Welcome to Car Hire in Stanford-le-Hope. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to comply with these terms.
Car Rental Agreement
All car rentals in Stanford-le-Hope will be governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement issued upon booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines 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 from Car Hire in Stanford-le-Hope, you must be at least 21 years old; age limits may differ based on vehicle type, and extra fees may apply for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, held for the minimum duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. You must present valid identification and proof of your current address, along with payment information and a security deposit. Any further requirements will be specified in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be arranged via our website, over the phone, or directly at our location in Dartford. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and security deposit are generally payable upon vehicle pickup. All prices are stated in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection, it is important to inspect the vehicle thoroughly and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and both parties will sign it to confirm the vehicle's state. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Ensure that the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level it had at pickup; otherwise, refueling fees will apply. Late returns can attract extra fees, so please notify us as soon as possible if you expect a delay. You are liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental period, along with a corresponding administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. You can find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available, which can help minimize your financial liability. It is important to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless you have opted for extra coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the given notice period. For detailed information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- Use of the vehicle for any unlawful activities is prohibited. This includes racing, off-roading, or engaging in hazardous driving practices. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. The vehicle may not be sub-leased or driven by unauthorized individuals. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Ensure the vehicle is used as intended without exceeding passenger or weight limits. Driving outside the specified geographical area requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
