Weekend car rental: Red Shift

The Red Shift: Weekend car rental

For a car for the weekend, here is what the Red Shift brings, and how to request one. Rental days starting Friday or Saturday use the weekend day rate.

The numbers in plain words

No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Renting this car

No Red Shift is in our fleet today; ask for one in a request and we search for your dates. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. Ask for your dates, and we reply with what we can offer. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.

The steps

Pick the car and the dates that suit you, then send a request. There is no payment at that point. We confirm the details and send an offer. It lists the rental, any delivery and any add-ons. Nothing is charged until you approve it and pay.

Prices on each car's page are before tax, and the offer adds the tax. The longer the booking, the lower the rate a day tends to be. The shortest notice we accept before a pickup is 2 hours.

Checking your details

At pickup you must be 18 or older and carry your original G2 or G licence. The daily young driver fee is shown on each car's page, for drivers under 26. Bring the card you paid with and your original licence to the handover.

Damage to the car is handled one of three ways: OPCF 27 on your policy, a credit card's rental car benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Deposits differ by car. Each car's page shows its amount. Extra drivers are welcome; each one is checked and signs the agreement.

Ready when you are

Look through the cars, choose one, and send a request when it suits you.
