Booking & Cancellation
We charge a non-refundable £100 Booking Fee for bookings under £500 - for those over £500 our standard booking fee is £200. Cancellations made 30 to 60 days prior to hire date receive a 50% refund of hire charge. Those made 15 - 29 days prior to hire date receive a 25% refund of hire charge. Unfortunatley, we cannot offer any refunds for cancellations made within 14 days of the hire date.
Excess Deposit
Our deposit scheme, as per the current tariffs, acts fourfold:
- As a security bond
- As payment towards any mechanical damage which is not covered by our Insurers, eg, tyres, wheels, clutch, gearbox sustained during the hire period, excluding normal wear and tear, due to misuse and abuse.
- As an insurance excess against any accidental damage or loss caused to the vehicle by a third party or the hirer. The hirer is liable for the amount shown as Excess Deposit. Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is available to reduce this. Please see below.
- Additional charges incurred during hire for excess mileage and, or, petrol reimbursement charges.
Liability
Bespokes liability is limited to a refund of the hire charge. No consequential loss liability will be covered.
Collision Damage Waiver
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) reduces your liability against accidental damage to the car, including theft and vandalism, regardless of who is at fault. At a nominal extra charge CDW is now available and if accepted, the liability will reduce as detailed below. This facility is restricted to UK Driving Licence holders only and is not available for one-day hire contracts, when travelling abroad, or any cars subject to a deposit higher than £1000.
| Original Deposit £500 | Reduces to £175 on payment of additional CDW at £50/weekend or £100/week +VAT.
| | Original Deposit £1000 | Reduces to £300 on payment of additional CDW at £75/weekend or £150/week + VAT. |
Use of Vehicle
The hirer may use the vehicle for the purpose of their business and for social domestic and pleasure purposes. The vehicles may not be used for any purposes for which they are not expressly designed. Further, the hirer will not use or permit the vehicles to be used for hire, driving tuition, towing, racing or pace-making, or for competing in any rally, or any other form of motor sport, track days, or for any illegal purpose whatsoever.
Petrol
You will be provided with a full tank of petrol and the vehicle must be returned with a full tank. If, however, this is not the case any reimbursement for petrol will be charged at the pump price, plus £25 + VAT administration charge.
Overseas Travel
Please note most of our cars may be taken out of the UK. Ireland (Eire) is not part of the UK. Prior notification is required so that overseas insurance and AA Cover can be arranged. There will be an additional charge for this, and the excess Deposit will be doubled.
Mileage Allowance
The mileage allowance is 150 miles a single day, 225 miles for 2 days, 300 miles for 3 days and weekends, and 700 miles per 7 day week. Excess mileage is as per the current Tariff.
Delivery
Delivery can be arranged throughout the UK, at an additional nominal charge. Please see our Vehicle Collection calculator for the tariff, or call us for an accurate quote.
Availability
All cars are offered subject to availability.
Prices
Prices are subject to change without prior notice, however once a car has been booked and a deposit received, we will not alter the price for that hire. All rentals are subject to Bespokes additional Terms and Conditions on the reverse of the Hire Agreement and all drivers are subject to approval by Bespokes and the company's insurers.
