Your Vehicle
Your hire car will run on either diesel or petrol. Or if it's a hybrid, petrol and electricity. It depends which model you choose. But always remember to refill your car with the right type of fuel. If you're in doubt, check your rental paperwork for the fuel type or call your hire station whose number is listed on your rental agreement.

When a traffic offence occurs, we are notified by the relevant authorities as the registered owner of the vehicle in order to identify the driver of the vehicle. Whenever possible, liability is transferred to the driver of the vehicle at the time of the offence and the authorities re-issue the Penalty/Parking Charge Notice to the driver. We charge an administration fee to cover our costs involved in this process. Following a liability transfer, the authorities contact the driver directly by post with the re-issued fine. Rest assured, the dates of fine payment are updated so that the driver is not affected by the time taken to transfer liability. In some circumstances, liability cannot be transferred and the fine is paid on your behalf by us. The lowest possible fine amount is paid and is charged directly to the customer. Please note, to dispute an offence, the authorities must be contacted directly. Details of the dispute process and all contact details for the authority will be detailed on the re-issued penalty charge notice that you will receive.

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.
We offer theft protection with all our hire vehicles to assist in the event of all or part of your hire vehicle being stolen. The amount you pay depends on the vehicle you hire and where you hire it from. We offer a number of coverage packages
