These terms summarise how hiring a car from Sealey Car Rentals Ltd works. Every hire is also governed by the rental agreement you sign before your car is released; where the two differ, the signed rental agreement applies.

1. Who we are

Sealey Car Rentals Ltd is registered in England and Wales under company number 16214534, with its registered office at 85 Great Portland Street, London W1W 7LT (VAT number GB485631563). You can reach us on 0330 043 7677 (call or WhatsApp) or at info@sealeycarrentals.com.

2. Drivers

Drivers must be aged 25 to 70 and have held a full driving licence for at least two years.
The Performance collection (Lamborghini Urus, Mercedes G63, Audi R8 and Audi RS Q8) is available to drivers aged 30 and over.
UK and international licences are accepted. We may decline a booking at our discretion, for example to meet our insurer’s requirements.
Only drivers named on the rental agreement may drive the car.

3. Enquiries and booking

You can request a price through our instant quote, enquiry form, phone or WhatsApp. An instant quote is a guide and is confirmed by us in writing. To proceed, we send a secure booking form requesting your driving licence, a DVLA check code (UK licences), proof of address and passport, together with your personal details. Once approved, we send the rental agreement for electronic signature.

4. Prices and payment

All prices include fully comprehensive insurance and VAT.
The rental cost is paid in full to reserve your booking.
Delivery and collection charges are fixed for listed locations and quoted for other addresses.

5. Extended-hire savings

Savings apply to the daily rate for the whole booking: 20% from 7 days, 25% from 14 days, 30% from 21 days, 40% from 28 days and 50% from three months.

6. Security deposit

£2,500 for most cars, or £5,000 for the Performance collection.
A further £2,500 is required if you have our agreement to take the car abroad.
The deposit is paid when you receive the car and held for 28 days after your hire ends, to cover any charges arising from the hire, such as damage, additional mileage, fuel or penalties.

7. Mileage

Daily mileage allowances depend on the hire length (Performance collection in brackets):

1–6 days: 150 miles a day (100)
7+ days: 100 (60)
14+ days: 90 (55)
21+ days: 80 (50)
28+ days: 70 (40)
3+ months: 60 (35)

Additional miles are priced so that a further day’s allowance costs one day’s hire at the standard daily rate. For example, £2.00 a mile in a BMW X5 or £14.50 a mile in a Lamborghini Urus.

8. Cancellation

You may cancel free of charge up to 7 days before your hire begins, and your rental payment will be refunded in full. Cancellations made within 7 days of the start of the hire are considered individually, and charges up to the full rental cost may apply.

9. Delivery and collection

Delivery to and collection from Heathrow Airport are complimentary. Other locations are charged each way at the prices shown on our delivery page or as quoted. Please be available at the agreed time and place, with your licence and identification.

10. Fuel and charging

Please return the car with the same level of fuel or charge as it was delivered with. Any shortfall is charged at the cost of replacing it, with no admin fee.

11. Fines and penalties

You are responsible for all parking, traffic, congestion and emission-zone charges and penalties incurred during your hire. Where possible, liability is transferred to you; otherwise the amount is passed on at cost. We do not charge an admin fee.

12. Travel abroad

Cars may only be taken outside the UK with our written agreement in advance and the additional £2,500 deposit.

13. Insurance, damage and use of the car

Fully comprehensive insurance is included, subject to the conditions and any excess set out in your rental agreement. Damage, late returns, cleaning, smoking, pets and any other matters arising from the hire are assessed individually in line with your rental agreement. Please report any accident, damage or fault to us immediately.

14. Complaints

If anything falls short, please contact us on 0330 043 7677 or at info@sealeycarrentals.com and we will put it right wherever we can.
