Questions about my current rental
We understand you might get delayed, so we try to be flexible. If you're running late or need to extend your car rental, please make sure you contact us as soon as possible. Should you return the vehicle late – without notifying us or extending your hire – you may be subject to a late return fee. If you fail to extend the rental and you are more than 29 minutes late returning the vehicle, your rental will be extended and you will be charged an extra day's rental at current pay at location prices plus a late return processing fee for each day or part of a day until the vehicle is returned.
If you overrun past your agreed return date and time, you will incur a late return fee. If you still haven't returned the vehicle 24 hours later, then another late return fee will be applied. A late return fee will continue to be added every 24 hour period thereafter, until you return the vehicle to the rental station.
Depending on the country of rental, the daily late return fee will be (inclusive of VAT): £15.00/CHF 20.00/150.00 (DKR, NKR or SKR)/ Between €15 and €18.60 (country dependent) or the equivalent amount in local currency.

Unfortunately no, the name on the rental agreement, the "named" or "main" driver, must remain as it has been reserved. Should the main driver be unable to drive the vehicle or pick up the reservation, the rental must be cancelled and re-booked under the new designated name at current pay at location rates. Please note that for any cancelled reservations there may be cancellation fees as set out in our booking terms and conditions.
If the rental has already begun, you may wish to add an additional driver so that another individual can drive the vehicle, however the named driver cannot be changed.
If you cannot find your rental car keys, please first call our agents at the rental agency (listed on your rental documentation) and report the lost keys. Usually, we have a spare key for vehicles in a central storage location, which is then ordered for you by the agency.
Additionally, there may also be times when we need to have the rental car towed by a breakdown service if the keys cannot be secured otherwise.
You will be responsible for any loss or damage to the rental car keys. The amount of these costs depends on the country of rental. Costs resulting from loss of keys, such as towing service and replacement of the keys, must be paid by the customer.
Smoking is strictly prohibited inside all of our vehicles. If we believe that someone has smoked inside the car during the rental period, an additional charge will be applied to cover our added specialist cleaning costs.
If, on the other hand, at the beginning of your rental you notice a cigarette smell, please let the station know and we will provide you with a new vehicle.
The Congestion Charge zone covers central London. It spans Hyde Park in the west to Vauxhall in the south, Tower Hill in the east and Regent's Park in the north. You can find out exactly the areas it covers by viewing the

You are charged for each day (24 hours) you hire a vehicle. Whether you hire it for just two hours or 24 hours, you will be charged for the full day. Early Returns: If you return the vehicle and any optional extras early, you will lose the benefit of any special offers if you no longer meet their requirements. This may result in the rental costing you more. There is no refund for any unused days.

You pay for each day you hire a vehicle, which is based on a 24 hour rental period. If you return your hire vehicle within 24 hours, you'll still be charged for the full day. There's also no penalty for returning your vehicle up to 29 minutes late, but for returns after this time we're afraid you will be charged for another day as well as a late return fee. If you are going to be late or would like to extend your rental period, please call your hire station ahead of time to let us know.

Your rental contract, or rental agreement, is the most important document when renting a vehicle. This contains all of your personal information, selected products, quoted price, important information regarding your vehicle and rental locations, and many key terms and conditions. It is very important that you become familiar with your rental agreement for your understanding and safety. You will understand what you should be charged and when, as well as important rules for using one of our hired vehicles such as what to do if you've had an accident or who to call if your vehicle has broken down.
