Can I make modifications to the vehicle?

No, not without the partner's written approval. That includes stickers, wraps, tints, fitted accessories and any mechanical or electrical changes. Tampering with or removing the tracker is never allowed.

Vehicle Use & Restrictions

Can I use the vehicle for delivery or courier work?

No. Courier and delivery work isn't allowed, and neither is Uber, taxi or private hire work. The insurance doesn't cover paid delivery or passenger work, so it breaks your hire agreement.

Vehicle Use & Restrictions

Can I use the vehicle for racing or track days?

No. Racing, track days, timed events and drifting are never allowed. Track use voids the insurance, so you pay the full cost of any damage, recovery and repairs.

Vehicle Use & Restrictions

Can I lend the vehicle to someone else?

No. Only drivers named on your booking can drive the car. Anyone else isn't insured, so you pay the full cost of any damage, and it breaks your hire agreement.
