Welcome to Garston Car Hire Services. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website carhiregarston.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 provided at the time of booking confirmation or upon vehicle collection. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance details, applicable charges, and your responsibilities for the rental. In case of any discrepancies, the Rental Agreement will take precedence over these Terms.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Garston
- To rent a vehicle from Garston Car Hire, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. Drivers under the age of 25 may incur additional charges. A valid driving licence for the appropriate vehicle category, along with proof of identity and current address, is required. Valid payment details and a security deposit are also necessary, and any further requirements will be outlined in your Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or at our Garston office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment processors.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, a thorough inspection is required to identify any pre-existing damage. This process will include completing a vehicle condition report, which both parties will sign. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was received, factoring in normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be assessed, and charges will apply. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as collected; otherwise, refueling fees will be incurred. If you anticipate returning the vehicle late, please contact us immediately to discuss potential charges. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or fees that arise during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every car rental from Garston. Details regarding coverage and any applicable excess amounts are outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial responsibility. You will be accountable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless you purchase extra coverage. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse will remain your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation and amendment policies 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 no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is strictly prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in any hazardous actions. The transport of dangerous materials and sub-letting to unauthorized individuals are not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and operating outside designated geographical areas without consent are also violations of our terms.
Violation of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Garston is not responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our liability for any claims will not exceed the total amount you paid for your rental within the last 12 months. This limitation does not apply to cases of negligence leading to personal injury or death, or to instances of fraud.
9. Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the jurisdiction of the courts in this region.
10. Terms Updates
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon publication on our website. Your ongoing use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
