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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Pack the trip on paper first: people, bags and anything children need on the way.
Note the day and hour you'd like to start and finish, bearing in mind nothing is fixed until we confirm it.
List each person who may take the wheel so we can explain the licence information we'll ask for.
Count child seats and bulky bags alongside passengers. Explain what needs to fit at the same time, not just the number of seats on a vehicle listing.
Propose a Woodley address for the handover; we agree it with you, and business handovers aren't arranged at stations, airports or ports.
Woodley car hire journey notes
Use the exact Woodley address and current access instructions. If the journey continues towards Sonning, Charvil, Winnersh, 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 Woodley 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.
The Museum of Berkshire Aviation sits on Mohawk Way, off Bader Way, with exhibits including a Fairey Gannet and a Handley Page Herald. It's a short drive for anyone with a hire car and an interest in flight; look at the museum's directions and current visitor details before setting off.
