Late pick up or early return of the Vehicle does not entitle the Customer to any refund of the unused portion of the rental.

Oil and water Levels
The hirer/driver is responsible to check and maintain all fluid levels and must immediately rectify and report to Spaceships any defect of which you become aware however slight. Rectification means a fit and proper diagnosis and repair. Continued operation of the vehicle after a defect has occurred may lead to serious consequential damage to the engine for which you the renter will be held responsible and liable for full repair costs.
The risks of continued driving if your car begins to overheat, or if it has a known cooling system problem of any kind can be severe. If your temperature gauge moves in a direction that is a departure from normal, stop immediately, investigate and call Spaceships . Do not wait for it to cool and drive again as you may cause further catastrophic damage to your engine, for which you will be held liable. Driving with an inoperative temperature gauge voids all insurance coverage and may result in the hirer being held liable if overheating occurs.
Vehicle Availability
Vehicles cannot be requested by make or model, only by vehicle category.
The owner will endeavour to supply the vehicle category selected, however should the vehicle booked be unavailable through unforeseen circumstances, the owner reserves the right to substitute an alternative vehicle without prior notification. The alternative vehicle shall be as close a substitute for the booked vehicle as possible. The owner will reasonably determine what, if any, refund may be warranted if a vehicle substitution is required.
Should the hirer decide to take a lesser vehicle than booked they will not be entitled to any refund.
Where the owner cannot provide a vehicle for a confirmed reservation, the owner’s liability is limited to a refund of the unused portion of the rental fee only.
