Car hire benefits and booking terms

What comes with a Eastleigh car hire enquiry

The booking team confirms the important details up front, including availability, driver rules, mileage, delivery and any specialist vehicle requirements.

Read the booking terms

Free Delivery & Collection

At an approved Eastleigh home or workplace, the vehicle can be delivered and collected free.

Approval depends on the exact address, stopping space, time and vehicle. Stations, airports and ports are outside standard delivery and collection, as is an empty property where the customer is not registered. Failed, amended or specialist visits may cost extra.

Unlimited Mileage

An eligible car hire booking includes unlimited rental mileage within the current fair-use policy.

Company rentals are generally limited to 2,800 miles per 28 days, or pro rata for shorter or longer hires. Courier use is prohibited. Other delivery-service or higher-mileage work must be declared and separately accepted in writing; excess-mile charges can apply.

UK Mainland Coverage

UK mainland car hire coverage can be checked for eligible postcodes, dates and vehicle supply.

Confirm the journey postcodes, dates, vehicle class and intended use before relying on supply. Island locations and other non-mainland routes are assessed separately.

European Cover

The team can arrange European use for an eligible vehicle once permission, insurance and breakdown protection are accepted.

European travel needs the approved countries, paperwork, costs, deposit and vehicle conditions recorded in advance. A European one-way rental is not available because one-way hire is restricted to UK mainland postcodes.

One-Way Rental

An approved one-way booking can finish at a different eligible UK mainland address.

Confirm the two postcodes, route, vehicle and one-way charge before booking. European one-way journeys are not offered.

Comprehensive Insurance Included

Comprehensive insurance is normally included for eligible named drivers on vehicles up to and including 7.5 tonnes.

Driver eligibility and an insurance excess apply. Goods carried in the vehicle and damage involving overhead height, tyres, the windscreen or flood are excluded; check every policy term in the quotation.

10% Off With Approved Company Own Insurance

Approved comprehensive company insurance gives eligible bookings a 10% hire-rate reduction.

The comprehensive policy and insurance certificate must be accepted before handover. The customer is responsible for registering the supplied vehicle on the Motor Insurance Database throughout the hire.

Wide Range Available

The representative car hire selection covers several classes for different loads, passenger needs and journeys.

Vehicle images and names illustrate representative categories. Ask the team to verify the make, model, body, transmission, fitted equipment and specification before hire.
