During July and August our rentals are for full weeks, based on a Friday afternoon collection and return the following Friday morning. At other times of the year you can rent by the night although there is a minimum rental charge of £200. Last minute bookings are sometimes available for earlier collections, or for later returns.

Collection is available from 3.00 pm on the first day of rental and return must be by 11.00am on the final day. Out of consideration for other customers please ensure you are back in good time. Unfortunately we have to apply a late return charge of £20 per hour because of the work load caused by delays.

Yes. We will spend as long as you need to make sure that you are really confident and happy with the controls and features of the California.

To meet insurance requirements every driver will be asked to produce both the photo ID and paper document of their UK driving licence together with two recent utility bills or credit card statements (dated within the last 3 months) showing the same names and addresses as the driving licences. Any driver who has not yet been issued with a photo card will be asked to produce a valid passport as well. Visitors from abroad must hold a current international driving permit or licence (Foreign licence holders may incur a small additional insurance premium charge).
