What if you don’t use all your bolt-on mileage?

  • At the end of each month, we turn any unused miles into mileage credit and add this to your account. 
  • The credit will be available to use for the next 12 months, even if you cancel your subscription then sign up again.
  • You can only use the credit for your current car and cars from the same tier.
  • The credit can’t be transferred if you swap to a car from a different tier.

What if you go over your bolt-on mileage?

If you go over your mileage for the month and don’t have any credits available from previous months, you’ll have to pay an excess fee. 

For every extra mile you drive, you’ll be charged:

Tier 1 cars - 40p per mile
Tier 2 cars - 50p per mile
Tier 3 cars - 75p per mile
Tier 4 cars - £1 per mile

How many bolt-ons can you add per month?

You can now buy more than one Mileage bolt-on per month! All you have to do is complete this form, and we’ll take care of the rest.  Please note, you are limited to adding a maximum of 1,000 miles per month, in addition to your base monthly mileage allocation. Past this limit, you will be charged per mile (overage). Bolt-ons are non-refundable.

Please note: If you have reached your mileage limit, including the standard 750 miles plus optional bolt-ons up to an additional 1,000 miles, any extra miles driven could result in your hire agreement being cancelled.
