Self-drive hire for an occasion

A wedding, a graduation, a birthday: the brief is the car, not a counter.

What Motiv is

Self-drive Mercedes C-Class hire in Merseyside. Two founders, two cars at launch: a C 300 AMG Line in Obsidian Black and a C 220 d AMG Line in Polar White. You book in the app, pass checks, collect in person. No phone calls.

What sits in the day rate

Fully comprehensive motor insurance for the booked period sits in the hire fee. Valet time either side of the hire is built in — three hours — so the next renter does not collect a car that has just come back. Mileage is UK mainland for the occasion; there is no unpublished daily cap.

The contract

The signed hire agreement for that booking is the contract. These notes explain how Motiv operates, and how this kind of hire differs from a supermarket rental desk. They are not a substitute for the PDF you sign in the app.
