the fuel level matches the original record.
We’ll provide confirmation on the spot so you can leave with confidence.
