Insurance 

The price of a vehicle hire rental is inclusive of VAT & insurance.

The excess/liability is £500 for all vehicles. This is not paid in advance; it is only taken in the event of an accident or damage during the period of hire. You may, if you wish, waiver this excess, at the branch, at a cost of £10 per day or £50 per week when you collect the vehicle.

Our vehicles are not insured for use in Northern Ireland, Eire and mainland Europe. Insurance is valid for all of Scotland includding all the islands as well as England and Wales.

Our Insurance Covers

• Third Party Liability unlimited (including passengers in hired vehicle)
• Full repairs to rental vehicle (excluding excess)

Please note:

• Cover would default if the necessary security precautions were not implemented i.e. if the keys were left in the ignition or the radio front was left in the vehicle.
• We reserve the right to increase the excess with each incident.
• The standard excess is £500, however, a higher excess may be applied in certain circumstances.

Our Insurance Does Not Cover

• Theft of property within the vehicle
• Drivers of hired vehicle's personal injury or loss of life (own insurance would have to cover this).
