Welcome to Kidderminster Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Kidderminster are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or vehicle collection. This document outlines key terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In cases of conflict between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Kidderminster requires:
- To hire a vehicle in Kidderminster, drivers must be a minimum of 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. A valid full driving licence is required, which must have been held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, valid identification and proof of address must be presented, along with payment details and a security deposit. Any further requirements will be specified in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be completed on our website, via telephone, or directly at our Kidderminster office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and any security deposit are usually payable upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure processing through trusted payment systems.
4. Vehicle Pick-Up and Drop-Off
- At the time of collection, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. We will complete and sign a vehicle condition report to document the state of the car. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may result in additional charges. Ensure that the fuel level matches what was provided at the start of your rental; refueling fees will apply if the level is lower upon return. If you anticipate returning the vehicle late, please inform us as soon as possible, as late fees may apply. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges that arise during your rental, along with a small administration fee.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. Comprehensive coverage details and applicable excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. Options for additional insurance are available to help lower your potential financial liability. It is beneficial to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless you opt for extra coverage. Responsibility for damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains with you, regardless of your insurance status.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice given. For specific information, please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional fees, so it's advisable to manage your reservations carefully.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- The vehicle may not be used for any unlawful activities. Activities such as racing, rallying, or off-roading are prohibited, along with the transportation of hazardous materials. Sub-letting the vehicle to others or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Additionally, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Ensure the vehicle is used only for its intended purpose, adheres to passenger and weight limits, and remains within the designated geographical areas unless authorized.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
