How Payments and Deposits Work

Simple and transparent rental costs

At Senior Car and Van Hire, we aim to make the payment process as straightforward as possible. A deposit is required to secure your booking, which will be refunded upon the safe return of the vehicle, provided all terms and conditions are met. Payments can be made online or in person, giving you flexibility and convenience.

Deposit Requirements

The deposit amount is determined by the type of vehicle you hire. For example, larger vehicles such as Luton vans or minibuses typically require a higher deposit due to their size and value, while smaller cars may have a lower deposit. This ensures fairness and reflects the level of responsibility associated with each vehicle type. Our team will provide you with the exact deposit amount during the booking process, so you’ll have all the information you need upfront.
