Covid-19 and group hire..

Does anyone know whether Hirecos are allowed hire to groups of adults under the current covid regs ?  The group would be 6 or 7, consisting of one couple, the remainder being singles, and all aged between 58 and 75. I have emailed two hirecos so far, but not had any replies.. Has anyone on here successfully hired for such a group recently ?

As it's against the current regulations, I can't see any hire firm willing to do it.

1.3 What should I still avoid doing?

It remains the case that you should not:

  • socialise indoors in groups of more than two households (anyone in your support bubble counts as one household) – this includes when dining out or going to the pub
  • socialise outdoors in a group of more than six people from different households; gatherings larger than six should only take place if everyone is from exclusively from two households or support bubbles
  • interact socially with anyone outside the group you are attending a place with, even if you see other people you know, for example, in a restaurant, community centre or place of worship
  • hold or attend celebrations (such as parties) where it is difficult to maintain social distancing and avoid close social interaction – even if they are organised by businesses and venues that are taking steps to follow COVID-19 Secure guidelines
  • stay overnight away from your home with members of more than one other household (your support bubble counts as one household)

So if a group of 6, NOT against the regulations....

 

I'd class a narrowboat holiday as both socialising indoors and outdoors and as staying overnight with more than one (other) household ...

 

The list we have is one couple and up to 5 other singles, so six households in total.

Most if not all Hire co's have just put a blanket block on group hires for the time being.
