Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Westhoughton are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your obligations regarding the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle with us requires:
- To hire a vehicle in Westhoughton, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ depending on the vehicle type. A valid full driving licence, suitable for the vehicle category, is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Valid payment details and a security deposit are necessary. Additional criteria may be outlined in your Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Westhoughton office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment and security deposit are generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are stated in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed through secure payment systems.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Westhoughton, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed to document the vehicle's state. Upon return, the vehicle should be in the same condition as when it was collected, aside from normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Please ensure the vehicle is returned with the same level of fuel as at collection; refueling charges will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may incur additional fees, so please contact us in advance if a delay is anticipated. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or additional charges incurred during your rental, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Guidelines
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. You can find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to help lower your financial risk. It is wise to examine these options closely. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional insurance is purchased. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will remain your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur additional charges, which will be specified in your agreement.
