Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Ormskirk come with a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or when collecting your vehicle. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations during the rental period. Should any discrepancies arise between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle with us requires:
- To hire a vehicle in Ormskirk, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. Drivers under 25 may incur additional charges. A valid driving licence must be held for the minimum duration indicated in the Rental Agreement. You will also need to present valid identification, proof of your current address, and payment details, including a security deposit. Any further requirements will be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations for car hire can be arranged via our website, by telephone, or at our Ormskirk office. A deposit may be needed to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are displayed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment processors.
4. Car Pick-Up and Drop-Off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Ormskirk, conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by you. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, allowing only for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and associated charges may apply. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as when collected; refueling fees will be imposed if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may incur extra charges, so notify us as soon as possible if you expect a delay. You will also be accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- Basic third-party insurance is included with all car rentals in Ormskirk. Details about coverage and excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to lower your financial liability. It is beneficial to review these options closely. You remain liable for damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless you have opted for additional coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will also be your responsibility, regardless of existing insurance.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Uses
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any dangerous driving behavior. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting to others or allowing unauthorized drivers is prohibited. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle should not be used for purposes it is not intended for, nor should passenger or weight limits be exceeded. Driving outside the specified geographical areas without prior authorization is also not permitted.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
