Welcome to Car Hire Hailsham. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website carhirehailsham.co.uk and our vehicle rental services. By using our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, charges, and your obligations during the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the terms in the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Hailsham
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Hailsham, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though specific age restrictions may apply based on vehicle type, with extra fees for those under 25. A valid full driving licence appropriate for the vehicle is required, along with identification and proof of current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit must also be provided. Additional terms may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations for car hire can be made conveniently via our website, over the phone, or in person at our Hailsham location. To secure your booking, a deposit may be required. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally expected upon vehicle collection. All pricing is listed in British Pounds (£) and includes applicable VAT. We accept all major credit and debit cards, ensuring a secure transaction through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Hailsham, a thorough inspection is required to identify any pre-existing damage, which must be reported immediately. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed at this stage. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, allowing for standard wear and tear. Any new damage incurred during your rental will be assessed and charged appropriately. The vehicle should also be returned with the same fuel level as received; refueling charges apply if the fuel level is lower than at the start of the rental. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please notify us as soon as possible if you anticipate being late. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, along with a nominal administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in Hailsham
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance, with comprehensive details and excess amounts outlined in your Rental Agreement. Options for additional insurance may be available to further limit your financial responsibility. It is important to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you opt for extra coverage. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on your booking type and the notice period provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur charges, affecting your overall rental experience in Hailsham.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses in Hailsham
- Prohibited activities include using the vehicle for illegal purposes, such as racing or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials, sub-letting the vehicle, or allowing unauthorized drivers is not permitted. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and operating the vehicle outside agreed geographical areas without prior approval are also strictly forbidden.
Breach of terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
Liability Limitations in Hailsham
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire in Hailsham is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from the use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the rental fees paid in the preceding year. This does not affect our responsibility for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Local Legislation
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be resolved exclusively in the courts of England and Wales.
