Yes, you have to pay the London Congestion Charge in Fairview’s rented vehicles. Although our vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, only exceptional circumstances deem a vehicle qualified for exemption in the Congestion Zone. If you have not visited the area before, we are happy to help you set up a direct debit payment for the Congestion Charge.

Yes, every vehicle in Fairview Vehicle Hire’s fleet includes third-party liability insurance. This type of cover does not include protection against theft or damage, and does not insure you for business use. However, what it does cover includes:

• Defence costs for you if you receive a legal notice after an accident.
• Damage to other people’s property, including vehicles, buildings, lamp posts and fences.
• Medical expenses, legal costs and compensation for other drivers, passengers and pedestrians.

You can only use a hired vehicle for business and commercial purposes if you have business insurance. Social and Domestic third-party insurance will not cover you, your vehicle, or your goods for courier work. If you are using an incorrectly insured vehicle for these purposes, your insurer could void your insurance.

Contact us before you press book if you need a business-specific insurance policy. Our representatives are happy to help you get the coverage you need.
