* Three weeks prior to collection, no fees will be levied. All payments already made will be refunded.
*Cancellations made within two weeks prior to collection, 50% of the contracted amount will remain payable. 
* Within a week prior to collection, 95%  of the contracted amount will remain payable. 
Any payments, less the cancellation fee will be refunded.

We require a 25% payment to confirm any rental. The 75% balance must be paid two weeks prior to collection of the vehicle. If you book your vehicle less than two weeks prior to collection we require the full amount to confirm it.

5 days is our minimum but exceptions can be made on request.
