Welcome to Biggleswade Car Hire. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By utilizing our services, you agree to these terms.
Car Hire Agreement
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 specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, charges, and your obligations for the rental period. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Requirements for Vehicle Rental
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Biggleswade, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category, is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit are necessary, as well as any other conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be arranged via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Biggleswade office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required at the time of vehicle pick-up. All charges are listed in British Pounds (£) and include applicable VAT. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Biggleswade, 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 car. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may result in additional charges. The vehicle must be returned with the same fuel level as at the start of the rental; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns could incur extra charges, so please inform 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 your rental, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Policy
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. Specific coverage details and excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to lower your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for damages or losses up to the insurance excess unless further coverage is obtained. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any actions deemed dangerous. Transporting hazardous materials or sub-letting the vehicle to others is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, using the vehicle for unintended purposes, exceeding weight or passenger limits, and operating outside designated geographical areas without prior consent are strictly against policy.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire Biggleswade will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits or data, resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the rental amount paid in the past year. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
Biggleswade Legal Framework
These Terms are regulated 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 being posted on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
