Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your responsibilities for that rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Altrincham requires:
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Altrincham, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions can vary by vehicle type, with extra fees applying for those under 25. A valid and full driving licence, held for the duration stated in the Rental Agreement, is required. Additionally, customers must present valid identification, proof of their current address, and provide payment details along with a security deposit. Any further requirements will be specified in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations for car hire can be arranged via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Altrincham office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are required upon vehicle pickup. All pricing is listed in British Pounds (£) and includes VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Altrincham, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed to document the state of the car. Upon returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged appropriately. Ensure the fuel level matches that of the collection to avoid refueling charges. Late returns may result in additional fees; please notify us promptly if you expect to return the vehicle later than agreed. 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 Terms
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every rental. Full details regarding coverage and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Options for additional insurance may be available to limit your financial liability. Review these options carefully. You will be liable for damage or loss up to the excess amount unless additional coverage is obtained. 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 given. For precise details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional fees.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is prohibited. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-road driving, or other risky behaviors is not allowed. Transporting hazardous materials or sub-letting the vehicle to others is also forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly against policy. Ensure adherence to designated passenger and weight limits, and do not operate the vehicle outside of agreed geographical boundaries without prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
