Car Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Ashton-under-Lyne are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines important terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your responsibilities regarding the rental. In any case of inconsistency between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Ashton-under-Lyne requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Ashton-under-Lyne, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. A full, valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of current address. Payment information and a security deposit are also necessary, as well as any other requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations for car hire can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Ashton-under-Lyne office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance, along with a security deposit, is generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are stated in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where relevant. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle in Ashton-under-Lyne, it is crucial to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damages right away. A vehicle condition report will be filled out and signed by both parties. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as it was provided, accounting for ordinary wear and tear. Any new damages will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as when it was collected; refueling charges will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you expect to return the vehicle later than agreed. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges accrued during your rental, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to limit your financial liability. It is beneficial to review these options. You remain liable for damages or losses up to the excess amount unless additional insurance is purchased. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will be your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice 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.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited uses of rental vehicle:
- Use of the vehicle for any unlawful activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other dangerous maneuvers. Transporting hazardous materials or allowing unauthorized drivers is not permitted. Operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, adhere to passenger and weight limits and do not drive outside designated geographical boundaries without prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
