1.2. Taking the vehicle outside the United Kingdom is NOT permitted under any circumstance.

If the vehicle is used in any of the above ways and/or without us giving prior consent, the hirer accepts full responsibility for all damage incurred and will automatically mean the loss of the security deposit.

2.1.  The rental quote includes Comprehensive cover for authorised drivers, although an insurance excess does apply as detailed in the Terms and Conditions. 

2.2. The security deposit held by us for the duration of the hire is to cover this insurance excess in the case of damage to the vehicle during the hire period.

2.3. The insurance cover applies only to the public highway in the UK. If the vehicle is to be used off the public highway with the exception of parking within 15 yards of the public highway for the purpose of setting up camp, prior written consent must be obtained. Failure to do so will invalidate the insurance cover and the security deposit held by us will be forfeited. The hirer will also be responsible for all damage incurred whilst off the public highway.

2.5. As the hirer you agree that the following statement is true:

• • I am in a physical condition so as to be reasonably considered capable of driving a 4×4 vehicle.
  • I have not been disqualified from driving and have disclosed any and all endorsements
  • Only the person(s) named on the hire agreement are insured to drive the vehicle. If anyone other than the person(s) name on the hire agreement is found to be driving the vehicle, the security deposit will be considered a total loss. We will also seek prosecution for driving without insurance.
