Welcome to Car Hire Harborne. These Terms of Service outline the use of our website and 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 when collecting your vehicle. This document outlines the terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your obligations during the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Requirements for Vehicle Rental
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Harborne, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with potential extra charges for those under 25. A valid full driving licence for the appropriate vehicle category is required, held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Customers must also present valid identification and proof of their current address, along with payment information and a security deposit. Additional requirements may apply as stated in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations for car hire can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Harborne office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards through trusted payment processors.
4. Car Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed to document the state of the vehicle. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was picked up, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and appropriate charges will apply. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level it had upon collection; otherwise, refueling fees will be charged. Late returns may result in extra fees, so please inform us promptly if you expect to return the vehicle later than scheduled. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges accrued during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Details
- All car rentals in Harborne include basic third-party insurance. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. You may consider additional insurance options to lower your financial responsibility. It is important to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless additional insurance applies. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse is your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the booking type and the notice provided. For precise information, 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 Uses of Rented Vehicle
- The vehicle may not be used for any illegal activities. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or other dangerous pursuits. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting to unauthorized individuals or allowing unapproved drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is strictly forbidden. Avoid using the vehicle for purposes it was not intended for, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and driving outside the designated geographical areas without prior consent.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire Harborne is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims is limited to the rental amount paid in the past 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
Governing Law in Harborne
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of England and Wales.
10. Updates to Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect as soon as they are posted on our website. Continued use of our services indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.
