Rental Agreement Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines essential terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In cases of discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the latter will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Requirements for Vehicle Rental
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Blackheath, you must be at least 21 years old, though conditions may vary by vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is required, held for the minimum duration stated in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, you must provide valid identification, proof of current address, payment details, and a security deposit. Any further requirements will be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payment Options
- Reservations for vehicle hire can be conveniently made through our website, over the phone, or directly at our Blackheath location. To confirm your booking, a deposit may be necessary. Full payment along with a security deposit is typically required at the time of vehicle pickup. All pricing is listed in British Pounds (£), inclusive of VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, a thorough inspection is required, and any pre-existing damage must be reported immediately. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed by both parties. It is expected that the vehicle will be returned in the same condition as it was received, aside from normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as at collection to avoid refueling charges. Late returns may incur extra fees; if you anticipate being late, contact us as soon as possible. You will be responsible for any parking tickets, traffic violations, or charges accrued during your rental period, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability in Blackheath
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every car rental in Blackheath. Full details and excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to help limit your financial responsibility. It is advisable to review these choices thoroughly. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless you opt for additional coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of your insurance status.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses in Blackheath
- Prohibited activities include using the vehicle for illegal purposes, such as racing or off-roading, and transporting hazardous materials. The vehicle must not be sublet or operated by unauthorized drivers. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, or operating outside designated geographical areas without consent is strictly forbidden.
Breach of terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Limitations in Blackheath
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Blackheath will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the amount you paid for the rental in the past year. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
