Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Wilmslow are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement presented at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance provisions, charges, and your obligations for that rental. In the event of any discrepancy between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Rental Vehicle Requirements
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Wilmslow, drivers must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions can vary depending on the vehicle type. A valid, full driving licence for the appropriate category is required, along with identification and proof of current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit are also necessary, along with any other conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made on our website, via telephone, or directly at our Wilmslow office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and a security deposit are usually payable at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with payments processed securely through trusted providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Wilmslow, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated, and charges will be applied as necessary. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as when collected; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. If you expect to return the vehicle late, contact us as soon as possible to discuss potential charges. You will also be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Policies
- All car rentals in Wilmslow come with basic third-party insurance included. For complete coverage information and details on excess amounts, please refer to your Rental Agreement. Optional insurance packages may be available, allowing you to lower your financial responsibility. Review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you have additional insurance. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Use Cases
Prohibited uses for rental vehicles
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities, including racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited, as is sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should only be used for its intended purposes and within specified passenger and weight limits. Exceeding geographical boundaries without prior approval is not allowed.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.

Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the rental amount you paid in the past year.
