Welcome to Erith Car Hire Services. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website carhireerith.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or when you collect your vehicle. This document outlines important terms, conditions, insurance details, charges, and your responsibilities related to the rental. Should there be any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the latter will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Vehicle Rental Requirements
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Erith, you must be at least 21 years old, with age restrictions varying by vehicle type. If you are under 25, additional charges may apply. A valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. You will also need to provide valid payment information and a security deposit, as well as meet any other criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Erith office. To confirm your booking, a deposit may be required. The remaining balance and a security deposit are usually collected at the time of vehicle pick-up. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£), inclusive of 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 your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same state as it was collected, accounting only for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Please return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had upon collection; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please notify us promptly if you expect to be late. You are accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that arise during your rental period, in addition to an administration fee.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance, with comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to lower your financial responsibility. You are accountable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, except where additional insurance applies. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your liability, regardless of insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and modification policies vary based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Prohibited activities while using our vehicles include any illegal actions or purposes. Engaging in racing, rallying, or off-roading is strictly forbidden. Transporting hazardous materials and sub-letting the vehicle to unauthorized individuals are not permitted. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and operating outside of the agreed geographical area without authorization are also violations of our terms.
Violation of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Erith will not be liable 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 will not exceed the rental amount you paid in the last 12 months. This exclusion does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Applicable Law
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be handled exclusively by the courts of England and Wales.
10. Terms Updates
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon being posted on our website. Your ongoing use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
