Essential Information and Hire Requirements

At Senior Car and Van Hire, we aim to make the rental process as straightforward as possible. This page provides all the essential vehicle hire requirements you need to know before you collect your keys. If you want to know exactly how to rent a car or van without any delays, we have outlined the specific details below.

To ensure a safe and legal rental experience, we ask all our customers to meet the following criteria:

• Age Requirements: Drivers must be at least 21 years old to hire a vehicle from our fleet.
   
• Driving Licence: You must present a valid UK driving licence, along with a current DVLA check code to confirm your driving history.
   
• Proof of Address: We require two recent proofs of address, such as utility bills or bank statements dated within the last three months.

Understanding our standard policies helps you plan your trip better. Here is what you need to know about our daily operations:

• Insurance: All our rentals include basic insurance cover as standard. We also offer flexible options to upgrade for additional coverage and total peace of mind on the road.
   
• Deposits: We require a secure, fully refundable deposit at the time of your booking.
   
• Fuel Policy: We ask that you return your vehicle with the exact same fuel level as when you collected it. This prevents any unexpected refuelling charges.

With clear car rental policies and a strict customer-first approach, we make vehicle rental simple and completely stress-free. Our friendly team always explains the paperwork clearly, cutting out the confusing jargon so you can hit the road faster.
