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 these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Upminster are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance details, fees, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In cases of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the latter will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria for Upminster
Renting a Vehicle in Upminster
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Upminster, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. Drivers under 25 may incur additional charges. A valid, full driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is required, held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. You will also need to present valid identification, proof of your current address, and payment details, including a security deposit. Any further requirements will be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or in person at our Upminster location. A deposit may be required to confirm your booking. The total payment and any security deposit are generally due upon vehicle collection. All pricing is listed in British Pounds (£) and includes VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage right away. We will complete and sign a vehicle condition report to document the initial state of the vehicle. When returning the car, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure that the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at pickup; refueling charges will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may incur extra fees, so please notify us promptly if you anticipate a delay. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
5. Insurance and Liability Guidelines
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. For comprehensive coverage details and the applicable excess amounts, please refer to your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial responsibility. It’s important to review these options carefully. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless additional coverage is selected. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment terms differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For detailed information, please review your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle may not be used for any illegal activities or purposes. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or similar hazardous activities is prohibited. Transporting dangerous materials, subletting to others, or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Vehicles must not exceed passenger or weight limits, nor should they be driven outside designated geographical areas without prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to immediate rental cancellation and fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire in Upminster 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 will not exceed the amount you paid for the rental in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or for fraudulent activities.
9. Local Legal Framework
These Terms are regulated by English and Welsh law. Any disputes will fall under the jurisdiction of the courts in England and Wales.
10. Terms Modifications
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon publication on our website. Continued use of our services indicates your acceptance of the revisions.
