Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations for the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the latter will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Borehamwood
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Borehamwood, you must be a minimum of 21 years old, though age limits may differ based on vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle, must be held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. You will need to present valid identification, proof of your current address, and payment information, including a security deposit. Additional requirements may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made easily through our website, by telephone, or directly at our Borehamwood office. A deposit may be required to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and a security deposit are generally payable upon vehicle collection. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with transactions processed securely by trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle, it is vital to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed at that time. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as received, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and billed appropriately. The vehicle should be returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may incur additional charges, so contact us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in Borehamwood
- Basic third-party insurance is included with all vehicle rentals in Borehamwood. Full details regarding coverage and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options might be available to limit your financial responsibility. Review these options thoroughly, as you will be liable for damages or losses up to the excess amount, unless covered by extra insurance. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance status.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rented Vehicle
- Prohibited activities include using the vehicle for illegal purposes or engaging in racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials or sub-letting the vehicle is not allowed. Additionally, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and operating outside designated geographical boundaries without permission are strictly forbidden.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, arising from your use of our services in Borehamwood. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the rental amount you paid in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not affect our 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 legal disputes will be resolved exclusively in their courts.
10. Updates to Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon publication on our website. Continued use of our services indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.
