Can I hire a baby or booster seat?

If a customer has the Zero Liability and damages both the Tyres & Windscreen, do they have to pay for both?

No, Windscreen & Tyre protection can only be added during the booking process or at the time of vehicle collection, not after the rental has started.
Is this available to Broker Customers?
Yes, customers booking through third-party websites will be able to purchase this protection at the counter.
