Car Hire Terms of Service
Welcome to Car Hire Ashton-under-Lyne. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By utilizing our services, you agree to comply with these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Ashton-under-Lyne are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or upon vehicle collection. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, charges, and your responsibilities associated with your rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Ashton-under-Lyne requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Ashton-under-Lyne, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age limits may differ based on vehicle type, with potential extra fees for those under 25. A valid full driving license corresponding to the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of current address. Payment details must be provided, including a security deposit. Additional criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement must also be met.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Ashton-under-Lyne location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and a security deposit are usually payable upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through established payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Ashton-under-Lyne, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in a similar condition to that in which it was received, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated, and fees will be applied as necessary. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same amount of fuel as at collection; refueling charges will be incurred if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may attract extra fees, so please inform us promptly if you foresee a delay. You will be responsible for any parking tickets, traffic infractions, or other charges that arise during the rental, plus an associated administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in Ashton-under-Lyne
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. You can find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options are available to lower your financial liability. We advise reviewing these options thoroughly. You remain liable for damages or loss up to the excess amount unless additional insurance applies. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms is your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For specific details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Please be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited uses of the vehicle:
- Use of the vehicle is strictly prohibited for any illegal activities. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or other risky behaviors is not allowed. Transporting hazardous materials or substances is forbidden. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is unacceptable. Driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs is prohibited. Vehicles must only be used for their intended purposes, and adherence to passenger and weight limits is required. Operating the vehicle beyond agreed geographic boundaries without prior consent is not permitted.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire in Ashton-under-Lyne 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 is limited to the amount you paid for your rental in the past 12 months.
