How the Deposit Works:
- A £350 deposit is required at the time of vehicle pickup.
- The deposit may be held for up to 14 days after the rental ends to allow time for fines, penalties, or repair costs to be processed.

✅ Deposit Return Conditions:
- The car must be returned in the same condition inside and out, with no new damage, misuse, or excessive dirt.
- The fuel level must match the level at collection; otherwise a £25 + fuel charge applies.
- The vehicle must be returned on time – a 15-minute grace applies, then £10/hr up to 4 hrs, after which the full daily rate is charged.
- The renter is responsible for all PCNs, fines, tolls, ULEZ, congestion charges, and speeding tickets during the rental, plus a £25 admin fee per fine.
❗Important Notes:
- Deposit refunds may be held for up to 14 days after the rental ends to allow time for fines, penalties, or repair costs to be processed.
