What is a voucher and why do I need one?
Your rental voucher is a document, which will be emailed to you and must be printed and produced at the rental desk when you pick-up your vehicle. It is imperative that you have it in your possession. If you do not produce your voucher at the time of collection of the vehicle, the car rental supplier may ask you to pay more or refuse you your rental. If you do not produce your voucher at the rental counter we cannot accept any appeal for a refund.
I can't find my voucher. Could you please send the voucher again?

What happens if I do not take my voucher with me?
If you do not have correct paperwork when picking up the vehicle then the car rental supplier may refuse to rent the vehicle to you.
One Way Rentals
What are cross border or territional restrictions?
Cross border or territorial restrictions simply means that with certain countries you may have the option to travel between country borders. This option will be specified in the terms and conditions and usually has a fee attached. You must also get permission from the car rental agent to travel between one country and another. A charge generally applies too.
Fuel
What is a fuel policy?
A fuel policy is a specific term and condition set by the car rental agent regarding the charge associated with the fuel of the vehicle. Car rental agents have different fuel policies. Please check your terms and conditions for the specific fuel policy or rate details on step 2 of the booking process.
Age Restrictions
What are age restrictions?
Age restrictions are set by car rental agents. This means that for insurance purposes the car rental agent may have a minimum or maximum age of the driver they can rent to. All age restrictions will be in the terms and conditions of each rental. Some companies also have a young or senior driver's fee for specific age groups.
Extras
I have booked a baby/booster for my child. Where can I see this confirmed in my booking?
Once the vehicle is confirmed please check your booking voucher. The voucher has a section which shows the additional extras you have booked including baby seats, booster seats or additional drivers. These extras are not included in the price quoted; they must be paid for on arrival. Please note, these extras are only requested and not guaranteed.

Insurance
How do I reduce the excess on the vehicle? Can I take out additional insurances to reduce it?
You can purchase additional insurances to reduce the excess on the vehicle. This can be done at the car rental agent's office on arrival. If you choose not to purchase additional insurances a pre-authorisation is required. This pre- authorisation is taken from your credit card. Please see your terms & conditions for further details.
Licence
What is an international driver's licence and why do I need one?
The International Driving Licence (IDL) is recognised worldwide as a valuable document that identifies its holder as a licensed driver when your licence is not in the same language as the country in which you are driving. You must also produce a National Driver's Licence with this licence; otherwise it will not be accepted.
Do I need both parts of my British licence to rent a vehicle?
If you have the new photo ID licence you must take the paper counterpart as well. If you do not present both the card and the counterpart you will not get the vehicle. If your licence is written in Chinese, Russian or any 'picture' script then you will need to obtain an international driver's permit before you travel from your country of residence.
