Welcome to Car Hire Halesowen. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By utilizing our offerings, you agree to these terms.
Halesowen Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Halesowen are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or when you collect your vehicle. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your responsibilities for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Requirements for Vehicle Rental
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Halesowen, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, with potential extra fees for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, valid identification and proof of your current address must be provided, along with payment information and a security deposit. Any further requirements will be detailed in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Halesowen office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and 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, ensuring secure transactions through established payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Halesowen, you are required to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage at once. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed to document the state of the car. It is your responsibility to return the vehicle in the same condition it was collected, allowing only for typical wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged appropriately. Ensure that the vehicle is returned with the same level of fuel as when it was collected; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Please be aware that late returns could result in extra charges. If you expect to return the vehicle later than scheduled, contact us as soon as possible. You are liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with an additional administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance as standard. For comprehensive details regarding coverage and excess limits, please refer to your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to lower your potential financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless further insurance is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, regardless of any insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise details, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited uses of the rental vehicle:
- Utilizing the vehicle for any unlawful activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any actions that pose safety risks. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting to others or permitting unauthorized drivers is forbidden. Operating the vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly against policy. Using the vehicle for purposes it is not intended for, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and driving outside designated geographical areas without prior approval are also violations of service terms.
Breach of terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
