Welcome to Wallington Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to abide by these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals come with a comprehensive Rental Agreement given at the time of booking or when you collect your vehicle. This document outlines the terms, conditions, insurance information, charges, and your obligations for the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement prevails.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle requires:
- To hire a vehicle in Wallington, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle chosen, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence for the relevant vehicle category is required, held for the duration stated in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, valid identification and proof of current address must be provided, along with payment information and a security deposit. Any further requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement must also be met.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or at our Wallington office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment and security deposit are generally due upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection, it is imperative to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be created and must be signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same state as it was collected, allowing only for typical wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Please ensure the vehicle is returned with the same level of fuel as when collected; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in additional charges, so please contact us if you anticipate a delay. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, in addition to an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Details
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. Details regarding coverage and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Options for additional insurance may be available to further limit your financial liability. Review these options carefully, as you remain responsible for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless additional coverage is obtained. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms is your responsibility, regardless of insurance status.
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 no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- The vehicle may not be used for illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other dangerous driving practices. Transporting hazardous materials or substances is prohibited. Sub-letting to others or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Operating the vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Vehicles should only be used for their intended purposes and must not exceed passenger or weight limits. Driving outside the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Wallington will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business resulting from your use of our services. Our liability for any claims will not exceed the rental amount paid in the last 12 months. This limitation does not apply to claims for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the relevant courts.
10. Updates to Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Continued use of our services indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.
