Preston Car Hire Terms

Rental Terms

All vehicle rentals in Preston are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance details, fees, and your obligations for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.

Eligibility Criteria

Vehicle Rental Requirements for Preston

• To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Preston, you must be at least 21 years old. Age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with potential additional fees for drivers under 25. You need a valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category, held for the duration stated in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of current address are required, along with payment information and a security deposit. Please review any extra requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.

3. Reservations and Payments

• Reservations for car hire in Preston can be completed via our website, by telephone, or directly at our local branch. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are displayed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through established payment providers.

4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off

• At the time of vehicle collection, a thorough inspection is required. Any pre-existing damage must be reported immediately, and a vehicle condition report will be completed and signed. The vehicle should be returned in the same state as it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. It is important to return the vehicle with the same fuel level as when it was picked up, as refueling charges will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may incur additional fees, so please inform us in advance if you anticipate delays. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or fees incurred during your rental, along with an administration charge.

5. Insurance and Responsibility

• Basic third-party insurance comes standard with all vehicle rentals from Car Hire Preston. Comprehensive coverage details, including excess amounts, are outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to lessen your financial responsibility. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless covered by supplementary insurance. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse is your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.

6. Cancellations and Modifications

Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges, so it's advisable to be aware of the terms outlined in your agreement.

7. Restricted Activities

Prohibited Vehicle Uses in Preston

• Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is strictly prohibited. This includes participation in racing, rallying, or off-road driving, as well as handling hazardous materials. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable, along with exceeding passenger or weight limits. Travel outside designated geographical areas requires prior approval.

Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.

8. Liability Limitations

To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Preston is not responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, nor for losses related to profits, data, or business that may result from your use of our services. Our maximum liability for any claims is limited to the total rental amount paid in the past year. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.

9. Legal Framework

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of their courts.
