Washing and valeting our cars in between hires can be a hectic job. The teams work very hard to make sure cars are spick and span every time for the next renter. They often find property people have left behind in the vehicles. Nothing more annoying than leaving your wallet or ipod in the car and not realising until you’re on the plane! We often get anguished phone calls from airside customers or customers who have arrived home and realised they left a CD in the car.

Happily we’re almost always able to reunite possessions with their owners. Just this week, a customer arranged for a courier to pick up his sunglasses, a very expensive camcorder and a dog lead and have them returned to him in Japan! So we encourage you to always check the car before you leave it as we don’t accept liability for anything you lose as a result of leaving it behind.
