Urmston Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals in Urmston are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement supplied at the time of booking confirmation or when collecting the vehicle. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your obligations for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Urmston:
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Urmston, drivers must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with potential fees for those under 25. A valid driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category and held for the required duration, is necessary. Additionally, valid identification and proof of current address must be presented, along with payment details and a security deposit. Please refer to the Rental Agreement for any further requirements.
Booking and Payment Details
- Bookings for car hire in Urmston can be completed via our website, by phone, or by visiting our local office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. The remaining balance and a security deposit are usually required at the time of vehicle pick-up. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include applicable VAT. We accept major credit and debit cards, with transactions securely processed through trusted payment providers.
4. Pick-Up and Drop-Off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Urmston, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed to document its state. Upon return, the vehicle should be in a comparable condition to when it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. The vehicle must be returned with the same fuel level as collected; refueling charges will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please notify us in advance if you expect to return the vehicle later than agreed. You are also responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or related charges incurred during your rental, along with a nominal administration fee.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. There are additional insurance options available to lower your financial responsibility. It is beneficial to review these alternatives thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount, except where additional insurance applies. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse, as well as any breaches of these Terms, remain your responsibility regardless of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
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 missed appointments may incur fees.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses:
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, off-roading, or any form of reckless driving. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting to others or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, the vehicle should not be used beyond its intended design or exceed passenger and weight limits. Travel outside the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
