1.17 Hire vehicles

If your vehicle is going into a garage for service or repair and is likely to take more than one
day we ask that you make sure to request a courtesy vehicle at the time of booking. If the
work is of a critical nature and a courtesy is not available, please contact Lombard for a hire
vehicle.

• Check any Hire vehicle for damage before driving it. Contact the hire company if you
notice anything that is not on the delivery documents
• If any damage is incurred while a courtesy/ hire vehicle is in your care this
should be reported to the Fleet Management Team straight away.

Where installed, telematics enables monitoring of violation of posted speed limits. An app is
available for you to download and monitor your individual driving style to improve your
