No Hidden Nasties: Why We Believe in Honest Hire.
There is nothing worse than the feeling of returning a rental vehicle, handing over the keys, and suddenly being presented with a bill that looks nothing like the price you were quoted.
Whether it’s "admin processing fees," confusing fuel surcharges, or insurance jargon designed to trip you up, the car hire industry has developed a bit of a reputation for having a sting in the tail.
At Hometown Vehicle Hire, we believe that is the wrong way to do business.
When we say "Reliability Guaranteed," we aren’t just talking about our engines starting or our tyres having the right tread. We are talking about financial reliability, too. We believe you should be able to look at a quote and know exactly what is coming out of your bank account—no surprises, no "gotchas," and absolutely no hidden nasties.
The Hometown Difference
We are a local company, not a faceless corporation. We rely on our reputation within the community. If we hit you with hidden costs, we know you won’t come back, and you certainly wouldn’t recommend us to your friends.
That is why we are committed to Honest Hire. Here is what that looks like for you:
What You See is What You Pay: When we give you a quote, that is the price. If there are optional extras (like additional drivers, moving packs or early collections), we ask you if you want them before we add them. We never sneak them in.
Plain English Contracts: You shouldn’t need a law degree to hire a van. We walk you through the Terms & Conditions so you understand your responsibilities regarding fuel, mileage, and insurance before you drive away.
No High-Pressure Sales: We’ve all stood at a rental counter being pressured into buying expensive extra insurance policies we didn't think we needed. Our team is here to advise you on safety and liability, not to scare you into spending more money.
Peace of Mind from Start to Finish
Hiring a vehicle usually means you have a job to do—whether that’s moving house, getting to a meeting, or taking the family away. You have enough to think about without worrying if the final bill will blow your budget.
Choose the hire company that respects your wallet as much as your custom.
