The Damage Waiver – do you dare gamble?

2023/08/17

I take note of any article I see about the rental industry and in particular the selling of waivers at the rental counter or added on when you book online. Often these articles are written...

Shopping local has never been more important

2023/04/03
You’ve probably heard the phrase ‘shop local’ before. I was given a stark reminder recently of just how important this is.

How much is ULEZ costing your business?

2022/04/12

Coupled with the congestion charge zone, it could soon become very expensive to enter the capital in your older vehicle. And London is not the...

What’s in a name?
