Your security deposit DOES NOT have to be paid with the same card you booked on. This can be paid with either credit or debit card (under NO circumstances can this be paid in cash) This payment must be made at the time of collection, if you are unable to do so the hire of the vehicle will not commence. The excess deposit is fully refundable upon return of the vehicle without damage. Booking Deposit When booking online and selecting the ‘offline payment’ option you will receive instructions on how to pay via bank transfer. If the 50% deposit for the booking is not received within 48 hours of you making the booking, the booking will then be forfeited and cancelled and the dates released back out.

If travelling into another country within the UK or EU you must check local and national restrictions beforehand.
