FAQs
Will the vehicle come with fuel in it?
Yes, your hire vehicle will be supplied to you with a full tank of fuel. You are therefore expected to return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel at the end of the rental period.
Do I need to arrange my own insurance?
No, we're pleased to say that insurance is included as standard.
Can I rent a car for a long time?
Rental agreements can be long-term. If this is what you're looking for, we'd recommend contacting Rent Direct to discuss your needs and obtain a bespoke price.
Can I take the vehicle abroad?
No - our vehicles are only to be used on the UK mainland, so you are prohibited from taking the vehicle abroad.
What wheelbase vans do you offer?
We offer short-, medium-, and long-wheelbase vans, as well as car-derived vans.
What happens if the car I'm hiring breaks down?
A breakdown is unlikely, as we keep our vehicles in tip-top condition, but in the event of the unexpected, you can rely on the breakdown cover included in your hire price.
