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 using our services, you agree to comply with these terms.
Rental Agreement Terms
All vehicle rentals in Eltham are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or when collecting your vehicle. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance details, 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 take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria in Eltham
Rent Your Vehicle Here
- To hire a vehicle in Eltham, you must be at least 21 years old, though different vehicle types may have varying age restrictions, with potential extra fees for drivers under 25. A valid full driving license appropriate for the vehicle category is necessary, along with valid identification and proof of current address. You will also need to provide payment details and a security deposit, as well as meet any further requirements stated in the Rental Agreement.
3. Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or in person at our Eltham location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment and security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All charges are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is important to perform a comprehensive inspection of the car and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by both parties. It is your responsibility to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level; refueling charges will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may result in additional fees; please contact us promptly if you expect any delays. You are liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Details
- Basic third-party insurance is included with all vehicle rentals in Eltham. Comprehensive coverage details and applicable excess amounts are outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial responsibility. Please review these options closely. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess unless additional coverage is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance provisions.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies can 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 failure to show up may result in applicable charges, impacting your overall rental experience in Eltham.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Prohibited activities include any illegal use of the vehicle, such as racing or off-roading, as well as transporting hazardous materials. Sub-leasing to others or allowing unauthorized drivers is not permitted. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, exceeding passenger or weight limits, or driving outside designated geographic areas without prior approval, is not allowed.
Breach of terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
