Our policy is to display the most appropriate vehicle within that particular category at any point in time. The definition of 'Or Similar' is the provision of a vehicle of comparable size, body type and rental value to the vehicle being displayed.

In the unlikely event that a vehicle from the category booked is unavailable Switch will supply a Free Upgrade. A Free Upgrade is defined as a vehicle which has a greater rental value than the category booked.
