Security Holding As a precaution, we ask that all hirers allow us to hold a refundable security deposit of £750 during their vehicle hire. This should be paid at collection by BACS, Debit Card or Credit Card. This allows us to ensure the van has been kept per these terms & conditions and conduct a final check-over upon return.  If all is in order, the £750 will be returned to your nominated account within 3-5 working days of the end of the hire. We will contact you to discuss if we find anything to prevent us from returning part or all of the monies. If any damage or losses are noted that are worth more than the security deposit, the hirer/s will be responsible for compensating any further funds to rectify this.
