Welcome to Upminster Car Hire Services. 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.
Rental Terms
All car rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Upminster
- To hire a vehicle in Upminster, you must be at least 21 years old, although age requirements may vary based on the vehicle type. Drivers under 25 may incur additional fees. A valid, full driving licence for the appropriate vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Valid payment details and a security deposit must also be provided. Please review the Rental Agreement for any further stipulations.
Booking and Payments
- Bookings can be made directly on our website, via phone, or in person at our Upminster location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required at the time of vehicle collection. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pick-Up and Drop-Off
- At the time of collection, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and signed off. Ensure that the vehicle is returned in the same condition as it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. The vehicle should be returned with the same fuel level present at collection; refueling fees will apply for lower fuel levels. Late returns may incur extra charges, so please contact us right away if you expect to be late. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges that arise during the rental, along with an administrative fee.
5. Liability and Insurance
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance coverage. You can find full details about the coverage and any applicable excess amounts in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help lower your financial liability. Review these options thoroughly. You are accountable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless you select additional coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of your insurance status.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges, which are outlined in your agreement.
