Welcome to Wallington Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By using our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines essential terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your obligations regarding the rental. 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 Wallington, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ depending on the vehicle type. A valid full driving licence for the relevant category, held for the duration stated in the Rental Agreement, is required. You must also present valid identification and proof of current address, along with payment information and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations for car hire can be completed via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Wallington office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment, along with a security deposit, is usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. All charges are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept all major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment platforms.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Wallington, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed by both parties. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when collected, apart from standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and fees applied as necessary. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will be incurred for any discrepancies. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges that occur during the rental period, in addition to an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. You will find comprehensive details and excess amounts outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to help lower your financial responsibility. It is beneficial to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for damages or losses up to the excess amount unless additional coverage is in place. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
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 may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Your Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities or purposes. Engaging in racing, off-roading, or other dangerous maneuvers is prohibited. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is against our policy. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle must be used only for its intended purposes and within specified passenger and weight limits. Traveling outside designated geographical areas requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
Liability Limitations
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 total liability for any claim is limited to the rental amount paid in the past 12 months. This limitation does not apply to claims for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Local Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in these regions.
Updates to Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately when posted on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
