Can I choose a specific vehicle?

Yes, just select which model you’re interested in and we will get in touch to confirm which vehicles are available. There will normally be a choice of colours and we may have alternative specifications or engines available, depending on the vehicle. The vehicle you choose is then guaranteed for at least the minimum term in your agreement.

How many miles can I do?

You can select a monthly mileage allowance of between 1000 and 3000 miles per month, in 500 mile increments. Your quote will show the monthly cost for the mileage allowance selected. If you go above your mileage allowance and excess mileage charge will apply. When you make an enquiry we’ll always ask you about your mileage requirements so we can give you an accurate cost and avoid any excess mileage charges.

What’s the minimum hire period?

All of our short term lease vehicles are available for a minimum of just one month. If you need a vehicle for less than a month, you can find a daily rental car here.

Can I extend my short term lease agreement?

Yes, you can just keep extending the hire if needed unless we request the vehicle be returned. The maximum period you can have on the same agreement is 3 months – if you need a vehicle for longer than that, that’s fine, you’ll just need to sign up to a new agreement. When a vehicle has been requested for return you can choose to have another vehicle delivered to replace your current vehicle. We may not be able to guarantee a specific vehicle beyond the minimum period you sign up for, but we will always try to accommodate your preferences. If you do not wish to keep the vehicle you must return it to an AMT branch on the day the agreement ends. You can also request that we collect the vehicle, for an additional charge.

Can I return the vehicle early?

Once you have had the vehicle for at least the minimum period in your agreement you can return the vehicle to us at any time. If you are still within the minimum period, you can return the vehicle to us but we can’t refund any unused days as your rate is based upon the minimum period you choose.

Do you offer delivery and collection?

Yes, we can deliver and collect anywhere in the UK for an additional charge. Alternatively, you can visit one of our branches to pick up and return your vehicle.

Am I able to take the vehicle abroad?

If you wish to travel outside of the UK mainland, you’ll need to let us know when you book the hire so that we can arrange a travel abroad document called a VE103. We ask that you allow at least two working days prior to overseas travel so that we can make sure you receive the relevant documentation to avoid any delays at border posts. There will be additional charges to take the vehicle abroad. Some of our vehicles may not travel outside of the UK mainland so please tell us when you book your hire if you wish to travel overseas; we may not be able to authorise overseas travel if you request it after your hire has already begun. If we authorise overseas travel, you may only travel to the following countries: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain and the United Kingdom.

How long does it take to organise and how does it work?

From enquiry to receiving your vehicle, it will normally take around a week, depending on availability of the vehicle you request. You’ll be asked to complete an application form, which will be submitted for underwriting. While we do not undertake a formal credit check, we do complete some identity and eligibility checks. If your application is approved, we’ll confirm everything with you and ask you to send two forms of identification along with a copy of your photocard licence. When this is received, we’ll raise and send you your service agreement. This will be your contract with us and will clearly show you your: Minimum hire period Selected vehicle type Hire start and end date Monthly fee Selected monthly mileage allowance Deposit amount Terms and conditions If you’re happy with the contract, simply sign it and send it back to the email address supplied and we’ll arrange the vehicle for you.

Since the 8th June 2015, the Government no longer produce the paper counterpart of the driving licence and therefore this can’t be accepted as a record of your driving history. If you have a UK driving licence, we will also need to conduct a DVLA check, so please make sure you have a valid DVLA check code from https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence before your hire. Without this information we won’t be able to validate your licence and therefore will be unable to hire.

How do I pay for my vehicles?

For short term lease customers, before the start of the hire we need one month’s rental and the deposit amount stated on your service agreement paid in advance. Vehicles can’t be released until funds are cleared into our account. Your further monthly payments, and any additional charges will then be taken by direct debit each month until you return the vehicle to us. Please note, your initial payment must be made by Visa, Mastercard or bank transfer. We do not accept American Express. For any payment method used, the account name must match the name on your agreement.

Yes, a deposit will be required when you sign an agreement with us and it’ll be taken with the monthly rental at the start of the hire period. Deposits will vary depending on the vehicle selected and will be displayed on the agreement. The full deposit will be refunded at the end of the hire providing the vehicle is returned without any additional damage, the fuel level matches that at the start and there are no other outstanding charges.

Do I need to pay for fuel?

Yes, you must pay for the fuel you use. Vehicles are supplied with a minimum ¼ tank and ideally should be returned at the same level. If the vehicle is returned with less fuel than at the start of the hire there will be a charge for the fuel used.
