We recommend that you call at a petrol station at the start of your journey. At the end of the hire please return the car with the same amount of petrol as at the start of the hire.

You'll find a petrol station in the airport open 24/24 - 7/7 Return to top.

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. Return to top.

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 to top.

In case of an accident
Should you have an accident or the car is broken into or any other event that requires a claim on the insurance you must call the police and get an incident report number.
