Nobody likes a surprise on collection day. At Cargo Hire, we tell you exactly what your hire price covers — before you book, not after. As a family-run vehicle hire company in Rochester with over 35 years' experience serving Medway and the surrounding areas, we've built our name on honest, straightforward service. This page explains the essential cover and benefits that come as standard with every vehicle, so you can hire with complete peace of mind and genuine value for money.
When you ask us for a quote, you get one clear figure that covers everything you need for a safe, legal journey. No drip-pricing. No “extras” sprung on you at the desk.
Your quoted price includes:
Hire starts from just £29 per day, and we accept both cash and card (Visa and Mastercard). What we tell you is what you pay — simple as that.
Standard Insurance Cover
Every booking includes standard insurance as a matter of course. This protects you against third-party liability in the event of an accident, subject to the agreed excess. You can drive away knowing you have the correct legal cover for UK roads — no separate arrangements needed.
Roadside Breakdown Support
Mechanical faults can happen even with a well-maintained fleet. That’s why breakdown assistance comes with every hire. If your vehicle develops a fault, professional help is only a phone call away — so you’re never left stranded.
Value Added Tax
The price we quote is the price you pay. VAT is already included in all our rates for private and non-account customers. There are no surprise tax calculations when you settle up.
Mileage Allowance
Every hire includes a clear mileage allowance designed to suit most everyday journeys. Limits are set for daily, weekly and monthly agreements so you know exactly where you stand. If you need to travel further, we’ll agree a fair additional mileage rate before you set off.

Got a few questions before you book? Here are the ones we hear most often.
We'll explain your fuel policy clearly when you collect your vehicle, so there are no surprises on return. Our team is happy to talk you through it beforehand if you'd like to plan ahead.
Most journeys are fully covered by your standard quote. Optional extras — such as additional drivers or extra mileage beyond your allowance — are agreed upfront, so you always know the full cost before you commit.
Mileage options vary depending on the vehicle and the length of your hire. If you're planning a longer trip, just ask. We'll find an arrangement that suits your journey and keeps the cost clear. Still unsure about anything? Our friendly local team will happily clarify the details so you can plan your trip with confidence.
