Car Hire in Warrington FAQs

What are the deposit and excess?
Central Self Drive uses a pre-authorised security deposit of £250 for the hire of a vehicle which must be paid on a debit or credit card on the day of hire. We do not accept cash to comply with our insurance policies.
The excess is £1000 in the event of damage or a claim. The excess can vary subject to driving records (driving licence endorsements & past accidents).
We can reduce the excess, so please get in touch with our rental staff for any further information.
Where does my deposit go when I hire a car?
When you come to collect the vehicle, we ask for a card deposit.
We do not physically charge this card, but the deposit is held against your balance to ensure you have the funds to cover the deposit in the unfortunate event of an accident or vehicle theft.
Once you return the vehicle to its pre-hire state, we authorise the release of these funds.
Usually, within five working days, the money is available on the balance of your card again.
Only in the unfortunate event of an accident, vehicle theft, your vehicle being returned with less fuel than when you took it, or any other event stated on your rental agreement can we physically take money from the card.

Have I got unlimited mileage?
If the rental is for only one day, you will have unlimited mileage. For longer rentals, the mileage is 100 miles per day.
If you are concerned about exceeding your mileage allowance, ask our rental staff to pre-pay for extra mileage to pay at a discounted rate.
How much fuel will be in the vehicle when I collect it?
All of our vehicles are supplied on a like-for-like agreement, so how much fuel the car is when you collect it is how much you should return it.
