Welcome to Eltham Car Hire Services. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website carhireeltham.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to comply with these terms.
Eltham Car Hire Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided during booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations for the particular rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Eltham
- To rent a vehicle in Eltham, drivers must be at least 21 years old, although specific age restrictions apply depending on the vehicle type, with supplementary fees for those under 25. A valid, full driving licence that meets the category requirements must be presented, along with identification and proof of your current address. Payment details and a security deposit are also necessary, along with any other requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments in Eltham
- Reservations for car hire can be made conveniently through our website, by telephone, or directly at our Eltham location. To confirm your booking, a deposit may be necessary. The remaining balance and any security deposit are generally required upon collection of the vehicle. All fees are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where relevant. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and must be signed by you. Please return the vehicle in its original condition, considering only normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Additionally, ensure that the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as when it was collected; otherwise, refueling charges will apply. Late returns can result in extra fees, so contact us as soon as possible if you expect to be late. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental period, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Details
- Basic third-party insurance is included with all car rentals in Eltham. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts will be specified in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help minimize your financial liability. It is recommended to review these options thoroughly. You will be responsible for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless additional coverage is secured. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance status.
6. Cancellations and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies for car rentals in Eltham depend on the booking type and the advance notice provided. For precise details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Keep in mind that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges, so it's wise to review your terms carefully.
7. Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Uses for Your Vehicle
- Prohibited activities include any illegal use of the vehicle, engaging in racing or off-road driving, and transporting hazardous materials. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, do not exceed the designated passenger or weight limits, or drive beyond the agreed geographical boundaries without prior authorization.
Violation of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations in Eltham
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Eltham will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business that may arise from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the amount paid for the rental in the prior 12 months.
