Hiring a self-drive car really adds to the enjoyment of your holiday．There are so many places of interest to visit, and if you enjoy seeing more than just the city center there’s no better way to explore than by car．

　　Condition of Hire

　　The shortest rental period at these specially low prices is three days．For prices for periods of one or two days you only see our representative at the hotel．

　　Car hire must be booked six weeks or more before arrival in London to guarantee a car．But if you have been unable to make a booking in advance, please see our representative at the hotel who may still be able to help you．

　　The car types on the sheet are examples of the types of cars in each price range, but a particular car cannot be guaranteed．

　　Upon delivery the driver(s)will be asked to sign the car hire company’s Conditions of Hire．

　　If you decide to hire a car, just fill in the Booking Form and return it to us．A booking fee of ￡12 as part of the car hire cost is required．

　　Should you be forced to cancel your car hire booking after payment in full(two weeks before date of hire), a cancellation charge of ￡12 will be made．
