Welcome to Car Hire Horwich. These Terms of Service outline your usage of our website and 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 will be provided upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Requirements for Vehicle Rental
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Horwich, you must be a minimum of 21 years old; please note that restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category, is required, along with valid identification and proof of your current address. You will also need to provide valid payment details and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be specified in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Horwich location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. Prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely with 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 must be signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure that the fuel level matches what was provided at pick-up, as refueling fees will apply for vehicles returned with less fuel. If you anticipate returning the vehicle late, please contact us immediately, as this may incur additional charges. You will be responsible for any parking tickets, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. You can find complete coverage information and excess amounts in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to minimize your financial risk. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional coverage is purchased. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will be your responsibility, regardless of 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. Late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited uses of the rental vehicle:
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any dangerous driving practices. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not permitted. 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 agreed geographical area without prior authorization is also prohibited.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Horwich is not responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, that may result from your use of our services. Our maximum liability for any claims will not exceed the total amount you paid for the rental in the previous year. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or for fraudulent activities.
9. Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be resolved exclusively within the jurisdiction of the courts in this region.
10. Updates to Terms
We reserve the right to change these Terms at any time. Updates take effect immediately upon being posted on our website. Continued use of our services indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.
