Welcome to Car Hire Cheltenham. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By utilizing our services,
Cheltenham Rental Agreement
All vehicle rentals in Cheltenham are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document details the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, associated charges, and your obligations for the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Cheltenham
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Cheltenham, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type, with additional fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence must be presented, along with proof of identity and current address. You will also need to provide valid payment details and a security deposit, as well as meet any other requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments in Cheltenham
- Bookings for car rentals can be arranged via our website, by phone, or in person at our Cheltenham office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection to identify any pre-existing damage and report it immediately. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed to confirm its state. Upon returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when collected, considering normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur charges. Ensure that the fuel level matches what was provided at the start of your rental; refueling fees will apply if the vehicle is returned with less fuel. Late returns could lead to additional fees, so please notify us in advance if you anticipate a delay. During the rental period, any parking fines or traffic violations will be your responsibility, along with an administrative fee for processing these charges.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- All car rentals in Cheltenham come with basic third-party insurance included. You will find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options can be offered to help lower your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options closely. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the specified insurance excess, unless additional coverage is purchased. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the advance notice provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
