Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Find clear answers to our most common customer questions about vehicles, payments, pick-up and drop-off, and more.

How do I browse vehicles and request availability?

You can review our typical vehicle types and examples on the Vehicles and Categories pages. When you are ready, submit your dates and preferences through the Booking page or contact us directly by phone or email. We will confirm availability and pricing before you commit.

What documents do I need to bring when collecting the vehicle?

Usually you will need: your full driving licence, an additional form of identification (such as a passport or ID card), and a payment card in the main driver’s name. In some cases, we may also request proof of address or online licence checks. We will confirm any extra requirements in your booking confirmation.

Can I add an additional driver?

Yes, additional drivers can normally be added, subject to the same eligibility rules as the main driver. Any extra drivers must be present at vehicle collection with their driving licence. Additional driver fees may apply; details are available on the Pricing page and in your quote.

How do pick-up and drop-off work?

Collection and return are usually arranged at our Birmingham address: 22 Athole Street, Birmingham, B12 0DA. Please arrive at your scheduled pick-up time with the required documents. At the end of your rental, return the vehicle to the agreed location, ensuring the fuel level matches your agreement. Our team will complete a quick inspection and finalise your paperwork.

What payment methods do you accept?

We typically accept major debit and credit cards in the driver’s name. Full details are outlined in the Billing & Payments section below. If you have any questions about payment methods or corporate billing, please contact us before confirming your booking.

How can I raise a concern or complaint?

If something has not gone as expected, please email [email protected] with your booking reference and a description of the issue. A member of our support team will review your case and respond with next steps. You can also request a follow-up call if you prefer to speak to us by phone.

Before your rental

Preparing in advance helps you enjoy a smooth collection and a comfortable start to your journey.

  1. Review your confirmation

    Check your pick-up time, location, vehicle category, and any extras (such as child seats or additional drivers). If anything needs changing, contact us as soon as possible.

  2. Gather required documents

    Ensure your driving licence, identification, and payment card are valid and ready. If we have requested any additional proof, bring that with you.

  3. Plan your route

    Consider your route from Birmingham or your starting point, including any planned stops and parking needs. If you would like guidance, our team can provide general route suggestions.

  4. Confirm any accessibility or special requests

    If you require specific vehicle features (such as automatic transmission or additional space), please highlight this before your pick-up so we can do our best to accommodate.

Support during your rental

Our duty of care continues for the full duration of your rental. If you need help while you are on the road, we are only a call or email away.

How to get help while travelling

  • General support: For non-urgent questions about your vehicle or booking, call +447346322008 during office hours or email [email protected].
  • Urgent issues: If you experience a serious issue or safety concern, please call us as soon as it is safe to do so. We will explain the next steps based on your location and the nature of the problem.
  • Roadside assistance: Many rentals include roadside support, either through us or a dedicated partner. Details are provided in your rental wallet or confirmation documents.
Always contact the emergency services first by dialling 999 if anyone is injured or if there is an immediate danger, and only then contact VIVO CARS LTD once you are safe.

Managing incidents & accidents

If you are involved in an accident, breakdown, or other incident, staying calm and following a clear process will help keep everyone safe and support a smooth resolution.

  1. Prioritise safety

    Move to a safe location if possible, switch on your hazard lights, and follow local guidance for roadside safety. Call the emergency services on 999 if anyone is injured or in danger.

  2. Contact VIVO CARS LTD

    Once safe, contact us on +447346322008. We will provide guidance tailored to the situation and confirm if roadside assistance or recovery is needed.

  3. Collect essential details

    Where it is safe to do so, record the date, time, location, and any other vehicles or parties involved. Take photographs of the scene and vehicle damage and note any witness details.

  4. Follow our documentation steps

    We may ask you to complete an incident report form and share copies of any photos or police references. This helps us process insurance and repairs accurately.

Do not admit liability at the scene of an accident. Provide factual information only, and allow insurers and relevant authorities to assess responsibility.
