Welcome to Car Hire Ashton-in-Makerfield. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By engaging with 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 you collect your vehicle. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, 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 requires:
- To hire a vehicle in Ashton-in-Makerfield, drivers must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, with possible extra charges for those under 25. A valid, full driving license appropriate for the vehicle category must be held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, you will need to present valid identification and proof of your current address, along with payment information and a security deposit. Be prepared to meet any further requirements stated in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be completed via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Ashton-in-Makerfield office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally expected upon vehicle pickup. Prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Ashton-in-Makerfield, a thorough inspection is required to identify any pre-existing damage, which should be reported immediately. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed by both parties. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated, and charges will be applied accordingly. The vehicle must also be returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur additional fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you expect to return the vehicle late. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges that occur during the rental period, along with a small administration fee.
5. Insurance and Responsibility
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. You can find full coverage details and excess amounts in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options closely. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance 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 provided. For specific details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities, including racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and operating outside designated geographical areas without prior approval are strictly forbidden.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire in Ashton-in-Makerfield will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, nor for any loss of profits, data, or business resulting from your use of our services. Our overall liability for any claim will not exceed the rental amount paid in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Local Jurisdiction
