Is there a Deposit payable?
The amount of Deposit Held is defined by how many days you wish to hire and if you wish to take one of our Excess Protection Packages. From £14 per day, you can reduce your excess to zero as well as benefiting from zero deposit held during the rental. Further excess packages are available however deposits of 150 GBP or 750 GBP would be held. We return the deposit at the end of the rental.

Yes, but you need to provide your own European breakdown cover. Additional charges apply. Please call Ireland Toll Free: 1800 99 22 55 or International: +353 1 691 7390 for more information.
Free roadside assistance is not included when taking the vehicle to locations off the UK Mainland. Customers will be liable for any recovery / roadside assistance costs incurred when the vehicle is taken off the UK Mainland.
Are there any restrictions to where can I drive the vehicle?
As per Section 34 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, when driving in the UK it is illegal to drive a motor vehicle on, common land, moorland, Forestry Commission land or any land that is not forming part of a road without authorisation. Please note, although we offer all-wheel terrain vehicles, our insurance does NOT cover off-road driving.
I cannot find my driving licence, can I still hire?
Yes, we will need government-issued ID (such as a passport, along with the ID stated above) and will need to contact the DVLA to check your licence details (there is a charge for this service)
Do you offer Unlimited Mileage?
When you rent a car in the UK special mileage restrictions are in place. For a small fee, you can get unlimited mileage (paid for at the counter). Otherwise, you’ll get 100 free miles per day.
When you hire a van, daily limits are in place also. Please contact us for more information.
Can I add additional drivers?
Yes, more than one person can drive the rental vehicle; the additional driver needs to be present when collecting the vehicle. All subsequent extra drivers must also adhere to our general policy; you must be at least 23 years of age and have held a full driving licence for 1 year (2 years for young drivers).
Do I need a child seat for my rental vehicle?
Yes. The law requires all children travelling in the seat of any car, van or goods vehicle must use the correct child car seat until they are either 135 cm in height or 12 years old (whichever they reach first). If you do not have your own child/baby seat, Easirent can hire one to you at the rental counter. The responsibility for ensuring children under the age of 12 years are restrained correctly, and the seat is fitted properly, rests with the driver of the rental vehicle.
Do the rental cars have cameras installed?
Road traffic accident cameras may be installed in your rental vehicle. The camera is installed under the rear view mirror to capture images in the event of a road traffic accident. No sound is recorded, only video image.
Can Easirent staff, or anyone else, view images as they please?
No. The camera footage cannot be accessed by anyone unless the car is involved in a road traffic accident. The device is installed to protect your insurance excess and help determine liability in the event of a road traffic accident.
Do Easirent store images of my journey?
No. The camera only records for a short period of 3 minutes. Anything prior to this is permanently deleted.
For more information on how we store our data please see our privacy policy.
What happens to the camera images in the event of an accident?
In the event of a road traffic accident, the images of the incident are sent to the Easirent claims department for analysis. If the incident is found to be the fault of the third party, you will not be liable for any charges and your pre authorised deposit will not be charged.
Can I remove the camera from the vehicle?
If the vehicle has a camera installed, it cannot be removed or tampered with under any circumstances. If the camera is removed or tampered with, the insurance in the vehicle will be invalid and the rental terminated. No refund will be made for the unused days.
