Welcome to Car Hire Westhoughton. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website carhirewesthoughton.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. 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 upon booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, charges, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle 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, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Payment details and a security deposit must also be provided. Additional conditions may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Westhoughton office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required upon vehicle pickup. 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.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection in Westhoughton, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as received, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may result in additional charges. Ensure the fuel level is the same as when collected; refueling fees will apply if the level is lower. Late returns may lead to extra charges, so please inform us promptly if you anticipate a delay. You will also be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with an additional administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance as standard. Details regarding coverage and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to minimize your financial risk. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount, unless you opt for additional coverage. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and how much notice is given. For specific details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Use of the vehicle for unlawful activities is strictly prohibited. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or any dangerous maneuvers is not allowed. Transporting hazardous materials or sub-letting the vehicle to others is forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a violation. Ensure the vehicle is used within its intended purpose, adheres to passenger and weight limits, and remains within agreed geographical boundaries unless authorized.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
