Standard Airport Rates: By selecting your required rental dates online, the system applies our most competitive rate for that specific period, taking into consideration the convenience of our Airport Terminal Desk & Park facility, the time of year and the period of hire, whether it be a week or longer, a week day hire or short off-peak weekend break.
“You’ll be guaranteed our best possible price for your specific request.”
Non-Premium Location Rates: Are competitive with non-Airport Operators. The rates are available throughout the Island providing the vehicle collection is Non-Airport Terminal. Similar to other Non-Airport Car Hire Operators, we too can collect you at your Hotel, from the front door of the Airport, the Sea Terminal or from a Private address and transfer your party in a Courtesy Minibus to our nearest office where you can complete the necessary paperwork before driving away. The advantage with Athol, is that you can still off-hire vehicles at the Sea Terminal or Airport Park at no additional cost but when collecting a vehicle on arrival, you will need to allow an additional 30 minutes to provide for the additional transfer time & paperwork at the nearest Office.
Non-Premium Courtesy Transfer Service: From Airport Terminal to Ballasalla Office is 0.5 miles. From Douglas Sea Terminal to our Douglas Office in Peel Road is 1.5 miles.
Both the Standard Airport Rates and Non-Premium Location Rates are fully flexible. You may change, amend or cancel your reservation up to 24 hours in advance without incurring any additional charges but it is not permissible to change from one tariff to another.
Due to peak demand for vehicles during certain Sporting Events held on the Island, a restriction for a minimum rental duration charge of 7 days may apply. Currently, those events effected are: The IOM TT Motorcycle Road Race Festival (usually week 1 June)
