REFUNDS will be processed in the same manner, provided that the vehicle is returned complete and undamaged, clean and tidy on the inside with an empty toilet cassette and a full tank of diesel. On return, the vehicle will be briefly inspected and a full inspection carried out within 48 hours and, if applicable, damage charges will be deducted from your Damage/Security Deposit

Regardless of how minor the accident may seem, full details of anyone involved need to be noted down in the accident report form which is kept in the vehicle. This is the responsibility of the hirer.
