Conditions of hire:
Whether you are considering hiring for one event or ten, whatever the car, we believe it is useful to look at certain costs in certain ways. Items of cost can be split into easily defined categories - so you know where you are spending your money. Costs are split into the following areas: Per Kilometre Rate (PKR) - the rate applied for each competitive kilometre. Service truck, event labour & transportation charge - This charge is calculated based on each individual events circumstances. We generally recommend a minimum of four technicians on a world rally car and include traveling time within this charge. Financing charge - this fee is charged to cover car depreciation. Tyres & accident insurance - We cannot easily provide a quotation inclusive of tyre costs, since we cannot establish this prior to the rally. Insurance is quoted based on a specific driver profile and is charged as a addition.

We only offer a fully supported package, where driver and co-driver arrive and have their sport without hassle. We prepare and maintain our cars to the highest standards and pride ourselves on an almost 100% finishing record - (well accidents will happen!) On event support consists of a minimum of three technicians. We can also arrange for a management car and crew, and also hire you a proper recce car. A Prodrive contracted engineer is also available at additional charge. All major components are maintained in line with Prodrive rebuild schedules, so the cars should never let you down.
