Car hire benefits and booking terms

What comes with a Newbury car hire enquiry

Read the booking terms

Free Delivery & Collection

Ask for the hire vehicle to be delivered to and collected from an eligible UK mainland home or workplace address.

The address, access, timing and vehicle must be confirmed. Stations, airports and ports are excluded from standard delivery, as are empty properties where the customer is not registered. Failed, changed or specialist arrangements can incur charges.

Unlimited Rental Mileage

Unlimited mileage is offered on eligible rentals within a 2,800-mile fair-use allowance per calendar month or 28-day period, or pro rata.

Excess miles are charged per mile plus VAT, and higher-mileage terms for company rentals can be arranged in advance. Unlimited mileage does not apply to courier use, which is prohibited.

Entire United Kingdom Coverage

Delivery and collection can be checked for eligible local and long-distance vehicle-hire requests across the UK mainland.

The exact postcode, requested vehicle and date must be checked. Islands and non-mainland movements can require separate arrangements.

European Cover Option

Eligible vehicles may be taken to approved European destinations when permission, insurance and breakdown cover are arranged before departure.

Charges, deposits, documents, vehicle restrictions and country rules apply. One-way hire is limited to UK mainland postcodes, so European one-way hire is not offered.

One Way Vehicle Rental

Selected vehicles can be requested for collection from a different eligible UK mainland location, avoiding an unnecessary return journey.

The start and finish postcodes, vehicle, route and one-way charge must be confirmed before booking. The service is not available for European one-way journeys.

Insurance Is Included

Comprehensive insurance is normally included for eligible named drivers on vehicles up to and including 7.5 tonnes, unless a different arrangement is requested and approved.

Driver approval, excess and exclusions apply. Goods in transit, overhead-height, tyre, windscreen and flood damage are excluded. 18, 26 and 44 tonne vehicles require customer insurance and applicable operator credentials.

Company Own Insurance - 10%

A 10% hire-rate reduction may apply when an acceptable company motor policy provides the required comprehensive cover for the hired vehicle and drivers.

The policy and certificate of insurance must be supplied and approved before delivery, and the customer is responsible for adding the supplied vehicle to the Motor Insurance Database for the hire period. Eligibility depends on the vehicle and proposed use.

Wide Range Available

Representative car, van, minibus and truck groups can be compared, with vehicle suitability and exact specification confirmed for the booking.

Images and model names describe representative classes. The exact make, model, transmission, body and specification are confirmed for the booking.

Passenger, luggage and journey details

Plan car hire in Newbury

Settling these points before you ring makes it easier to talk through the right car group.

When you need it

Note your preferred pick-up and return times; they stay provisional until the booking is confirmed.

Who might drive

List each person who may drive and keep their licence to hand so we can explain what's required.

People and bags

Tell us how many seats and how much boot space you're likely to use, and we'll point you towards a suitable size.

Handover address

Suggest a handover address for us to agree with you; for business hires, stations, airports and ports aren't used as handover points.

Newbury car hire journey notes

Routes and access for car hire in Newbury

Use the exact Newbury address and current access instructions. If the journey continues towards Speen, Greenham, Thatcham, treat those as separate destinations and identify the parking place or passenger stop required at each one. That distinction matters for station, family, business and replacement-car journeys from Newbury and passenger trips using the surrounding road network, because passengers, luggage, transmission preference and parking must be assessed at the real stopping point rather than inferred from a nearby place name.

West Berkshire Museum at The Wharf

West Berkshire Museum is at The Wharf in Newbury, with local-history displays housed in the seventeenth-century Cloth Hall and the former Granary/Corn Stores. It makes an easy addition to a day out in a hired car; look up current visitor details and plan your parking before you set off.

Victoria Park in the town centre

Victoria Park sits in the centre of Newbury and has a bandstand, a boating pond, tennis courts and play areas, so it can be a good place to break up a family outing.
