Your hire of any vehicle from us is subject to the terms and conditions of vehicle hire imposed by Isleofmancarhire.com and to the corresponding laws of the Isle of Man.

If there is any part that you, the renter, do not fully understand, or if you have a query about the vehicle hire or any other product, please contact us in writing using the e-mail address provided.
There may be some circumstances where we do not know whether a particular vehicle is available. This will be clearly indicated either before or after you, the renter, have sent your request through.

What is included in the price?
Rates include unlimited mileage, collision damage waiver (see note below re CDW), Comprehensive insurance (see IMPORTANT NOTE BELOW), theft waiver, local taxes and airport fees.
Please read the specific terms and conditions
CDW
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) reduces the renter's liability from the total cost of the damage, to an excess amount where applicable unless the renter intentionally causes the damage, is under the influence of drink or drugs or uses the vehicle in a prohibited or negligent way e.g. driving off main roads or hiring to other parties. CDW covers liability for damage to the vehicle or its parts and accessories. Windscreens, tyres, under carriage, replacement locks, replacement keys, key remotes and use of the vehicle for towing, racing, rallying, competition or pace making are not covered under the insurance policy. Other exclusions may apply so we recommend checking with our office at the time of collecting the vehicle what the exclusions are.
Theft Waiver
(TW) reduces the renter's liability in the event of theft or damages caused due to theft or attempted theft of the vehicle to NIL charge where applicable. Negligence connected with the theft of the vehicle may lead to Isleofmancarhire.com requiring the full amount for the cost of the vehicle.
Optional Insurance Excess Reduction
(IER) is an optional insurance available charged daily which further reduces the renter’s liability down from the excess amount to a revised lower amount currently “Nil”. In addition, acceptance of the (IER) charge also currently includes the provision to nominate one additional driver for approval by the local Supplier for the period of hire.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Please check carefully the details of the insurance provided by our local supplier. For peace of mind, Isleofmancarhire.com strongly recommends that you, the renter take out holiday insurance

What Is Not Included In The Price?
Fuel, the Insurance excess amount,  Personal Accident Insurance although the renter is insured by a Fully Comprehensive Insurance Policy held with Royal Sun Alliance and is insured in respect of all passengers carried. Personal accident insurance is not an insurable option available, special request items such as more than one child seat, , out of hours charges (unless specified at the time of booking and specified on the voucher), garaging, parking and traffic fines, additional driver charges (unless specified at the time of booking and specified on the voucher) where applicable. All optional additional costs are payable locally. An optional insurance (Excess reduction insurance) is available and payable locally to reduce or waive the renter's liability.

Personal Accident Insurance
This insurance is not available although it may be covered by your independent holiday insurance (check before you, the renter, travel). If you require PAI, you should speak to your independent Insurance Adviser.
Local Deposits & Petrol
Our local suppliers require a deposit at the start of the rental to cover petrol, liability excess and other charges incurred during the hire. A valid major credit card will be required in most cases and must be in the lead driver's name. Provided the car & extras are returned in the same state as rented & in accordance with the fuel policy, this deposit will be refunded when returning the vehicle. Please note some local rental companies operate a fuel policy where you, the renter, must purchase a known small quantity of fuel supplied in the vehicle at the commencement of hire (approx 6 litres) & return the vehicle empty - in these circumstances there is no refund for unused fuel.
Out of hours charges
At airport locations flights will be met and cars supplied outside of normal working hours. However, there may be an additional charge for this service, which will be payable to the local supplier (unless specified on the voucher). We will advise you, the renter, whether a charge will apply when you confirm your pick up times in your booking request. In the event that a flight is delayed, causing the car pick-up to fall outside normal working hours, the additional charge will be made locally, where the out of hours service is available. Isleofmancarhire.com can accept no further responsibility where there is no out of hour's facility available and it is therefore recommended that you, the renter, take independent travel insurance.
Minimum/Maximum Age Limitations
The minimum hiring age is 23 years and under 75 at the time of hire having held a full car driving Licence for a minimum period of 12 months. Where the correct driver age has been submitted with the booking request we will advise of any problems anticipated. Minimum age requirements on larger car groups may also be increased. Please contact us if you, the renter, have any questions or concerns on this matter.
Additional Drivers
Charges apply for additional drivers, payable locally (unless specified at the time of booking and specified on the voucher). Additional drivers are nominated by the renter and elected/ approved by the supplier in writing. Under no circumstances should anyone operate the vehicle until their application to drive has been approved in writing by the supplier.  
Period of Hire/Daily Rate Calculation
Hire periods are calculated on a 24-hour basis. After collection of the car, an extension of the hire period and late returns will be supplied and charged for by the local supplier at the local daily tariff (which may be considerably higher).
Early Return/Rental Extension

If you, the renter, wish to extend the rental period after collection of the car, or if you return the car later than stated on your voucher, you will be contracting with and charged by the local supplier at the local daily rate, which may be higher than our rates.
