You will need to provide us with:

  • Your driving licence

  • A credit card to pay for your hire
  • Any additional drivers will need to produce the same documents and information as the principle renter.

The minimum age for hiring a vehicle is 23 years old, and you must have held a full driving licence for at least two years. Age restrictions may apply to certain vehicle groups.

  •     There is an additional daily charge of  100% increase in the insurance premium.

You can have as many additional drivers that you require. There is a charge for each additional driver, and these charges are applied on a daily basis. Each category of vehicle has slightly different rates and these rates start from £5.06 + VAT a day.


All vehicles are provided with a full tank of fuel. It is your responsibility upon returning the vehicle to ensure the tank is full of the correct fuel. Otherwise we will fill the tank up to full and charge accordingly. Please note this cost is greater than standard forecourt prices. We do not store fuel on our premises.

You can, but we MUST know if you are planning on taking any vehicle outside of the UK.  We will need to provide documentation permitting you to take our vehicle and if you fail to state that the vehicle is going abroad and you do not have the correct documentation you will run the risk of having the vehicle impounded and any goods in that vehicle.ALL of these charges will be your responsibility and NOT of Longmarsh. Our vehicles ARE NOT INSURED for foreign travel by the insurance company without the correct documentation.
