Wilmslow Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement supplied at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, charges, and your obligations related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the terms in the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Wilmslow requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Wilmslow, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. A valid, full driving licence is required, which must be held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of current address must also be provided, along with payment information and a security deposit. Any further requirements will be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Terms
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or in person at our Wilmslow office. A booking deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required at the time of vehicle pick-up. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed through trusted payment providers for your security.
Vehicle Pick-Up and Drop-Off
- Upon collecting your vehicle in Wilmslow, please conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed by both parties to document the state of the vehicle. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when picked up, aside from normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. Ensure the fuel level matches what was provided at collection; refueling fees will apply if the tank is not adequately filled. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please inform us as soon as possible if you expect to be delayed. You will be accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administrative fee.
5. Insurance and Responsibility
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to help limit your financial liability, so reviewing these options is advisable. You remain accountable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional coverage applies. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is strictly prohibited. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-road driving, or other risky behaviors is not allowed. Transporting hazardous materials or substances is forbidden. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is prohibited. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. Do not exceed passenger or weight limits, and always adhere to agreed geographical boundaries without prior consent.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Wilmslow will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits or data, resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claim is capped at the amount you paid for your rental in the past year. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or for fraudulent activities.
9. Local Legislation
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will fall under the jurisdiction of English and Welsh courts.
