Welcome to Bexleyheath Car Hire. These Terms of Service outline the rules for using our website and vehicle rental services. 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 at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines the terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your responsibilities for the rental. Should any discrepancies arise between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle with us requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Bexleyheath, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, and additional fees may apply for drivers under 25. You are required to possess a valid full driving license that meets the stipulations outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, valid identification and proof of your current address must be presented. Payment information and a security deposit are also necessary, along with any other requirements detailed in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be arranged via our website, by phone, or directly at our Bexleyheath office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and security deposit are generally payable at the time of vehicle collection. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Bexleyheath, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be filled out and signed to document the state of the car. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. The vehicle should also be returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling charges will apply if the fuel level is lower. If you expect to return the vehicle late, notify us as soon as possible, as late returns may incur additional fees. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that occur during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in Bexleyheath
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance, with full coverage details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial liability. It is beneficial to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless you opt for extra coverage. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
Bexleyheath Car Hire Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice given. For specific information, please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities. This includes racing, off-roading, or other dangerous driving practices. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not permitted. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should only be used for its intended purpose, respecting passenger and weight limits. Travel outside the agreed geographical area requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms could lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire in Bexleyheath is not responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business related to your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the rental amount paid in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
