ACCIDENTS & CLAIMS
If you have an accident, theft or any other situation which will result in an insurance claim it is your responsibility to get an police report number. You need to call the police who will issue you a report number which must be delivered to Autorent. Without this the insurance will not pay. This is a simple procedure but if you have any problems you are welcome to call the company who will happily assist. If there is loss to the car and you do not obtain a police report you will remain liable for the damage. The car documents include full contact numbers for the company.

DEPOSIT

Hotel deliveries , the collection details will be arranged with the rep when the car is delivered to you.

CAR TYPES
We invariably have the car that you request but due to damage and late returns we may occasionally have to offer you an alternative, similar or better car than the one you have requested. These circumstances are outside of our control and we would ask for your patience. We have never left a client stuck without a car.

The cars shown are the ones available at our internet prices.  We may be able to arrange other cars from companies within the group. They are likely to be more expensive but we are happy to give you a price for your special requirements.

CAR AGE
Our undertaking is to provide a clean and serviceable car. Cars are retired from our fleet on the basis of condition and not age. Whilst the majority of our cars are less than 3 years old we are unable to give any guarantee as to the ago of car which will be supplied to any one hire

AGE
Sorry but we cannot hire to drivers under 25

ROOF RACKS
Those cars shown with a RR can be fitted with roof racks. We do not fit roof racks to anything other than the Corsa. The lightweight construction of modern cars means they are easily damaged by roof racks. The client is responsible for that damage to the amount of their excess. To avoid having to charge clients for such damage we do not fit roof racks to other cars. This policy is in your interest. Please request at time of making a reservation as we do not have a stock at the airport. Please bring suitable cords or straps to secure your luggage,

BABY SEATS
We have conventional forward facing baby seats intended for children to approximately 3 years old and booster seats for children to approximately 5 years. If you have a particular requirement for your child we recommend that for peace of mind you bring your own child seat.
