Welcome to Ruislip Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By using our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, charges, and your obligations for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle: Key Steps
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Ruislip, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions can differ based on the vehicle type. Drivers under 25 may incur extra charges. A valid driving licence for the vehicle category is required, along with valid identification and proof of address. Payment details must be provided, including a security deposit, and any additional requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement must be met.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Bookings can be made on our website, via telephone, or in person at our Ruislip office. To confirm your reservation, a booking deposit may be necessary. Full payment and a security deposit are generally due at the time of vehicle collection. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with transactions processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is imperative to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by you. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, accommodating only normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as when collected; refueling fees will apply if the level is lower. Late returns may incur additional charges, so please notify us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. You can find complete coverage details and excess amounts in your Rental Agreement. Options for additional insurance may be available, which can help limit your financial liability. You will be responsible for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless you opt for additional coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence, improper use, or violation of these Terms is your responsibility, regardless of insurance status.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Charges may apply for late cancellations or no-shows, so reviewing these details is advisable to avoid unexpected fees.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities, including racing, rallying, or off-road driving. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited, as is subletting to unauthorized individuals or permitting unapproved drivers. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Adhere to passenger and weight limits, and do not operate the vehicle outside designated geographical boundaries without prior consent.
Violation of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
Limitation of Liability in Ruislip
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire Ruislip will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business that arise from your use of our services. Our maximum liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the rental in the last year. This limitation does not affect our liability for death or personal injury resulting from 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 jurisdiction of the English and Welsh courts.
10. Terms Updates
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Your ongoing use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
