Welcome to Car Hire Harborne. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By using our services, you agree to comply with these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement that will be provided during booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle with us requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Harborne, you must be at least 21 years old. Age restrictions may apply depending on the vehicle type, with extra charges for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence for the appropriate vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit are also necessary, as well as any additional conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or at our Harborne office. A deposit may be needed to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and a security deposit are usually payable upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection in Harborne, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be filled out and signed to document the state of the car. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, accounting only for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and additional charges may apply. Ensure that the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level; refueling fees will be imposed for any discrepancies. Late returns could result in extra charges, so please contact us right away if you expect to return the vehicle late. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental, along with an associated administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals through Car Hire in Harborne include basic third-party insurance. You will find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in your Rental Agreement. Consider exploring additional insurance options, which can help limit your financial liability. Note that you are liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you have opted for extra coverage. Responsibility for damage resulting from negligence or misuse rests with you, irrespective of your insurance policy.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. Please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement for the exact terms. Late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of the Vehicle
- Use of the vehicle for any illegal activities is prohibited. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or similar high-risk activities is not allowed. Transporting hazardous materials or sub-letting the vehicle to others is strictly forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. Adhere to the vehicle's intended use, including passenger and weight limits. Driving outside the agreed geographical area requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Harborne 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 claims is limited to the total rental amount paid in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Applicable Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the jurisdiction of the courts in this region.
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 acceptance of the revised Terms.
