Yes, all PSD vehicles come with a full tank of fuel – after all, we want the service to be as convenient as possible for our customers. All we ask, before you return the car or van to our store, is to fill the tank back up. If it doesn’t come back full, we will refuel the vehicle and add the cost to your final bill.
To use our car and van hire service in St. Helens, you must be aged 25-75 years old. You also need to have a full UK driving licence and a minimum of 12 months’ driving experience.
Most of our vehicle rentals require a £200 refundable deposit. The only exception is the 7.5-tonne wagon, which requires a larger refundable deposit of £300. Unfortunately, we cannot take payment in cash – only debit and credit cards will be accepted, so be sure to have these to hand.
Technically speaking, no – there’s no need to purchase insurance for car or van hire in St Helens. We include a waiver within the cost of the rental. This comes with an excess of £750, which means if the vehicle was accidentally damaged or stolen, you would only be expected to pay the first £750. We also offer customers the option to reduce this excess to £350 for a small additional charge. Simply add it to your rental for a daily rate of £18, weekly rate of £75 or weekend rate of £35.
As a member of staff must be present for the drop-off, rental vehicles cannot usually be returned out-of-hours. In some circumstances, a one-off arrangement can be made for a small charge.
No, we cannot accept cash payment for the deposit – this can only be left on a debit/credit card. However, the cost of the actual car or van hire can be paid for in cash if necessary.
Yes, for all of our car and van hires, we ask to see both your driving photo card and your printed licence summary. But don’t worry too much if you can’t find the paper part – you can still use our services, we just have to make a quick phone call to the DVLA (a small fee of £5 +VAT applies).
All one-day hires come with unlimited mileage – you just need to refuel before you return the vehicle. For weekly hires, we have a maximum allowance of 750 miles. This is a generous limit and is ample for most people’s needs. However, if you do manage to exceed this cut-off, you will be charged 10p + VAT for every extra mile. For example, 100 miles will cost £10 + VAT.
