It is the responsibility of the hirer to ensure that there is adequate time to travel to and from  destinations, the company will provide advice, but this does not form  any part of a contract between the hirer, the hirer's party or the  company and its employees.
• Whilst we maintain our vehicles to the highest standards, unfortunately cars  can and do break down at times. If this happens before the hire, we  reserve the right to change the vehicle. If we are unable to provide an  alternative vehicle, a full refund will be offered. We recommend that  the hirer has emergency back up plans or alternative transportation.
