Welcome to Car Hire Northwich. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Northwich are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle collection. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Requirements for Vehicle Rental
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Northwich, you must be at least 21 years old. Age restrictions may apply to certain vehicle types, with extra charges for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category, must be held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. You will need to present valid identification and proof of your current address. Additionally, valid payment information and a security deposit are required. Ensure you meet any other requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be arranged via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Northwich office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and a security deposit are usually payable upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with transactions handled securely by trusted payment processors.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed to document this. The car should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at the start of the rental; otherwise, a refueling charge will apply. Late returns may incur extra fees, so please notify us as soon as possible if you expect to return the vehicle late. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges that occur during your rental, in addition to an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Guidelines
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. Detailed information about coverage and excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for damages or losses up to the insurance excess amount unless additional coverage is selected. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will be your responsibility, regardless of existing insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities, including racing, rallying, or off-road driving. It is prohibited to transport hazardous materials or to sublet the vehicle to others. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, the vehicle should not exceed its specified passenger or weight limits, nor should it be driven outside designated geographical boundaries without prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire in Northwich 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 total liability for any claims is limited to the rental amount you paid in the last 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or fraud.
9. Local Regulations
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be resolved exclusively in English and Welsh courts.
