Your role as a vehicle owner / supplier
Vehicle owners are responsible for looking after their own vehicle(s) during any event and making sure that they arrive at the agreed place on time. Vehicles must be clean and well presented and drivers must be polite and as helpful as possible to clients.

We will try to assist where possible in arranging an alternative vehicle.
Insurance
Vehicle owners are responsible for making sure that your vehicle(s) are fully taxed, MOT’d and fully insured for any event you take on board. Eg. If you plan on using your vehicle for weddings you must ensure that you extend your insurance policy to cover wedding hire / hire and reward. This can normally be added at a small additional charge to your classic vehicle policy. Star Car Hire is not responsible for insuring your vehicle and is not liable for any damage or accidents caused whatsoever.
