Welcome to Walkden Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By utilizing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Walkden are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your obligations related to the rental. In the event 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 from Car Hire in Walkden, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for drivers under 25. You need a valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category, held for the minimum duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of current address are required, along with payment information and a security deposit. Additional requirements specified in the Rental Agreement must also be met.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be completed via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Walkden location. A deposit may be required to confirm your booking. The total payment and security deposit are usually collected at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT when applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed by both parties to document the state of the car at pickup. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as it was received, allowing only for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional costs. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as when collected; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns could result in extra charges, so please inform us immediately if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with an additional administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All car rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. Full details regarding coverage and excess amounts will be outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be accessible to limit your financial responsibility. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless additional insurance is obtained. Responsibility for damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms rests with you, regardless of your insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the booking type and the notice period provided. For precise details, please consult 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 must not be used for any unlawful activities or purposes. This includes racing, off-roading, or any dangerous driving practices. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should only be used as intended, adhering to passenger and weight limits. Driving outside of the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
