Welcome to Car Hire Preston. These Terms of Service govern your access to our website, carhirepreston.co.uk, and our vehicle rental offerings. By engaging with our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals through Car Hire in Preston are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or when you pick up your vehicle. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance particulars, charges, and your obligations related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the latter will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle with us requires:
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Preston, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. You must possess a valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category, which should be held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of current address are required, along with payment information and a security deposit. Additional criteria may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or at our Preston office. A deposit may be required to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. Major credit and debit cards are accepted, with transactions processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is crucial to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by both parties. Vehicles should be returned in the same condition as received, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated, and charges will apply as necessary. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will be imposed for lower levels. Late returns may incur additional fees, so please contact us if you expect to return the vehicle late. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every rental from Car Hire Preston. Specific coverage details and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to further limit your financial responsibility. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess unless additional coverage is purchased. Responsibility for damages resulting from negligence or misuse remains with you, regardless of insurance.
6. Cancellations and Modifications
Cancellation and modification policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For detailed information, please refer to your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in hazardous activities. Transporting dangerous materials, sub-letting to others, or permitting unauthorized drivers is prohibited. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. Vehicles should be used for their intended purposes only, adhering to passenger and weight limits. Additionally, driving outside the agreed geographical boundaries without authorization is not allowed.
Breach of terms may lead to immediate rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent permitted by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Preston will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, that may arise from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claim is limited to 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. Applicable Law
These Terms are subject to the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be resolved exclusively in the courts of England and Wales.
10. Updates to Terms
We reserve the right to amend these Terms at any time. Updates take effect immediately upon being posted on our website. Continued use of our services indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.
