Welcome to Kidderminster Car Hire. These Terms of Service outline the rules for using our website carhirekidderminster.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or when collecting your vehicle. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Rental Vehicle Requirements
- Drivers must be at least 21 years old, with age restrictions varying depending on the vehicle type. Additional charges may apply for drivers under 25. A valid, full driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, along with valid identification and proof of current address. Payment information and a security deposit must also be provided, along with any other conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Kidderminster office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment and a security deposit are generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be generated and signed to document this. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, with allowances for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. The vehicle must also be returned with the same fuel level; a refueling charge will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please contact us if a delay is anticipated. You are accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or costs incurred during your rental, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance. For comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts, please refer to the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to limit your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be held accountable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional insurance is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms 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, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of the Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities. This includes racing, rallying, off-road driving, or any risky maneuvers. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Additionally, sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Use of the vehicle must align with its intended purpose, and passenger or weight limits must not be exceeded. Driving outside of the designated geographical area without prior approval is also prohibited.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire Kidderminster is not responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business resulting from your use of our services. Our maximum liability for any claim will not exceed the total amount paid for the rental in the last 12 months. This exclusion does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
9. Local Legal Framework
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the jurisdiction of English and Welsh courts.
10. Updates to Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon being posted on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
