Prices
What it costs, and what is inside the figure.
One price, quoted in full before you pay, with the airport’s drop-off charge, the parking, the tolls and the fuel already in it. No per-mile meter, no airport surcharge at the end, nothing added at the kerb.

Hourly and day rates are starting rates in the same way the journey fares are: a night or a bank holiday is priced above them, and the form shows your own figure first. A day is priced below 8 separate hours, so a long day is cheaper bought as a day. Where a journey is so short that the hourly maths would take a car out of the yard at a loss, a floor applies: £38 for the standard and £60 for the xl.

Questions about the price
Why is the price on the page not always the price I am quoted?
The published figure is the lowest that journey is sold at — a weekday at a standard hour, between two representative postcodes, in the cheaper car. Your own addresses and your own hour are measured when you ask, so the quote can come out a little either side of it, and higher at a peak hour, at night or over Christmas.
Is there a surcharge for a night, a weekend or an airport?
There is no surcharge added at the end. Night and peak hours are priced into the figure you are quoted, and the airport’s own drop-off charge is a line inside it at exactly what the airport charged. What you see before you pay is what you pay.
What if the journey takes longer than expected?
A single journey is a fixed price and traffic is our problem, not yours. An hourly hire is charged for the hours you booked; if you keep the car longer on the day, the extra hours are charged at the same rate.
Do you charge for waiting?
An airport collection carries 60 free minutes after you land and every other collection 15. Beyond that, waiting is charged pro rata at that car’s own hourly rate — there is no separate waiting tariff.
