your driving freedom
You might have found already, that with Pivotal, the excitement doesn’t wear off. To ensure you are able to make the most of your time in your vehicle, here are a few things that will help inform you about both your membership and your vehicle. Don’t forget that the Pivotal team is here at any stage if you need anything.
The passive alarm system will activate after 60 seconds of leaving an unlocked vehicle with the key in your possession. If left unlocked the alarm will activate even if there are still people in the vehicle. This security feature will not lock the vehicle and will only set the alarm. Therefore, if you walk back to the vehicle and open the door, it will activate the alarm.
To disarm the passive alarm please press the unlock button on the key fob.
Fully comprehensive insurance is provided for the main driver and one additional named driver. For more information or to get a copy of the policy please contact us on [email protected].\n\nPrior to delivery, you can also opt to add an excess waiver to your Pivotal subscription for just £40 per month. As part of Pivotal’s inclusive insurance, the standard damage excess is £1,000 and for windscreens it is £250. But by opting to bolt on our excess waiver you’ll reduce your excess to £0 for both.\n\nPlease note the excess waiver can only be used while the vehicle is in your possession but will not apply once the vehicle is returned to Pivotal. Any insurance claims necessary must be fully completed prior to returning the vehicle to Pivotal.

Please note if you are planning to travel by ferry: every Pivotal vehicle has been fitted with a tilt sensor, this is a security feature designed to detect a theft attempt on your vehicle.The tilt sensor alarm activates if the vehicle is tilted fore and aft, or side to side, after it has been superlocked. If you wish to have the doors locked but the tilt sensor disabled (e.g. when aboard a ferry or having the vehicle transported on a recovery truck) press the lock button twice within three seconds.

The vehicle will then need to be booked into a JLR dealership for calibration following the fitting of the windscreen replacement. Please bear in mind that until your windscreen is calibrated, you will be without driving aids.

Your subscription includes a mileage limit of 1,500 miles/month. Mileage is cumulative so unused mileage from each month can be carried into the next month within a given subscription period. Mileage limits restart with every new vehicle subscription, they do not carry over from a previous vehicle.
If you exceed the mileage limit, additional charges are pro-rated.
Pivotal does not provide any accessories. Internal accessories such as car seats will have to be sourced personally.
The use of accessories without prior permission may result in extra charges being applied. If you would like to add external accessories like bike racks and tow bars, please speak to the Pivotal team who will advise on what we accept.
Any accessories installed to the infrastructure of the vehicle, that are not a standard feature, are not permitted on this service.
Keys should not be left unattended in vehicles. Aside from the obvious risk of theft, there are other mechanical implications this can have on the connection with the car. As part of a Jaguar Land Rover designed safety mechanism if a vehicle key is left unattended in the car for over 36 hours, the key will deactivate and it will not be able to start the car.
For example if you are using valet parking at the airport. Please ensure that the valet parking holds the keys securely externally of the car until your return, to avoid your keys from deactivating.
We ask you to pay your first month’s subscription payment two working days before the day of your vehicle delivery. Following delivery, you must set up a Direct Debit for all subsequent monthly payments which are then taken on the day of delivery each month.
E.g., You join Pivotal on 2nd May. Your car is delivered on the 16th of May. Your first subscription payment is due on the 14th of May then each subsequent monthly subscription payment will be taken by Direct Debit on the 16th of each future month.
You may also be liable for other charges and fees based on your usage of the vehicle or service. Please see your consumer terms for details. Any additional charges will be added to your invoice and taken by direct debit as part of you normal subscription payment.
When you are issued with a PCN or parking ticket, Pivotal will receive a notification from the issuer. We will then:
- Pay the PCN on your behalf at the lowest possible rate.
- Reach out and let you know we have received and paid a PCN in relation to your Pivotal vehicle.
- Send you the relevant documentation, including details of the issuer’s appeals process.
- Add the fine to your next invoice (refundable if appeal is successful), plus a non-refundable admin fee as per your consumer terms.
If you would like to challenge the Penalty Charge Notice, you can choose to do so directly with the issuer. If your challenge is successful, please send the evidence of this to Pivotal (in the form of a headed letter from the issuer) and we will refund the fine amount directly to you.
We are here to help! You can contact us at [email protected] or +44 (0) 20 3950 4833 and the team will be more than happy to help.
Our phone lines are open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
If we receive a speeding fine from one of our vehicles, we will record the associated customer’s details with the vehicle and send the notification back to the police. This will incur an administration fee as per your consumer terms.
Your subscription eligibility may be reassessed depending on how many points have accumulated on your license from when we last completed your eligibility check.
