Welcome to our booking page. Enter the START date and END date in the box above the first car photo, no need to press search, then the availability will be shown for those dates.Or use the availability tab below photo of each car. The default price shown is for a self drive hire from 9am-6pm with one driver insured and the hirer collecting and returning from our Gosforth garages

If the car shows as "available", then press the BLUE "book now" button and you will be taken to the booking page.  If you want a 4 hour hire make sure you enter the appropriate code by clicking on the  "apply promo or voucher" button before you proceed and ensure you also press the blue apply button.

From the booking form you will be able to add on the 24hr option if required, also delivery/collection options or chauffered options.

There is a "clear" button if you need it, use this if you don't complete your booking or you will find that the car will appear to be booked if you go back later to try and make the booking.

If a car shows as "booked for this day" there is another booking for all or part of that day, you can call us to check if it may be available for the time that you require.

If the car shows as "unavailable..." then the probability is that the car is off the road for maintenance or for winter storage period.

IMPORTANT! We do not make our cars available over the winter from around mid November until late February.  This is to both protect the cars from damage caused by road salt and also to avoid hirers having a negative experience. The cars are best enjoyed in warmish weather over the March to November period. The heaters and demist systems in classic cars are generally very poor compared to modern standards. Safety is also very important, so poor visibility due to steamed up windows, potential for skidding on icy surfaces due to basic braking systems without ABS can be a real issue. Occasionally for short notice bookings when the weather is unseasonably mild we do allow cars to be used, but last year we still had snow into March.

To check the availability of each car you can click on the availability tab below the photo of that car. From the resulting calendar you can see the availability for each day, green is available, you can also book the car direct from the calendar.

For more information on our whole range of cars, or if you are having trouble understanding what dates to book in for your hire, see Prices.

We do change the cars in our fleet for various reasons, so we cannot guarantee availability of cars that are on our printed leaflets, our website will have the current range.

IMPORTANT: Using your gift voucher

Customers looking to spend their gift voucher should IGNORE the 'Apply Promo or Voucher' box that appears when the customer chooses a car to book unless they want a 4 hour hire on a Monday-Thursday. To apply the gift voucher  GCN code, continue with the order, filling in contact details etc. The prompt to input the voucher GCN code is after clicking 'Continue' once all required contact details have been input; this is on the 'Process Payment' page, and the 'Gift Certificate' link in the top left of the page should be used.

Gift Vouchers

If you are looking to book a car as a surprise gift, and therefore are not sure what dates/car would be more desirable for that lucky individual, we offer a range of gift vouchers.

The gift voucher can be used to pay for a booking for any of our cars, if the voucher is of lower value than the total cost of hire then the extra can be paid online when making the actual booking

If you do not spend the total credit on the gift voucher you received, the voucher will retain any remaining value.

Gift voucher codes are valid for 12 months from purchase dates, we do not refund vouchers, but if you are unable to find the time to use the car in the first 12 months then so long as you go online in the first 12 months and use the voucher to make a booking  you can book a date for anytime in the next year after the date of expiry. But you must go online and use the voucher before it expires! Once it has expired its too late, we cant extend it or refund it.

50% now, 50% later

For hires over £200 and more than 2 months to booking date we can take a 50% balance to book the car, then the other 50% balance a month before the booking date. Just book online following instructions above and on payment page pay 50% of total cost. Make a note to pay the balance a month before the hire start date, there is a pay now link on the booking deposit invoice you will receive by email when you book.
