Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals in Weston-super-Mare are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement issued at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your obligations for the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Weston-super-Mare requires:
- To hire a vehicle in Weston-super-Mare, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions can vary by vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, along with proof of identity and current address. You will also need to provide valid payment details and a security deposit, adhering to any other requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Weston-super-Mare location. A booking deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required at the time of vehicle collection. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection in Weston-super-Mare, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and must be signed off. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as it was collected, considering normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as when you picked it up; otherwise, refueling charges will apply. Late returns may lead to extra fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges accrued during the rental period, in addition to an administration fee.
5. Insurance and Responsibility
- Basic third-party insurance is included with all rentals in Weston-super-Mare. Full coverage details and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options closely. You will be responsible for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless additional insurance is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless 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 information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.
