Welcome to Walkden Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your access to our website and vehicle rental offerings. 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 when picking up your vehicle. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance provisions, applicable charges, and your responsibilities 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 Walkden, you must be at least 21 years old, though age requirements may differ based on the vehicle type. A valid driving license, appropriate for the vehicle category and held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement, is necessary. Additionally, valid identification and proof of your current address must be provided. Payment information and a security deposit are also required. Please review the Rental Agreement for any extra criteria that may apply.
3. Reservations and Payment
- Reservations can be arranged via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Walkden office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT when applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment platforms.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collecting your vehicle, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be created and must be signed by both parties. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and additional charges may apply. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as when collected; refueling fees will be charged for any deficit. Late returns may result in extra charges, so notify us promptly if you expect to return the vehicle late. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, and related charges incurred during your rental, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. You can find full coverage details and any excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Options for additional insurance may be available to lower your financial liability. It is important to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless you opt for extra coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will remain your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional fees.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited vehicle uses:
- Vehicles rented from Car Hire in Walkden must not be used for any illegal activities. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in hazardous driving. Transporting dangerous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting to others or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, vehicles should not be used for purposes they are not designed for, nor should passenger or weight limits be exceeded. Driving outside the specified geographical limits requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Walkden is not responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business resulting from your use of our services.
