Hertz Polestar 2 or equivalent: 1 week rental from Gatwick

£120 pounds plus £0.24 per mile. (Add £200 if you take the insurance waver and £60 for emergency recovery!)

Regarding the battery state on return:

We will record the EV’s battery status before you collect the EV and measure it again on your return. To avoid the recharging costs, we ask you to return the EV with at least the same level of charge or 80% (whichever is lower). If you return the EV with a level of charge lower than this, then we will recharge the EV for you. We will charge you for the cost of electricity used to recharge the EV plus a service charge (“Recharging Fee”) . The price per kW/h is indicated on the Rental Agreement and includes the Recharging Fee. If the EV battery status is below 10% on return an additional Service Fee will apply in addition to the Recharging Fee because this increases our turnaround times and involves staff time. Service Fee = +€25 (inc VAT)/sterling equivalent

So presumably if they get a car returned with less than 80% charge, then they will try and recharge before renting it again, but are prepared to send it out with less than 80% charge if they have to.
