In the event of a cancellation any deposit paid would be forfeited, however, in exceptional circumstances deposits may be refunded at the discretion of the company.

Company Liability

While the company’s vehicles are fully insured for passenger and third party claims under British law and public liability insurance, no responsibility can be accepted for lost, stolen or damaged items belonging to the hirer.

No responsibility will be accepted by the company for adverse weather, traffic conditions or fuel shortages, which may cause delay or cancellation of a booking, by the company.

In the event of unforeseen delays the company will endeavour to contact the hirer by telephone.

Whilst every effort is made by the company to maintain the roadworthiness of the vehicles, no responsibility can be accepted for breakdown either prior or during the hire, however caused.  In the unlikely event that breakdown occurs every effort will be made to provide a comparable vehicle, the costs of which will be met by the company.  Alternatively, a full refund to the value of the hire will be given.

The hirer shall be fully responsible and liable for any damage caused both to the interior and exterior of the vehicle by the hirer or any member of their party.

The hirer agrees to be liable for the retail cost of repairs, replacement of missing items and/or valeting charges.

Policies

Smoking, the consumption of food, drinks or drugs is not permitted within the vehicle.

Breakdown Terms & Conditions

Our fleet is serviced and maintained to a very high standard, however, by their very nature sportscars can be a little temperamental at times.  The entire fleet is covered by a comprehensive breakdown and recovery service - for self-drive hire vehicles the contact number is on a card given to you at the handover.  In the event of a breakdown we suggest you call us first for advice, otherwise call the breakdown service.

For chauffeured hires we will endeavour to supply another vehicle of a comparable nature.  We understand that there may be some disappointment which is why we will do our utmost to ensure that you are satisfied.
