Welcome to Car Hire Penarth. These Terms of Service outline the rules for using our website carhirepenarth.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All car rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which will be provided at the time of booking confirmation or when you collect the vehicle. This agreement outlines important terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your obligations during 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 Penarth requires:
- To hire a vehicle through Car Hire in Penarth, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary based on the vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category, along with identification and proof of your current address, is required. You will also need to provide valid payment information and a security deposit, as well as meet any other conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be completed via our website, by telephone, or in person at our Penarth office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with transactions handled securely through trusted payment processors.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection in Penarth, you are required to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed at this point. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was provided, allowing for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure that the vehicle is returned with the same amount of fuel as when collected; refueling charges will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may result in extra fees, so please inform us promptly if you anticipate a delay. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during the rental, in addition to an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Details
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts will be outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options can be offered to limit your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain accountable for damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount, unless you have opted for additional coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will remain your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited uses of rental vehicle:
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or other dangerous pursuits. 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, or operating outside agreed geographical boundaries without prior consent is strictly forbidden.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire in Penarth 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 is capped at the rental amount paid in the last 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Local Legal Framework
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be addressed exclusively in the courts of England and Wales.
Updates to Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect as soon as they are posted on our website. Continued use of our services indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.
