Managers Tips

Pay any tolls or charges as soon as they happen, it’s easy to forget! If you have a passenger, get them to pay online as you go along.

Please do not allow pets into our vehicles, you may incur an anti-allergy valeting charge.

Try to reverse into parking spaces if you’re in a van. It’s much easier to drive out and you can see the traffic coming.

Use your passenger as a “driver’s mate”: get them to jump out and help with any reversing manoeuvres.

Don’t panic if you see a yellow warning on the dashboard. Modern vehicles tell the driver a lot, and unless it’s a red light there’s normally no need to stop.

The air conditioning will leave puddles of condensation under the vehicle, particularly in hot weather. This is not a sign of a fault.

Don’t be afraid to adjust the mirrors. Rear view mirrors are crucial in a van and you need to see obstacles to avoid them.

Loud music can be fun but it can also hide the parking sensors beeping. After the beeps stop there will most likely be a dent.

Might seem irrelevant in a van with no back window, but it actually heats the mirrors, helping to keep them clear on a rainy day.

Take your time. It’s cheaper to pay for another day’s rental than to replace a wing mirror.

It’s good for the soul.
