Document:
Hirers have two options; utilise our self-drive hire policy or provide us with proof of their personal insurance. We can also provide customers with a list of suitable insurers should you want to insure yourself.
i. The rental quote includes self-drive hire policy for authorised drivers, although an insurance excess does apply.
ii. The amount of the excess depends on which car you have hired and is shown at booking.
iii. The insurance excess ranges from £500 to £10000. The security deposit held by us for the duration of the hire is taken to cover this insurance excess in the case of damage to the vehicle during the hire period.
iv. The Insurance cover applies only in the UK. If the vehicle is to be outside the UK, prior consent must be obtained. Failure to do so will invalidate the insurance cover and the Security Deposit held by us will be forfeit. The hirer will also be responsible for all damage incurred whilst off the public highway or outside the UK.
v. If the driving license of the hirer or any additional driver contains any current endorsements, these must be declared at the time of booking.
vi. Only the person(s) named on the hire agreement are insured to drive the vehicle. If anyone other than the person(s) named on the hire agreement is found to be driving the vehicle, the security deposit will be considered a total loss. We will also seek prosecution for driving without insurance.
i. Classic Parade requires proof of the policy document prior to the start of hire clearly stating the names’ of the insured drivers’, the vehicle insured and the dates insured.
ii. Should the policy be cancelled for any reason the hirer will be personally liable for any damages to the vehicle during the hire period.
Not only is this a legal requirement, but it provides peace of mind that both parties are protected if the worst happens.
In the event that any vehicle is used by the hirer for any uninsured purpose, the hirer will be personally liable and shall be liable to indemnify us for the full cost of any damage caused to the vehicle, any other property or any injury that may arise either directly or indirectly therefrom and any resulting costs or expenses (including without limitation the cost of hiring a suitable equivalent replacement vehicle for any period while the vehicle is being repaired or (if a total loss) while a suitable replacement vehicle is obtained.
i. Prices are based on drivers being aged 30 to 75 years. However additional insurance can be arranged for drivers aged 25 to 30 at a cost of £15* per day, £25* per weekend and £50* per week.
ii. All drivers must have held a full licence for a minimum of two years, must have no more than 6 current points on their licence, and are subject to approval on completion of a Classic Parade insurance proposal form.
iii. Any convictions for drink driving, driving under the influence of drugs; dangerous or careless driving within the past 5 years will not be accepted.
i. We require a booking fee which is the equivalent of the hire fee to secure your booking.

iv. Cancellations within 14 days of the hire date are non-refundable.
v. When does the security deposit get refunded?
This varies depending on your individual credit/debit card provider and their processing times. As long as there have been no damages, the refund will be processed from our team within 14 days from the end of your hire date.
Please note for bookings made within 14 days of hire date, the cancellation fee still applies as per terms above.
i. Our despatch team may carry out pre-authorisation checks for security purposes upon delivery of vehicles using our mobile card payment terminals.
ii. The pre-authorisation is a temporary hold of the security deposit quoted upon your booking, this guarantees us that the funds are available to pay for any damages.
iii. When does the pre-authorisation get released?
This varies depending on your individual credit/debit card provider and their processing times. As long as there have been no damages, the pre-authorisation release will be processed from our team within 14 days from the end of your hire date.
ii. As payments towards any mechanical damage which is not covered by our insurers, e.g., tyres, wheels, clutch, gearbox and any damage sustained during the hire period, excluding normal wear and tear, due to misuse and abuse.
iii. As an insurance excess against any accidental damage or loss caused to the vehicle by a third party or the hirer. The hirer is liable for the amount shown as Excess Deposit. Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is available to reduce this. Please see below.
