When booking at a prepaid rate, the payment will be charged along with the total rental price (incl. booked extras and charges) prior to the rental. The renter must be the owner of the indicated payment card. The named driver and the method of payment shall be finalised at the time of reservation and cannot be changed afterwards. The confirmed card should be valid and available for presentation on collection of the vehicle. All extra costs that occur during the car rental will be charged to this credit card. The maximum rental period for a booking at the prepaid rate is 27 days. A refund shall not be issued for non-collection, vehicle being collected late or returned early.
The booking may be changed up to one hour before the scheduled beginning of the rental period. There will be a rebooking fee of GBP 20.40 plus any difference between the original rate and the rate applicable to the adjusted rental period. A change from a prepaid rate to a non-prepaid rate is not possible.

Cancellation
A booking can be cancelled before the start of the rental. In the event of cancellation, the payment already made towards the rental will be paid back subject to a cancellation charge.

Insurance coverage for the vehicle rented includes Third Party Liability. This protection provides cover for claims made against you in the event of the death or injury to the other party in an accident (unlimited liability). It also provides cover for damage to their property (up to 5,000,000 GBP). The hirer, as the main driver, will be responsible for any costs in excess of this in relation to third party damage.
Excluded from the insurance is the use of the vehicle for the transport of dangerous goods. All protection as part of the rental contract will become void, in particular, if an unauthorized driver has used the vehicle or if the driver of the vehicle does not possess the required driver's licence at the time of the event giving rise to claim.
(Third Party Liability = TI)
Loss Damage Waiver removes the driver's responsibility to a part of the vehicle in case of damage or theft. Dependent upon your booking rate, the Loss Damage Waiver will either be included or will be available to include additionally.
