Welcome to Car Hire St Neots. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Contract
All vehicle rentals in St Neots are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations for the rental. In the event of any discrepancies, the Rental Agreement will prevail over these Terms.
Eligibility Criteria
Requirements for Vehicle Rental
- To hire a vehicle in St Neots, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with possible extra charges for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence for the appropriate vehicle category is required, held for the minimum duration stated in the Rental Agreement. You will need to present valid identification and proof of your current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit are also necessary. Any additional requirements will be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our St Neots office. A booking 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 where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection in St Neots, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, aside from standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may result in additional charges. It is also important to return the vehicle with the same level of fuel as when you picked it up; otherwise, refueling charges will apply. Should you anticipate returning the vehicle late, please contact us as soon as possible, as this may incur extra fees. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. Comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts will be outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to lower your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless additional coverage is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle may not be used for illegal purposes or activities. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other dangerous driving. 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. The vehicle should only be used for its intended purpose, adhering to passenger and weight limits. Driving outside the agreed geographical area requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
