Child safety
If you are using YOR's child seats please bring a towel or other cover to
help them keep the child seats clean for the next clients children. The
child seats YOR have are standard forward facing child seats generally
suitable for children from 6 months to 2 and a half years. They also have
booster cushions for older children (6-7 year). Where parents are
concerned as to the suitability of the seats YOR provide, we recommend
they bring own seats.

Roof rack
To assist in fuel economy modern cars are of very lightweight
construction. As a result of much damage caused by clients over-loading
roof racks we now only fit roof racks to the Opel Corsa. You are
responsible for what you carry on the roof rack and for any damage that it
may cause to the car. We ask you to take great care. Clients should supply
their own tie-downs suitable for the baggage they intend to carry.
Return to top.
Deposit
Whether you pay by credit card or in cash we ask you to complete a credit
card slip as security for the amount of the insurance excess for your car
group. The slip is not submitted to the bank unless there is a claim, so
in the normal course you will not actually pay a deposit. At the end of
the hire the credit card slip is returned to you and you should destroy it
without delay.
Return to top.
How and when do I pay
Hire charges are payable on collection of the car by cash or card. If you
pay by credit card we ask you to complete a card slip as security for the
amount of the deposit and
excess. This is
however not submitted to the bank unless there is a claim, so in the
normal course you will not actually pay a deposit for either the excess
nor the 50 euro. At the end of the hire, the slip is returned to you and
you should destroy it without delay. Cash payments are welcome and given a
4% discount. Return

deliver it to us. If you have any difficulties with this please do not
hesitate to call the office and we will be happy to help. Please call the
