Welcome to Car Hire Hailsham. These Terms of Service outline your usage of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By using our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Hailsham are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your obligations for the rental period. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take priority.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Hailsham
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Hailsham, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may apply based on vehicle type, with additional fees for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence that corresponds with the vehicle category is required, along with proof of identity and current address. Ensure you provide valid payment details and a security deposit, and be prepared to meet any other criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Hailsham office. To confirm your booking, a deposit may be necessary. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, a thorough inspection is required. Any existing damage must be reported immediately, and a vehicle condition report will be completed and signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as at collection, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will incur assessment and charges as necessary. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as when it was collected; refueling costs will be applied if the fuel level is insufficient. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please contact us promptly if you anticipate any delays. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, and charges incurred during your rental period, along with an applicable administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in Hailsham
- Basic third-party insurance is automatically included with every car rental. Full details, including excess amounts, are outlined in your Rental Agreement. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to limit your financial responsibility. Review these options carefully, as you will be liable for damage or loss up to the excess amount unless further coverage is secured. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse will remain your responsibility, irrespective of insurance status.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies may differ based on your booking type and the notice given. For precise details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Please be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up could incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Uses of Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, off-roading, or engaging in any dangerous behavior. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Adhere to the vehicle's design specifications, including passenger and weight limits, and refrain from driving beyond the agreed geographical restrictions without proper authorization.
Breach of policy may lead to immediate rental cancellation and fees.
Liability Limitations in Hailsham
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Hailsham 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 claim will not exceed the rental amount you paid in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not affect our liability for negligence leading to death or personal injury, or for fraudulent actions.
Hailsham Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of England and Wales.
