Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Kingswinford come with a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle collection. This document outlines essential terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your responsibilities 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 with us requires:
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Kingswinford, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ depending on the vehicle type, with potential extra fees for those under 25. A valid driving licence that meets the standards outlined in the Rental Agreement is required. Additionally, customers must present current identification, proof of address, and valid payment details, including a security deposit. Any further conditions will be detailed in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Kingswinford office. A deposit may be needed to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and a security deposit are usually required upon vehicle pick-up. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where relevant. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment systems.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Kingswinford, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed by both parties. Upon returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, aside from normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. The vehicle should also be returned with the same level of fuel as provided; refueling charges will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may incur additional fees, so please contact us as soon as possible if you anticipate being late. You will be accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that occur during your rental period, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Policies
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. You'll find comprehensive details regarding coverage and excess amounts in your Rental Agreement. There are additional insurance options available that can help lower your financial liability. It's advisable to review these options closely. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless additional coverage is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse is your responsibility, regardless of insurance status.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For specific information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
