Car hire benefits and booking terms

What comes with a Hythe 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

For an approved Hythe home or workplace, vehicle delivery and collection are free.

The address, access, timing and vehicle must be accepted before handover. Standard service excludes stations, airports and ports, plus empty properties where the customer is not registered. Changed, unsuccessful or specialist visits can carry a charge.

Unlimited Mileage

Unlimited mileage is included with eligible car hire bookings under the current fair-use policy.

For company hire, fair use is generally 2,800 miles in 28 days and is adjusted pro rata for a different hire length. Courier use is prohibited. Other delivery-service or high-mileage work needs written acceptance, and excess mileage may be charged.

UK Mainland Vehicle Coverage

Vehicles can be delivered and collected across the UK mainland when the exact journey details and supply are confirmed.

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 Option

A qualifying hire can include approved European destinations after prior permission, insurance and breakdown cover.

Ask the team to confirm the permitted countries, documents, fees, deposit and vehicle limits. One-way bookings remain UK-mainland only, so the vehicle cannot be left in Europe.

One-Way Vehicle Hire

One-way hire can be requested between qualifying UK mainland addresses for selected vehicles.

A one-way booking is conditional on the two mainland addresses, route, vehicle and charge being confirmed. It cannot be used for a European one-way rental.

Comprehensive Insurance Included

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

Named drivers require approval and an excess remains payable. The policy excludes carried goods plus overhead-height, tyre, windscreen and flood damage, so read the complete insurance terms before booking.

Approved Company Own Insurance - Save 10%

The hire rate is reduced by 10% when an acceptable company policy comprehensively covers the vehicle and drivers.

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 of Vehicles Available

Compare multiple representative car hire categories before the booking team confirms a suitable group.

The pictured vehicles and named models represent groups and do not confirm the supplied vehicle. Check the actual make, model, body, gearbox, equipment and specification for the booking.
