Located within the heart of Newbury, our team of car hire specialists is your go-to source when you require only the most modern and reliable selection of vehicles. All units are maintained to the highest of standards and regular safety checks are carried out to ensure a smooth driving experience. However, we also appreciate the fact that value and transparency should enjoy a hand-in-hand relationship. There are no hidden fees associated with Newbury Vehicle Hire and you can always expect competitive prices. Still, you might not be entirely certain about the details of our services. How does car hire work? What can you expect throughout the process? Let us take a look at these and other questions so you can properly prepare for any upcoming trips in a hired vehicle.

What is the Purpose of the Vehicle in Question?

This is arguably the most important point to address, as Newbury Vehicle Hire provides a wide array of options including:

  • Vans
  • Tippers
  • Trucks
  • Minibuses
  • Cars of various sizes

It is therefore wise to consider factors such as the size of the car, how many people will be seated, whether you require extra space for luggage, and the length of the contract. These basics will come in handy, as they provide the insight and clarity required to make an informed rental decision.

How Does Car Hire Work? Forms of Identification and Insurance

It is just as important to possess a full UK driving licence (either a photo card or the paper-style licences that were previously issued). In the event that you only bring a paper licence, we will require another form of identification with a recent photograph. Those with a foreign licence will need to present their licence with an additional form of ID (such as a valid passport). Please note that those who are residing in the United Kingdom can only use their foreign licence for a total of 12 months before they will be required to apply for domestic documentation.

We will also require your National Insurance number in order to perform an online DVLA check as well as a recent utility bill. These are all necessary to confirm your identity as well as to expedite the entire car hire process.

Age Considerations

All applicants need to be at least 25 years of range to utilise the services of Newbury Car Hire. The only exception to this rule is in the event that you wish to rent our executive rage. You will need to be at least 30 years old in this case. Anyone older than the age of 70 might also be subject to additional stipulations. As always, a customer service representative is always happy to provide further assistance when required.

Car Hire Explained: What About Travelling Abroad?

Are you planning a holiday in mainland Europe in the near future or might you need to travel to a foreign country for business purposes? If so, Newbury Vehicle Hire is on your side. In these instances, you will need to obtain prior consent from our firm and additional surcharges may apply.

Important Payment Details

We kindly ask that you make the full payment at the time of the initial booking. If you happen to require any type of rental extension, we would prefer that you contact one of our specialists in advance. This will help to streamline the booking process and to ensure that no unexpected delays occur along the way.

How to Begin the Booking Process

You can employ the use of our handy online booking form to obtain an accurate quotation or you can choose to give us a call at 01635 44519. It is also possible to email a team member at sales@newburyvehiclehire.com. In either of these situations, we will contact you promptly to confirm that the reservation has been made in good order.

What Will the Quote Cover?

Assuming that there are no specific requests or addenda, your quote will cover the following variables:

  • The initial price of the vehicle rental including VAT
  • Insurance for a single driver
  • Breakdown cover throughout the United Kingdom
  • The ability to drive for up to 200 miles within any 24-hour period.

Please note that you will be charged an additional 0.12p in the event that you exceed the 200-mile limitation.
