Notes

1.  * From date of first registration. It is the age of the hired vehicle that determines the rate and no arguments of betterment can apply e.g. if claimants vehicle is, say, 5 years old and vehicle hired is 1 year old.

2.  No extra additions allowed such as for signage, radio hire, taxi display etc. but see FAQs (There are, however,additional costs that need to be met for some hires because ofdifferent Council costs for replating vehicles, fitting of different radio etc. These are actual costs that need to be paid).

3.  An additional £5 a day can be added for automatics (where this matches the customer’s vehicle) unless the model listed is an automatic.

4.  Vehicles with semi-shift gearboxes/ direct shift gearboxes where you can change gears either manually (eg by using paddles behind the steering wheel) or automatically, qualify for the £5 per day uplift for automatics.

5.  An additional £5 a day can be added for estate vehicles (where this matches the customer’s vehicle) unless the model listed is already an estate.

6.  An additional £5 a day can be added for necessary extras such as tow bars and baby seats which reflect the customer’s damaged vehicle type/fitments.
