Vehicle Hire FAQ's

What documents do you need to hire a vehicle?

Nothing complicated. Here’s what to have ready:

  • Your valid driving licence
  • A form of ID (passport or government issued-ID)
  • A debit or credit card

That covers most bookings. Even if you’re visiting from outside the UK, you’re welcome to hire your vehicle from us, just get in touch ahead of time so your paperwork is sorted before you arrive.

Contact us to book your vehicle hire.

How do I add additional drivers to my vehicle hire?

You can easily add another driver to your booking.

They’ll need to meet the same age and licence requirements as the main driver. They’ll also need to bring their licence and ID.

Get in touch and your quote will cover everything. Including additional drivers.

What’s the minimum age for hiring a vehicle?

You’ll typically need to be 25 or older to hire a vehicle with us. Some vehicles are available from age 21. Different conditions may apply depending on the vehicle, or your driving history.

Not sure if you’re eligible? A quick call will give you an answer.

Call us on 0345 222 1022 or email info@psdvehiclerental.co.uk to check your options.

What do you do if you have a breakdown or an accident during your hire?

You don’t want to think about it. But if it happens, you’re covered.

Just contact the support team straight away using the number in your hire agreement. You’ll get help around the clock if you need it. Roadside assistance will be arranged for you. And you’ll be guided through every step to get you back on the road with as little disruption as possible.

How much fuel comes with your hire vehicle?

Your vehicle will have at least a quarter tank of fuel. Enough to get you started straight away.

When you return your vehicle, just refill it to the same level. Fill up within five miles of our location and bring your fuel receipt with you on return.

If the tank comes back short, a refuelling charge will be added to your hire.

What insurance is included in your vehicle hire?

You don’t need to arrange your own cover. Insurance is already included in your hire.

Your standard excess is £1,500. For Luton box vans, it’s £2,000. That means if the vehicle is accidentally damaged or stolen, your maximum liability is capped at that amount.

You also have the option to reduce your excess to £1,000 (£1,500 for Luton box vans). Here’s what that looks like:

  • Daily: £26.40
  • Weekly: £184.80
  • Weekend: £79.20

Add it to your hire when you book, and it’s one less thing for you to worry about.

When can you return your hire vehicle?

Out-of-hours returns aren’t currently available. So you’ll need to return your vehicle during our opening hours.

Be sure to check our hours before you book. That way you can plan your return.

Contact us to confirm return times for your booking.

What’s the mileage allowance on your vehicle?

It depends on your hire length.

One-day hires come with unlimited mileage. So you can drive as far as you need (just refuel your vehicle before returning it).

Weekly hires include upto 750 miles. That’s generous and covers most agreements comfortably. If you go over, it’s 14p + VAT per extra mile (so 100 extra miles would be £14 + VAT).

Not sure which option is best for you? Get in touch and we’ll help you work it out.

    A few days ago, I was unable to rent a vehicle from my originally planned rental company, so I came to PSD instead. I was very lucky to be assisted by Keegan Dixon, who was extremely helpful and attentive. Thanks to his efforts, I was able … More to successfully rent a vehicle and complete my house move. I’m truly grateful for his support.When returning the vehicle today, Vicky was also very kind and helpful, making the return process smooth and stress-free.Overall, it was a great experience. The vehicle was new and clean, and the customer service was excellent. I will definitely choose PSD again in the future and highly recommend them to others.

    Used twice now. Once for a van for work while mine was off road and also a car for a trip. Everyone I have dealt with at PSD St Helens was amazong! The whole process was smooth with issues. They are honest, upfront and reliable. Huge shout … More out to Keegan too. Quality service!

    I honestly can't say enough good things about Marie at PSD Hire. She is an absolute saint and a total credit to the company!We were up the wall and needed a massive EXLWB Transit van for our house move right at the last minute, which … More was super stressful. We were panicking a bit, thinking we'd never find one. Marie was just brilliant. She stayed calm, didn't make us feel bad for being last-minute, and got us the perfect van sorted out.And then, she saved us again. I had that awful 'oh no' moment halfway through the day when I realised there was no way we'd get it all done. I was dreading making the call, thinking it would be a complicated nightmare to extend the hire. But Marie was just amazing about it. She sorted us out for the whole weekend, no fuss, no hassle, and gave us a brilliant price for it too.Seriously, we were totally stressed out, Marie was the one who just sorted it. Her customer service is fantastic, and she's genuinely a lovely person to deal with. We'll be telling everyone to use PSD Hire, all thanks to her!

    Used a PSD last year, the service was unbeatable, needed a van for the weekend, so used a different PSD which was closer, Edward dealt with us, went over and beyond to make sure We had what We needed, couldn't ask for more, Jay went … More over the van with Us, everything seemed fine , he spotted a small flaw on the tyre and had it swapped, the service and the vans supplied together is worth every penny, easy process, always instills confidence in a firm when You are dealing with genuine people at the front , thank you so much

    5 star, I'd give more if it were possible! To hire a transit we dealt with Marie (Prescot branch), such a lovely welcoming lady. Every step of the way was explained in a professional/friendly manner. Thank you Marie. On returning the … More vehicle we were dealt with by Edward, again, very professional/pleasant. Thank you Edward. I would recommend this company 100% without hesitation.

    I rented a van for a day at an hours notice. When I phoned Keegan was nothing but helpful in helping me chose the correct size vehicle.
