Cancellation & refund policy

Plans change. Here is exactly what happens when you cancel or amend a BNG hire, so there are no surprises. Cancellations are timed from the moment you confirm them in the client portal, against your booked pick-up time (UK time).

Refund tiers

More than 48 hours before pick-up

100% refund

Cancel from the client portal and the full amount is released — no admin fee.

24 – 48 hours before pick-up

50% refund

Half the hire charge is retained to cover the vehicle being held off the fleet.

Less than 24 hours before pick-up

No refund

The vehicle is already prepared and allocated to you, so the hire is charged in full.

No-show at pick-up

No refund

If we haven't heard from you within 2 hours of the pick-up time the booking is closed as a no-show.

Amendments are free

Changing your dates or times through Reschedule in the client portal is free at any point before pick-up. The booking returns to pending while our team reconfirms availability, and the price is recalculated at the same daily rate.

How refunds are paid

As no card is taken at booking, refunds only apply to amounts already paid. Where a payment has been taken, it is returned to the original method within 5 – 10 working days of the cancellation being confirmed.

Early returns

Bringing the vehicle back early does not reduce the hire charge on rentals of 7 days or fewer. On longer hires we refund whole unused days beyond the first 7, less a one-day handling charge.

Late collection

We hold your vehicle for 2 hours after the booked pick-up time. Let us know if you are delayed and we will hold it for the rest of the day at no extra cost.

If we cancel

If a vehicle becomes unavailable we will offer an equivalent or better vehicle at the same rate. If nothing suitable is available you receive a full refund, whenever the cancellation happens.

Promotional codes

Discounts applied with a promo code are refunded on the amount actually charged. Cancelling does not restore a single-use code, but our team can reissue one on request.

Cancel or change a booking

Every reservation can be cancelled or rescheduled from the client portal. If you need help, call our London team on 07541971754 or email admin@bngrentals.co.uk — cancellations made by phone are timed from the call.
