Welcome to Car Hire Hackney. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website and vehicle rental options. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All car rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided upon booking confirmation or vehicle pick-up. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations regarding the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Hackney
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. You need to possess a valid driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category, along with identification and proof of your current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit are required, as well as compliance with any additional criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or at our Hackney location. A booking deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. 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 providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collection of your vehicle, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed by both parties. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, allowing for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as at the start of your rental; refueling charges will apply if the level is lower. Late returns may incur additional fees, so contact us immediately if you anticipate any delays. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges that occur during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in Hackney
- All car rentals come with basic third-party insurance. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts are outlined in your Rental Agreement. Options for enhanced insurance may be available, which can lower your financial exposure. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess unless additional insurance applies. Negligence or misuse will remain your responsibility, independent of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ depending on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please refer to your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges, which will be outlined in your agreement.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or other dangerous maneuvers. Transporting hazardous materials is strictly prohibited. Sub-letting to unauthorized drivers or allowing others to operate the vehicle is not permitted. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. Adhere to passenger and weight limits and remain within authorized geographical boundaries.
Breach of terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Hackney is not responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including losses related to profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our maximum liability for any claims will not surpass the rental amount you paid over the past 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability arising from negligence leading to death or personal injury, or for fraudulent actions.
Local Legal Guidelines
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be resolved exclusively by the courts of England and Wales.
10. Modifications to Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon being published on our website. Continued use of our services indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.
