Q. I have heard horror stories regarding rental companies charging for damage at a later time after my rental has finished.
A. We offer two very basic and very important rules to avoid this EVER:-
a) Walk around the car and check for damage when you collect the car.
b) Upon return, insist on the car being checked whilst you are present.
This will avoid mistakes ever happening, always take the name and/or get a signature on your rental agreement.
All damage should be noted on your rental agreement if it is not YOU could be held accountable at the end of the rental. Two minutes at the start of any rental WILL prevent this ever happening.

Q. Can I drive on my USA (or foreign driving licence)

A. Yes provided you have not been in residence in the UK for more than 12 months (after 12 months the law states you must exchange your licence for a UK licence.)

Q. Do you hire cars have a CD player
A. Most hire cars from the "C" group and upwards are fitted with a CD Player as standard but this cannot be guaranteed
