What checks am I responsible for when picking up the vehicle?
When collecting your rental vehicle, it's important to take a few moments to ensure everything is in order. Here’s a quick checklist to help you get started:
1. Inspect the Vehicle’s Condition
- Carefully check both the exterior and interior of the vehicle, including any accessories, for pre-existing damage such as scratches, dents, or other marks.
- Make sure any damage is accurately listed on the Rental Agreement. If you notice any damage not already recorded, ask a staff member to add it to the agreement and ensure both of you sign the update.
- If you're unable to report unlisted damage at the time of pick-up (e.g., picking up at night or outside opening hours), you have 24 hours to report it.
2. Fuel Check
- Verify that the fuel level matches the amount indicated in your rental agreement.
3. Mileage Check
- If your rental has limited mileage, make sure the mileage limit and current reading are noted.
4. Familiarise Yourself with the Vehicle
- Before driving off, take a moment to check:
- The fuel type required for the vehicle
- Essential controls such as headlights, indicators, parking brake, and hazard lights
- A Vehicle Instruction Card is available on the sun visor, or you can find one online by clicking here.
