Group travel support and essential checks
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.
Build the passenger and meeting-point plan
Groups need a little more planning than a solo trip, so gather these points first.
Whoever drives must hold the right entitlement for a minibus, and we'll explain which licence details to have ready; a driver isn't supplied.
Confirm how many people are travelling, including anyone who might join late.
Sports kit, cases and pushchairs take room too, so mention them to make sure there's enough space.
Put forward a convenient address for the handover; business handovers can't be at stations, airports or ports.
