Frequently Asked Questions

What is a collision damage waiver?

A collision damage waiver (CDW) is provided in case you have a collision or your car suffers damage during the rental period. Essentially it means that we waive the right to charge you for damage to your rental vehicle. All our rentals include CDW as standard.

Can I hire a vehicle if I have points on my licence?

We will generally accept your booking as long as you have no more than six points on your licence. However, we do reserve the right to refuse if your endorsements are for a more serious offence.

Do I need insurance to book a vehicle?

Our prices are inclusive of insurance, so you do not need your own insurance when you hire one of our vehicles.

Do you offer long-term hire?

Yes, car rentals of more than 21 days are possible.

Do you offer unlimited mileage? / What is the mileage policy?

Mileage is included in our standard daily rental. There are exclusions: rentals that exceed 21 days and also rentals where the vehicle is being taken out of the UK.

Is a deposit required when you book a vehicle?

Our deposits vary dependent on the category of vehicle. £250 for a standard vehicle to £1250 for our prestige vehicles.

    I needed to hire a van at the last minute. Gatwick Car & Van rental were still just open and were able to hire me the van. The hire process was completed quickly and efficiently. The van was amazing! It was brand new - 160 miles old. Brilliant to drive and more than sufficient to complete my task. It was a shame that I didn't have more tasks to do with it!

    The best car hire firm I have ever used, that is for sure. I used to fly into Gatwick regularly pre-Covid and always used Gatwick Car & Van. Excellent customer service, good vehicles and all at a very competitive price. After a break of a few years I flew into Gatwick again today. Lots of things have changed in the UK in recent years, some things not for the best, but Gatwick Car & Van Hire still offer an excellent service with a personal touch that is unrivalled. Very happy with the service, the car and the price.

    It’s the first time I have really been comfortable hiring a car. I felt as though I had known the partners for years. Each was so gently personable and relaxed, with a no fuss attitude. There was no pressure, everything was explained simply. The extra service to be picked up and dropped off at the North Terminal for a tenner each way was worth every penny - as was their offer to pre-pay (at no extra margin) the Dartford Tunnel toll - normally a habitual nightmare for me having come a cropper several times over the years since the demise of the coin throw fun. On return, the car was checked and signed off straight away, plus they’d ordered me a taxi for the North Terminal trip as they knew only one of them would be at the business at that early time. I am genuinely looking forward to my next Gatwick Cars & Van hire. Its a no brainer for me. I am a very happy customer! Oh and the little 2 door Fiat I hired was perfect for me! The cost of all this was less than £100 for 4 days with just a £250 deposit. They live up to the great recommendations you are reading here. It’ so nice to be part of the Ying & Yang of good business. Thank you so very very much chaps!

    Kind, honest and hospitality. Called at night but they kindly answered the phone and helped us for the next day’s early morning rental. Not located so close to us but we will come back to you next time, too. Staff never get us worried. The car is also clean and comfy. Thank you very much.
