Rental car charge levied on vehicle use beyond what is considered normal (but never specified). It usually covers both exterior damage (such as dents and scrapes) and interior spoilage (such as upholstery stains). Also called excessive wear and use charge.

With HP, you pay a deposit up front, and then pay off the rest of the balance – plus the interest - in equal monthly instalments. The car is yours at the end of the agreement.
