Can I extend my weekend rental if plans change?
Yes. If you want to extend your rental beyond the agreed return date, contact us before the original return time and we'll adjust the agreement. Daily rates apply to any extension days.
Is there a minimum rental period?
Our minimum rental is 1 day. For weekend rentals, most customers take 2 or 3 days to make the most of their trip.

We operate Monday–Friday 08:00–18:00 and Saturday 09:00–16:00. For late Friday collections, contact us in advance and we'll make arrangements where possible.
