Frequently Asked Questions
Can you supply electric vehicles?
We have a comprehensive selection of electric vehicles available. Currently, we only have electric cars available to hire.
Can you accommodate last-minute vehicle hire requests?
From Ceeds to Sorentos, we work hard to ensure we always have something available for last-minute hires. Whilst we will almost always be able to accommodate next-day collections, for on-the-day requests, get in touch with a friendly member of our team, and we will do our best to get your rental vehicle needs sorted sharpish.
Do you require a deposit to rent a vehicle?
We require a £200 deposit to secure your hire vehicle. We will refund this in full upon safe return of our vehicle, undamaged and with a full tank of fuel.
Do you have a minimum rental period?
Here at Rent Direct, we don't have a minimum rental period for renting a vehicle. However, the longer you hire the vehicle, the more competitive the price we can offer.
Is mileage restricted on car hire?
You will need to specify the mileage you expect to drive during your vehicle rental period. This will help us provide a more accurate and favourable quote for your hire agreement.
