Lawful Basis for Processing
We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so. The lawful bases we rely on include:
Contractual Necessity
Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract (vehicle rental agreements).
Legitimate Interests
Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests in operating and improving our business, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
Legal Obligation
Processing is necessary for compliance with legal obligations to which we are subject, including tax and regulatory requirements.
Consent
Where we rely on consent, we ensure it is freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time.
Your Rights Under GDPR
Right of Access
You have the right to obtain confirmation whether we are processing your personal data and to access that data along with supplementary information.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to have inaccurate personal data corrected and incomplete data completed.
Right to Erasure
In certain circumstances, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data, including when:
- The data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected
- You withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing
- You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
- The data has been unlawfully processed
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request restriction of processing in specific situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing.
Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on consent or contract and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
Rights Related to Automated Decision Making
We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

To exercise any of your GDPR rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month, though this may be extended by two additional months in complex cases.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe we have not handled your personal data appropriately.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:
- Encryption of data in transit and at rest
- Regular security assessments
- Access controls and authentication measures
- Employee training on data protection
Data Breach Notification
In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach.
International Data Transfers
Your personal data is processed and stored within the United Kingdom. If we transfer data outside the UK or EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with GDPR requirements.
