Welcome to Rushden Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website carhirerushden.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By using our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Rushden are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle requires:
- To hire a vehicle, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category, held for the minimum duration outlined in the Rental Agreement, is required. You must also present valid identification and proof of your current address, along with payment details and a security deposit. Any additional criteria specified in the Rental Agreement must be met.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made on our website, via telephone, or directly at our Rushden office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required when you pick up your vehicle. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure processing through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Rushden, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed by both parties. Upon returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged appropriately. The vehicle must be returned with the same fuel level as it was provided; refueling fees will be applied for lower levels. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please contact us promptly if a delay is anticipated. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges accrued during the rental period, in addition to an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Details
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every vehicle rental. For comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts, please refer to the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial responsibility. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for damage or loss up to the excess amount unless additional insurance is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the booking type and the notice given. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up could incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Your Vehicle
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is prohibited. This includes racing, off-roading, or engaging in any dangerous driving practices. Transporting hazardous materials or substances is not allowed. Sub-letting to others or permitting unauthorized individuals to drive is forbidden. Driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited. The vehicle must be used for its intended purpose only. Exceeding passenger or weight limits is not acceptable. Additionally, driving beyond the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Rushden 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 total liability for any claims will not exceed the rental amount you paid in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence, or for fraudulent activities.
9. Applicable Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of their courts.
Updates to Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Continued use of our services indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.
