What about fuel?
We understand that you
don't know how much fuel you're
likely to use. So, all of
our vehicles are released
for hire with a full tank.
All we ask is that you return
the vehicle to us with a full
tank of fule. If not, then
refuelling charges will apply.
Isn't there lots of paperwork?
We will give you a Rental
Agreement to check and sign,
which will show any additional
services and damage protection
etc., with the relevant charges.
You will also be asked to
sign a Pre Rental Inspection
document at the start and
end of the rental, so its
very important that you check
the vehicle for any damage
before you leave the premises.
What if I need the vehicle
for longer?.
You can extend the rental
period, but this has to be
agreed with SPRINT. This ensures
that the vehicle is still
available for hire, and so
that any paperwork, including
the rental agreement can be
amended to cover the additional
rental period.

We accept
all major international
Credit Cards, excluding American
Express.
The debit cards that SPRINT
accept are Switch, british

Cards. We do not accept any

licence must be presented
at time of rental.
