Booking Request Received

Thanks, {{First Name}}!

Your booking request has been submitted successfully and the full booking amount, including any selected extras, has been pre-authorised on your payment card.

Your booking is not yet confirmed. Our team will now check your booking details, vehicle availability, driving licence information and DVLA Share My Licence code.

If we cannot accept your booking, the pre-authorisation will be released. The time it takes for the funds to become available again is determined by your bank or card provider and is outside Regal Rental's control.

Important Information

Before Your Hire

Please read the sections below so you know exactly what to expect.

Hire Times & Vehicle Return
Our standard hire period runs from 8:00am until 7:00am the following day.

Unless we have specifically agreed otherwise with you, your vehicle must be returned by 7:00am on the agreed return date.

This applies regardless of what time you actually collect the vehicle. For example, collecting a vehicle later in the day does not automatically extend the return time.

If you need different collection or return arrangements, please contact us and these must be agreed with Regal Rental in advance.

Your Payment

The full booking amount shown during checkout, including any selected extras, has been pre-authorised on your payment card.

This means the funds may be reserved by your bank while Regal Rental reviews your booking, but your booking is still awaiting our approval.

If your booking is accepted, payment will be processed in accordance with your booking and rental agreement.

If Regal Rental rejects or is unable to accept your booking, the pre-authorisation will be released.

Once released by Regal Rental, the time it takes for the funds to become available again is determined by your bank or card provider. Regal Rental cannot control this timescale.

£10 Per Day Booking Fee

A £10 per rental day booking fee applies to your booking.

The booking fee is non-refundable if you cancel your booking.

If your hire proceeds as booked, the booking fee is deducted from the final payment for your rental.

Changing Your Hire Dates

If you change your booking dates, a further £10 per rental day booking fee will apply to the revised booking.

Cancellation Terms

We understand that plans can change. Our standard cancellation terms are:

More Than 7 Days Before Hire

Your rental payment will be refunded, less the non-refundable booking fee.

Between 7 And 3 Days Before Hire

You will normally receive 50% of the refundable rental amount, with the booking fee remaining non-refundable.

Less Than 3 Days Before Hire

The booking payment will normally be non-refundable.

If We're Able To Re-Hire The Vehicle

Where a booking is cancelled, particularly at short notice, we'll make reasonable efforts to put the vehicle back on rent.

If we're successfully able to re-hire the vehicle for some or all of the cancelled period, we may be able to return additional funds to you.

Any additional refund will depend on the circumstances of the cancellation and the period for which the vehicle can be re-hired.

What You'll Need For Your Hire

Please make sure you can provide:

  • Your valid driving licence
  • Two proofs of your current address

Examples of suitable proof of address may include:

  • Bank statement
  • Car insurance document
  • Council tax or other tax letter
  • Utility bill
  • Other suitable official correspondence showing your current address

We may request additional identification or documentation if required.

Vehicle Availability & Pricing

All booking requests are subject to vehicle availability and final approval by Regal Rental.

If your requested vehicle or vehicle category is unavailable, we'll contact you to discuss an alternative.

An alternative vehicle may be more expensive or cheaper depending on what is available.

We'll discuss the alternative vehicle and any change in price with you before confirming it.

Vehicle Delivery

Vehicle delivery is currently available from our Carlisle branch only, subject to availability and the agreed delivery area.

If delivery forms part of your booking, our team will confirm the delivery arrangements with you.

Dartford Crossing, Congestion Charges & Tolls

You are responsible for applicable road-user charges incurred during your rental, including Dartford Crossing charges, congestion charges, tolls and similar road-user charges.

These charges may be collected when the vehicle is returned, charged per use during the rental, or charged after your hire if Regal Rental receives the charge at a later date.

Please refer to your rental agreement for any applicable administration fees or additional terms.

One Final Reminder

Your Booking Is Awaiting Confirmation

Your booking request remains subject to driver approval, driving licence checks, vehicle availability, payment authorisation, Regal Rental's rental requirements and any additional information we reasonably require.

Please do not make arrangements that depend on the vehicle being available until you've received confirmation from Regal Rental.
