Welcome to Car Hire Middlewich. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website and vehicle rental options. 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 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
Renting a vehicle requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Middlewich, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle. A full, valid driving license appropriate for the selected vehicle category is required, along with valid identification and proof of address. Payment details and a security deposit must also be provided, along with any other requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Middlewich office. A booking deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required at the time of vehicle collection. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, which are processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, a thorough inspection is required to identify and report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by both parties. It is your responsibility to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was received, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may result in additional charges. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as when collected; refueling fees will apply for returns with less fuel. If you believe you will be returning the vehicle late, contact us immediately to avoid extra charges. You are liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or fees incurred during your rental period, along with a processing fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. You can find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to lower your financial liability. We recommend reviewing these options thoroughly. You will be accountable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless covered by further insurance. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective 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 review your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited uses of the vehicle:
- The vehicle may not be used for any unlawful activities, including racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited, as is sub-leasing to third parties or permitting unauthorized drivers. Operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, using the vehicle for purposes it was not intended for, exceeding passenger or weight limits, or driving beyond the agreed geographical boundaries without prior consent is not allowed.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire in Middlewich will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our liability for any claims is limited to the total rental amount paid in the past 12 months. This limitation does not apply to cases of negligence resulting in death or personal injury, or to instances of fraud.
9. Local Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be handled exclusively by the courts of England and Wales.
10. Modifications 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.
