Car hire

What car?

Inclusive car hire will provide you with complete freedom and flexibility to explore your chosen destination. Car hire is included in the holiday cost and is allocated according to party size.

We do recommend you consider the amount of luggage you will be taking to ensure that the allocated car/s is/are suitable for your needs. The inclusive car is a Group B, with 4 doors and air conditioning whenever possible.

  • 1 - 4 guests 1 x 5 seater car
  • 5 - 8 guests 2 x 5 seater cars
  • 9 - 12 guests 3 x 5 seater cars

Please note that we do not count infants as part of the total party size, when allocating the size of car included in the holiday price.

Included in the price; Unlimited mileage, Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), Third Party Insurance, Fire and Theft Protection, Local taxes and Airport fees, Breakdown Assistance

Not included in the price; Petrol, insurance excess for Collision Damage Waiver, Personal Accident Insurance, special request items (e.g. infant seats, child seats, booster seats, additional drivers charge, young drivers charge), out of hours charges, extra day charges, garaging, parking and traffic fines.

Car hire collection & drop off

Cars are collected from and returned back to the airport.  Delivery/collection to/from the accommodation may be possible but a charge will apply.

Please note that you will be asked to leave a deposit and an imprint of your credit or debit card on arrival at the airport when you collect your hire car. The deposit usually amounts to a full tank of petrol and the insurance excess. This amount will be held on your card and provided you return your hire car with a full tank of petrol and the car has not been damaged, no charges will be made to your card. 

Drivers must produce a valid British driving licence that has been held for at least one year. Drivers holding non-British licences should contact us prior to pick-up. Please be aware if you have a photo card licence, you may also be asked to produce the paper documents that accompany the photo card.

We must be advised of any endorsements at the time of booking so that we can advise the car hire company. All persons driving the vehicle must be in possession of their driving licence at all times for inspection by the local authorities. 

On collecting your car you'll receive a rental agreement.  Prior to taking the vehicle, we ask you to check the exterior and interior of the vehicle and before signing the agreement ensure you are happy with the information noted. Please note we cannot guarantee the exact model of vehicle you will receive. As fleets of vehicles can vary from country to country we can only advise of the vehicle equivalent you will be issued.  

Car Hire Upgrades

The cars we have included offer reasonably comfortable seating for the size of party travelling. For a small supplement you may wish to upgrade your car to give you extra comfort and space for your luggage.

Explanation of terms

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)

This covers you for damage sustained in an accident unless you deliberately cause the damage, are under the influence or drink or drugs, or use the vehicle in a prohibited way (e.g for hire).  In addition if you commit a driving offence or drive negligently, or the local suppliers of the car decide you are at fault, you may not receive a replacement vehicle.  Please note that CDW does not cover you for damage to the tyres, windscreen or undercarriage so please drive with care.  

Super CDW/ Pack Protection Plus
You will be offered the opportunity to take extra insurance called Super CDW/Pack Protection plus.  This policy is charged at a daily rate and protects the excess on the car in the event of damage.  By paying this amount the excess is either dramatically reduced or becomes zero.  However,  please note that it does not always cover you for damage to the tyres, windscreen or undercarriage so please drive with care.   

Theft Waiver
This reduces your liability in the event of theft, damage caused due to theft or attempted theft of the vehicle to an excess amount where applicable.  Negligence connected with the theft of the vehicle may lead to the car hire company requiring the cost of the vehicle.

Personal Accident Insurance
This optional insurance may be covered by your holiday insurance (please check your policy before you travel).  If you require PAI it can be purchased locally on collection of the car.

Provision of cars
The car hire company can refuse a vehicle to anyone considered unfit or ineligible to drive. In these circumstances we will not be held responsible for the completion of your travel arrangements, for any refunds, compensation or any other costs you may have to pay. No refunds will be given for rentals rejected if you do not have your licence or if you have not disclosed endorsements.

Mechanical difficulties
In the case of breakdown or mechanical difficulties, you must call the car hire company immediately, using the telephone number which appears on the rental agreement. The local car hire company must give authority for repairs or replacement cars. If you are involved in an accident, the local police and car hire company must be contacted. Keep copies of all relevant documentation you are asked to complete. This may be needed if you wish to make an insurance claim. 

Finally, we are brokers for the car hire companies. All rentals are subject to the car hire company’s own terms and conditions and the laws of the country where the rental takes place.
