Just to let all you Students and Young Persons know, that there is actually a company out there that will hire out a car to you, but the following requirements apply :
- Age 18
- Full Category B (Car) Licence Held for 12 Months (Manual Gears)
- No or Minimal Motoring Convictions
and Yes, that's about it.
It works by a 'Help Yourself' service. Registering costs about £50 per year, and you just then pay the car hire fees each time you take a car out.
So many miles are free (included), and after a certain figure, you have to pay a small amount extra per a mile.
Insurance is ALL Covered by the company.
This Company are strict about maintainence etc. If they have to send an engineer out caused by Your error, then a fee of about £30 is payable.
I think it works by direct debit.
I have not used the company before, so can't yet reccomend it to anyone.
Cars : Citroen C1, C3, Xsara Picasso, Berlingo's etc
