How hire works

Two ways to hire

Choose whichever suits you — a fixed hire for set dates, or our flexible rolling contract with no fixed end date. Both start from a 30-day minimum, with unlimited mileage and a zero-deposit option.

Fixed term

Know your dates

Perfect if you're here for a set period — a holiday, a season or a specific trip. Choose your start and end date and that's your hire: simple, defined, no surprises.

  • Set start & end date, agreed up front
  • Ideal for holidays & fixed-length stays
★ Most popular
Open-ended · 30-day rolling

Keep it as long as you like

Not sure how long you'll need it? This is what most people choose. Your car rolls on a 30-day contract for as long as you want it — and when you're ready to hand it back, you simply give us 14 days' notice.

  • Rolling 30-day contract — no fixed end date
  • Keep the car for as long as you like
  • Just 14 days' notice to return it
