Frequently asked questions

Once you have hired from us and all went well from both sides, you get added to a very exclusive list. Being on this list means you will get weekly last minute email offers. In off peak season some of our clients enjoy monthly deals at massively discounted prices based on mileage rather than number of days. We have a partnership with the UK’s leading hospitality company, so have access to F1 tickets, Salon Prive, exclusive driving tours, car manufacturers tours, hotel packages and so on.

• All cars we own or manage are physical and can be viewed by appointment. Every picture of every car on our website is the car you will hire. All our cars are less than 4 years old and under manufacturers warranty (excluding the ‘Classic’ range).
• We have been with the same insurer since 2003 and can supply proof of our Commercial Self Drive Hire Insurance Policy if required.
• You only ever deal with us from start to finish. Our car, our contract, our insurance, our staff.
• Even if something happens to the car you have booked, you have the peace of mind we will try and replace the car like for like, if not something of similar spec. You will never get this through a broker.
• All cars will be presented to you fully valeted and in mint condition.
• Most of our drivers have been with us for over 10 years. They are always early, so not to be late for an agreed delivery / collection time. They know each car like the back of their hand, so you get proper handovers to explain ALL the controls and what to look out for in terms of areas that can be easily damaged i.e. carbon fibre front splitters on an Aston!
• Complete transparency with security deposits / insurance excess. The most common repair costs are always highlighted on our contracts e.g. alloy wheels, bumpers, wing mirrors, door edges etc, so you know beforehand what things will cost to repair if you do damage the car. Unfortunately, the ‘not so good’ companies out there are the ones to watch in terms of withholding deposits for minor damage costs, so make sure you check that ALL damage is marked down correctly on the contract before signing it. You will be liable for any damage missed we can assure you of that!
• If in doubt, you can always get free impartial advice from us! AND REMEMBER, hiring a Supercar should be an amazing once in a lifetime experience! Is it worth cutting corners and going with a cheap quote? You do really get what you pay for. Can you really risk your dream turning into a nightmare choosing the wrong company? And unfortunately, its only when problems occur e.g. the car doesn’t turn up, it breaks down, you get the excuse its been ‘crashed’ the day before your hire, you get stopped by the Police for no insurance, you lose your deposit for kerbing an alloy wheel do the pitfalls reveal themselves…and by then though its too late!

No. Fuel is not included. You should return the car to us with the same amount of fuel when the hire started to avoid being charged.

Increasingly over the last couple of years there has been a growth in companies who look like they have cars to hire out, but in reality don’t have any. They just broker other company’s cars and take a fee. Ultimately, you don’t know who is actually supplying the car, is it insured properly etc. They will pass your details and card information to a 3rd party. You will know this when 2 x payments come off the card, one for the broker and one for the 3rd party supplier. Is it worth the risk?

100 miles are included per day then its chargeable based on a cost per mile basis. This varies per car.

This varies depending on which car you choose. Click ‘Get a Quote’ button on the car you want and this information will be displayed on the quote page. You can pre-pay (before the hire takes place) for extra mileage at a discount of 30%. Pre-paid mileage is non refundable if not used. If you are looking at a lot of extra miles i.e. 300+, then we can normally package up a deal. Please contact us for more information.

Yes we do. We can deliver cars all over the UK, Europe and internationally. All main UK airports, train stations, cities, hotels, home address, work address, churches, you name it we will deliver your car there.

There are a limited number of cars that are available to drive if you have held a UK driving licence for less than 5 years. More the ‘Sports Cars’ rather than Supercars. Please contact our team if in doubt and we can check what you can hire.

Yes you can. We have clients from all over the world. International licences accepted as well as country of issue ones.

Yes, however we need to refer this to our insurance company first and ultimately it’s their decision.

Normally, short term parking. Each airport is different, but you will be supplied with our drivers mobile number before you travel. As soon as you land, ring the driver and make a plan from there.

We can authorise up to 2 x 3 points. Anything outside of this we have to refer to our insurance company for them to decide. It really is a case by case basis, but we have had bans within 5 years accepted as well as 12 points, so if in doubt please contact the team for more information.

Only from talking to some of our clients who have experienced a Supercar Club, self drive hire is the better option. You get the car you want on the dates you want it. This seems to be the biggest drawback with clubs (excluding the £20k up front payment). The clients who have migrated back to us, now just give us a list of the cars they want throughout the year and because they are booking multiple cars, we can easily beat the cost of joining a club. Before joining any club please call the team to discuss your requirements. We are more than happy to try and beat any club’s annual membership fee.

We do offer this service at very competitive rates. It does depend on dates i.e. more likely to be able to do long term hires from November to April, than peak season summer months. (This is purely down to lack of availability of cars more than anything). Please ring our team for more information.

No. We do not offer a Collision Damage Waver (CDW). Important note – beware there are companies in the UK that do offer this, but you have to question why this do this? They are just gambling with an insurance excess, as it would be them footing the bill with the insurance company if you had to claim. The good supercar hire companies operating in the UK are the ones that don’t offer CDW.

If you are based around a maximum of 50-100 miles away from us in St Albans and you are willing to collect from us, then we have a range of pick up deals which are between 20-30% cheaper than our normal rates and include an extra 100 miles free of charge, which can be worth up to a £600+vat saving. We also have free secure parking for your car if required. Click the ‘Latest Deals’ link at the top of the website for more information.

We certainly do. The more cars you hire, the greater the discount. It’s best to ring the team to discuss your requirements.

We offer both self drive hire vehicles and chauffeured vehicles. They are completely separate fleets.

The minimum hire period is 24hrs. Weekend hire is a minimum 3 days in peak season (April to October). We can do 1 day / 24hr hires on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday only. If its on a Thursday then it would have to be Thursday morning to Friday morning.

Yes. Every single car picture on our website is the actual car you would have.

Probably around 30% of our clients are booking as a surprise for their partner, so we are really experienced at managing this process. We only ever communicate via email or phone. Nothing is ever posted. The key is knowing where your partners driving licence, passport, 2 x proof of home address and National Insurance number are. If you do know, we have a good shot at keeping it a surprise!

Yes, all our cars come with fully comprehensive insurance for one driver and is included in our price.

• Under 25? – It is impossible to get insurance if you are aged under 25. It’s not us, it’s our insurers.
