Welcome to Hindley Car Hire. These Terms of Service outline the rules for using our website and vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
Every vehicle rental is governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which will be provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your responsibilities regarding the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take priority.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle requires:
- To hire a vehicle from Hindley, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions can differ based on vehicle type, with possible extra fees for drivers under 25. A valid, full driving license is required, held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, valid identification, proof of your current address, payment information, and a security deposit are necessary. Be prepared to meet any other conditions stated in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be completed via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Dartford office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment along with a security deposit is usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. All charges are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, a comprehensive inspection is required to identify any pre-existing damage, which must be reported without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated, documenting the findings and requiring your signature. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was received, accounting only for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as appropriate. You are also responsible for returning the vehicle with the same fuel level. If the fuel level is lower upon return, refueling charges will apply. Late returns may result in extra fees, so please inform us promptly if you expect a delay. Additionally, any parking tickets, traffic violations, or related charges incurred during the rental period will be your responsibility, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Policy
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. You will find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial liability. It is beneficial to review these options thoroughly. You are accountable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional coverage applies. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
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. Keep in mind that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Use of Vehicle
- Use of the vehicle for any unlawful activities is prohibited. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or any dangerous pursuits is not allowed. Transporting hazardous materials is strictly forbidden. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is unacceptable. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is prohibited. The vehicle must be used for its intended purposes only. Adhering to passenger and weight limits is mandatory. Driving outside the designated geographical areas requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Hindley Car Hire 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 maximum liability for any claim is limited to the total amount paid for your rental in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
Governing Law Regulations
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be resolved exclusively in the courts of England and Wales.
