Welcome to Car Hire Peterborough. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website carhirepeterborough.co.uk and our vehicle rental services. By using our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Peterborough are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations for the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Peterborough requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Peterborough, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid, full driving license appropriate for the vehicle category is required, held for the minimum duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. You must also present valid identification and proof of your current address, along with payment details and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be specified in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or at our Peterborough location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept all major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pick-Up and Drop-Off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Peterborough, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed by both parties. You are expected to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charges applied accordingly. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at the time of pick-up, as refueling charges will apply otherwise. Late returns could result in additional fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if a delay is anticipated. You will be responsible for any parking tickets, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Coverage
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance, with full coverage details outlined in the Rental Agreement. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to lower your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless additional coverage is acquired. Responsibility for damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains with you, irrespective of insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For detailed information, please 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 Your Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other dangerous activities. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should only be used as intended and within the designated passenger and weight limits. Operating the vehicle outside of the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
8. Liability Limitations in Peterborough
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Peterborough will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the rental in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not affect our liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or for fraudulent actions.
9. Local Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of courts in this region.
10. Updates to Terms
We may update these Terms periodically. Changes take effect as soon as they are posted on our website. Continued use of our services indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.
