FAQs

Will the vehicle come with fuel in it? 

Yes, your hire vehicle will be supplied to you with a full tank of fuel. You are therefore expected to return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel at the end of the rental period. 

Do I need to arrange my own insurance? 

No, we’re pleased to say that insurance is included as standard.

Can I rent a car or van for a long time?

Rental agreements can be on a long-term basis. If this is what you’re looking for, we’d recommend contacting Rent Direct to talk through what you need and to obtain a bespoke price. 

Can I take the car or van abroad?

No - our vehicles are only to be used on the UK mainland, so you are prohibited from taking the vehicle abroad. 

What wheelbase vans do you offer? 

We offer short, medium, and long wheelbase vans, as well as car-derived vans. 

What happens if the car or van I’m hiring breaks down? 

A breakdown is unlikely, as we keep our vehicles in tip top condition, but in the event of the unexpected, you can rely on the breakdown cover included in your hire price.
