Passenger, luggage and journey details
Plan car hire in St Mary's Bay
A handful of decisions shape a car hire request into a straightforward arrangement.
Where the car starts and finishes
Give the home or work address where handover should happen, since delivery and collection apply at eligible addresses agreed for each booking.
Hire length and extensions
If the hire may run longer than first expected, raise a possible extension before the agreed period ends so the arrangement can be reviewed in time.
People and belongings counted apart
State how many people will travel, then list bags, pushchairs or equipment separately so the passenger count and the luggage can each be assessed on their own.
One awkward item
Describe any single bulky item, such as a set of golf clubs or a folding bike, with its rough shape and size rather than assuming a particular boot design will take it.

My own car is off the driveway for repairs, so can I get a temporary hire?
Yes, a short self-drive hire can stand in while your usual car is unavailable. Say how long the gap is likely to last, since an extension should be raised before the agreed period ends.
What information should I provide with my enquiry?
Give the number of people, a separate list of luggage or equipment, the handover address, the intended dates, and whether you would like an automatic. Any single awkward item is worth describing too.
