* Hirer’s with a GB Driver’s Licence must also provide a “Licence Check Code”.

Can I take the vehicle out of the UK?

Yes, but you need to provide your own European breakdown cover. Additional charges apply. Please call us for more information.

Free roadside assistance is not included when taking the vehicle to locations off the UK Mainland. Customers will be liable for any recovery / roadside assistance costs incurred when the vehicle is taken off the UK Mainland.

Are there any restrictions to where can I drive the vehicle?

As per Section 34 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, when driving in the UK it is illegal to drive a motor vehicle on, common land, moorland, Forestry Commission land or any land that is not forming part of a road without authorisation. Please note, although we offer all-wheel terrain vehicles, our insurance does NOT cover off-road driving.

I cannot find my driving licence, can I still hire?

Yes, we will need a Government-issued ID (such as a passport, along with the ID stated above) and will need to contact the DVLA to check your licence details (there is a charge for this service)

Do I need a child seat for my rental vehicle?

Yes. The law requires all children travelling in the seat of any car, van or goods vehicle must use the correct child car seat until they are either 135 cm in height or 12 years old (whichever they reach first). If you do not have your own child/baby seat, we can hire one to you at the rental counter. The responsibility for ensuring children under the age of 12 years are restrained correctly, and the seat is fitted properly, rests with the driver of the rental vehicle.
