Welcome to Car Hire Newton-le-Willows. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to the terms outlined herein.
Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals in Newton-le-Willows are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided during booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your responsibilities for 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 requires:
- To rent a vehicle in Newton-le-Willows, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. Drivers under 25 may incur extra charges. A valid driving licence for the relevant vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Payment information and a security deposit must also be provided, as well as any other conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be completed via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Newton-le-Willows office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are usually payable upon collecting the vehicle. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT when applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed through established payment providers for your security.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Newton-le-Willows, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be generated and signed to document this assessment. The vehicle must be returned in the same state as it was collected, considering normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Please return the vehicle with the fuel level matching that at the time of pickup, as refueling charges will apply if the tank is not full. Late returns can result in extra fees; if you anticipate a delay, contact us immediately. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges accrued during the rental period, along with a nominal administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Full coverage details and excess amounts will be outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to lower your financial exposure. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, except where additional insurance applies. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up could incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Use of the vehicle for any illegal activities is strictly prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in other potentially dangerous actions. The transport of hazardous materials, sub-letting to others, or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and driving beyond designated geographical boundaries without permission are also prohibited.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
Liability Limits
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire in Newton-le-Willows will not be responsible 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 capped at the total amount paid for the rental in the past 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
Local Legal Framework
