DATA PROTECTON

To comply with the Data Protection Act we would like to advise you that the information you supply to the car rental centre, including any sensitive information you give us, will be used to process your booking and to ensure that your car hire arrangements run smoothly.

To do this we will have to share your details with our rental partners, branch network and insurers. This may involve sending your details to countries that do not have an equal level of privacy legislation as the UK.

Your details may also be used for business analysis, improving customer service and the prevention of crime.

We will never sell your details to third parties for marketing purposes. However, as we are part of a larger travel group, we may transfer information (excluding sensitive information) to other businesses owned by the car rental centre, to keep you informed about their products or services.

You may opt out of receiving such marketing information via mail, telephone or by advising a member of our reservations staff. If you wish to receive marketing information via e-mail or SMS please advise a member of our reservations staff. By booking with us you agree to the use of your information as set out above, and those of any individual who form part of your booking.

Finally, please note that you’re entitled to a copy of the information held by us. If you would like to see this, please ask (note that we may make a small charge for providing this to you).
