Rental Duration

When calculating the number of days a vehicle is rented, the day of pick-up is counted as day one of the rental, regardless of pick-up time. The day of the vehicle's return is counted as the final day of the rental. When a rental moves from one rate season into the next, the calculation is based on both rates.
Minimum rental period is 10 days. Special rates are available for rentals of more than 21 days. Details available on application. Late pick up or early return of vehicle does not entitle the hirer to any refund of the unused portion of the rental.

License

A full resident country drivers licence, held for at least one year, is to be presented at the time of rental. If the licence is not in English format, an international drivers licence is also required.

Age Restrictions

Drivers must be 21 years of age or over. A medical certificate stating that the customer is fit to drive the vehicle they have booked for the duration of the hire is required for drivers over the age of 75.
