How it works

1

Choose a car

Browse available vehicles and enquire online or by phone.

Driving licence, proof of address, fully comp insurance and breakdown cover.

Pay your deposit and first week, and you’re on the road. Renew weekly for as long as you need.

Who is this for?

If any of these sound familiar, you’re in the right place.

Turned down for hire

Mainstream companies said no? If you’ve got the documents and the deposit, we’ll rent you a car.

Self-employed or gig work

No payslips? No problem. As long as you’ve got the documents and the deposit, how you earn doesn’t matter to us.

On benefits

Universal Credit, PIP, or other benefits — makes no difference to us. Same process, same deal.

Need a car fast

No weeks of back-and-forth. If your documents and payment are ready, you can drive away today.

We only turn people away for four reasons: no valid UK licence, no proof of address, no insurance, or no deposit. If you’ve got those covered, we’ll get you on the road.

The Full Picture

We rent to customers living within 100 miles of Bedlington (NE22 6JU). We also offer free delivery to west lothian & the central belt.

Rent is billed weekly, in advance — we text you a secure bank link on the day each payment is due, and you pay by that link rather than by transfer or cash. Every car carries its own refundable deposit, shown on its page; if you live between 50 and 100 miles away, the deposit is double that figure to reflect the extra distance.

The minimum term is 4 weeks, and after that you simply renew week to week for as long as you need the car. As a formality, your agreement is re-signed every 6 months — nothing about your rate or the car changes, it’s just a paperwork refresh.

The Fleet

Most of our cars are out working, and they come back every week. See one you like? Tell us and we’ll call you when it’s back or a similar one is ready.

Your Questions, Answered

Do you run credit checks?

No. We never credit-check rental customers. If you have the documents and the deposit, you can rent — your credit history and how you earn make no difference to us.

What do I need to rent a car?

Four things: a UK driving licence (full or provisional), proof of address from the last 3 months, fully comprehensive insurance, and UK breakdown cover. Bring those plus your deposit and first week's payment and you're on the road.

Can I rent on a provisional licence?

Yes. A full or provisional UK licence both work, and the same applies to named drivers. International licences are not accepted.

What insurance do I need?

A fully comprehensive policy covering a car leased from a private lease company, where the registered owner and keeper is the lease company. Your insurer will know what this means — if in doubt, call us before you buy the policy and we will talk you through it.

How much is the deposit?

Every car shows its refundable deposit on its page. That figure applies if you live within 50 miles of Bedlington; it is double that amount between 50 and 100 miles. We can only rent to drivers living within 100 miles of Bedlington.

How long can I keep the car?

The minimum term is 4 weeks. After that you renew week to week for as long as you need — plenty of our customers keep their car for months.

How many miles are included?

Your rental includes 300 miles a week, which comfortably covers most daily driving.

Can I really drive away today?

Yes — if your documents and deposit are ready, same-day collection is often possible. Call us first so we can have the car ready when you arrive.

Do you rent vans?

Yes. Vans and cars — same four requirements, same weekly renewals. Each vehicle shows its own weekly rate.

When do I get my deposit back?

After you return the car and it has been checked, your deposit is refunded after a 10-working-day check period, less anything outstanding such as unpaid rent, fines, tolls or damage.

Is there a maximum length for a rental?

No fixed end date — you keep renewing week to week for as long as you need the car. As a formality your agreement is re-signed every 6 months; your rate and the car itself don’t change, it’s just a paperwork refresh.

Will I definitely be accepted?

We say yes far more often than mainstream hire companies, and how you earn or your credit history make no difference — but every application is still checked, so acceptance isn’t automatic for everyone. Have your documents and deposit ready and we’ll give you a straight answer, usually within minutes.

Not seeing the right car today?

The fleet turns over every week — tell us what you’re after and we’ll message you the moment it’s available.

Want first refusal when one lands?

Tell us what you're after — we'll message you the moment matching stock arrives. No spam, one message per match, stop anytime.
