What if I want to cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

Our cancellation policy depends on the type of booking you have with us:
 
Monthly Rolling Bookings
Let us know in writing (using this web form) that you'd like to cancel at least 7 days before your renewal date. If you miss this deadline, you may have to pay for the following month too. For new bookings, please tell us at least 72 hours before the booking start date to cancel without charges. If you let us know with less than 72 hours' notice, fees will apply.

Fixed-term Bookings (3-24 months)
All we require is a 14-day notice after your 3rd month,
 
If you'd like to cancel within the first 3 months you have a 14-day cooling-off period, which starts when your booking is confirmed, which starts when your booking is confirmed, to cancel without charges. Collection costs and pro-rata hire fees may apply if the car has been delivered during the 14-day period. You will also be liable for an excess mileage fee in case the mileage allowance is exceeded. 
 
After the cooling-off period, you'll need to pay an early termination fee to cancel. The early termination fee will be 20% of your outstanding booking cost or one month's payment – whichever is higher. For more detail on cancellations, get in touch with our team using this web form.

Question 5

Can I use my own insurance?

Accepted Answer

1) Select a car and the type of subscription you want
Customise your subscription with the mileage, duration and delivery option you want. On the insurance option, choose “Not included - add your own policy”. Complete all the steps of the normal subscription process on our website.
 
2) Get approved!
Once you select a car, your Drover profile will be assessed by our Approvals Team so all checks can be made and your account can be approved. You can read more about these checks here. 
 
3) Find the right cover
Use the car VRN and value details we provide to shop around for suitable comprehensive covers. You must inform the insurer at the application stage that you are neither the owner or the registered keeper of the vehicle, and that in case of a total loss, your insurer must compensate the lawful owner of the vehicle for its market value directly.
The comprehensive policy you’d like to propose for assessment must meet or exceed the following criteria: 
You must purchase a comprehensive motor policy
The main policyholder must also be the main driver on the subscription
We do not accept telematics-based products
The policy must start on or before your vehicle delivery date
In the event of a total loss, your policy must cover the market value of the vehicle
Your excess must be below £1,500
You must tell your insurer that you lease the vehicle and are not the keeper or owner
For comparison, our Insurance Product Information Document can be found here.
 
Extra tip - send your quote to info@allseasonrental.co.uk 
This is not a mandatory step, but you can send us your quote prior to completing the insurance purchase. We are happy to assess if it fulfils our requirements and advise if any change should be made. If you need to request a change in your insurance policy after completing the purchase, an admin fee might be applied. 
 
4) We’ll review everything
Please send us the following documents in order to get your policy approved: 
Certificate of Motor Insurance
Policy Schedule
Insurance Product Information Document (IPID)
We may also ask you for your full policy wording later if we require it. We’ll review your submission in 24 hours and let you know by email whether we accept or reject your proposed policy. If we decline the policy, you can try and find a more suitable alternative, or just cancel free of charge if you don’t wish to proceed.
 
5) Booking confirmed!
Once we have received your policy documents and are satisfied that everything is in order, we’ll confirm by email and arrange for your car to be delivered.

Question 9

When will my subscription payments be taken?

The first month's subscription payment, joining fee and any delivery fees are charged as soon as your account (including any additional drivers) is approved and your vehicle has been confirmed. This will be on average 1-4 days after you've placed your subscription. Please have the required amount available within this timeframe as we will take the payment as soon as the above steps have been completed.
 
If you can't make the first payments within the timeframe above please let us know as soon as possible as we will be able to advise you on how to proceed.
If the first payment attempt fails, we will notify you that we have 24 hours to try again or your subscription may be cancelled.

All future monthly payments will be taken the day before your next monthly renewal date. I.e. if your car was delivered on the 15th, your monthly payments will be on the 14th of each month.
