How It Works

Booking is simple.

Contact us with your preferred dates, we'll confirm availability, and provide everything you need before collection. On collection we complete a vehicle handover and inspection before you begin your journey.

From first enquiry to keys in hand.

Four steps. No surprises.

i.

Send your dates.

Use the reservation page or send us an enquiry with the dates you'd like and the vehicle you'd prefer (we can advise if you're not sure).

ii.

We confirm availability.

We come back to you with confirmation, the documents we'll need, and everything else you'll want to know before collection day.

iii.

Vehicle handover.

On collection day we complete a thorough vehicle handover and inspection together. Ten to fifteen minutes — properly done.

How payment works.

Simple, transparent, and secured by Stripe. You'll always know what's charged and when.

Step 1 · At Booking

Hire fee paid in full.

You pay the hire fee at checkout via Stripe. Your card is saved securely so we can place the deposit hold on collection day — no need to hand over details again at the yard.

Step 2 · Collection Day

Deposit held, not charged.

We authorise a hold on your card for the refundable deposit — £500 for drivers aged 26 or over. For drivers aged 22–25 the deposit rises to £700 (young-driver surcharge of £200). The funds are reserved but not debited from your account.

Step 3 · Clean Return

Deposit released, same day.

Once we've inspected the vehicle and confirmed it's returned in good order, the hold is released immediately. Funds become available on your card within 1–7 working days depending on your bank.

If There's Damage

Only repair cost captured.

If there's damage on return, only the cost of the repair is captured from the deposit hold — the remainder is released back to you the same day. You'll receive an itemised invoice for anything charged.

All payments are processed by Stripe — we do not see, store, or handle your card details directly. Your card is authorised at booking under the terms above; you can review the full Security Deposit and Payment Terms sections of our Hire T&Cs.

Common questions.

Who can hire?

Drivers aged 22 to 75 who satisfy our insurer's requirements. We confirm at booking once we've seen your licence and DVLA summary.

Is insurance included?

Yes — comprehensive insurance is included as standard for approved drivers.

Are the vehicles cleaned between hires?

Every horsebox and trailer is cleaned and disinfected after each hire, using equine-safe disinfectant approved for veterinary settings.

What documents do I need?

Driving licence (photocard, in date), DVLA licence summary, proof of address (recent utility bill or bank statement under 3 months), and identification (passport or other photo ID).

Can I hire for emergencies?

Yes — subject to availability. Phone is fastest for these. We'll do what we can.

What about the deposit?

A refundable security deposit applies to horsebox hire. It's returned following a satisfactory return inspection.
