Welcome to Car Hire Erdington. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Erdington 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 coverage, and charges associated with your rental, as well as your responsibilities. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle requires:
- To rent a vehicle, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type, and additional fees may apply for drivers under 25. A valid, full driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Payment information and a security deposit must also be provided, along with any other requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Erdington office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include applicable VAT. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Erdington, you are required to thoroughly examine the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and both parties will sign it. Upon return, the vehicle should be in the same condition as when picked up, aside from ordinary wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and fees will be applied as necessary. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling charges will be incurred if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may result in extra fees, so please inform us immediately if you anticipate a delay. You are accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges that arise during your rental, along with a processing fee.
Insurance and Liability Coverage
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance coverage. You can find comprehensive details and excess amounts in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to lower your financial liability. It is beneficial to examine these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount, unless you opt for extra coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, regardless of existing insurance.
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 could incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is strictly prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any hazardous driving practices. Transporting dangerous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle should only be used for its intended purpose, adhering to passenger and weight limits. Driving beyond agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Erdington will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our maximum liability for any claims will not exceed the total amount you paid for your rental in the previous year. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury arising from negligence, or for fraudulent actions.
9. Local Legal Framework
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. All disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in these regions.
Updates to Terms
We may update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately once published on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
