Welcome to Hereford Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website carhirehereford.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By accessing 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 agreement outlines the terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your responsibilities associated with the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take priority.
Eligibility Criteria
Rental Vehicle Requirements
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Hereford, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. You need a valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category, held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, valid identification and proof of your current address are required, along with payment information and a security deposit. Please review the Rental Agreement for any further requirements.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Hereford location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pick-Up and Drop-Off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Hereford, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by both parties. You are expected to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as received; refueling charges will apply for any discrepancies. Be mindful that late returns could result in extra fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines or traffic violations incurred during the rental, along with a related administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Details
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance coverage. You can find comprehensive details and excess amounts in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your potential financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for damages or loss up to the excess amount unless you opt for extra coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these terms remains your responsibility, regardless 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 Uses of Rental Vehicle
- Usage of the vehicle for any unlawful activities is strictly prohibited. This includes racing, off-roading, or any activities that pose a risk. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized individuals to drive is forbidden. Driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle must only be used for its intended purposes and within set passenger and weight limits. Travel beyond agreed geographical boundaries requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Hereford will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, related to your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims is limited to the amount you paid for your rental in the past 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
9. Local Jurisdiction
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be resolved exclusively by the courts in this jurisdiction.
10. Amendments 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.
