Tameside Car Hire Terms

Rental Terms

All vehicle rentals 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 related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.

Eligibility Criteria

Renting a Vehicle in Tameside

• To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Tameside, you must be at least 21 years old. Age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type, with potential extra fees for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence, recognized for the vehicle category, must be held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of your current address are required, along with appropriate payment details and a security deposit. Additional criteria may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.

Booking and Payment Process

• Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Tameside location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment and a security deposit are generally due upon vehicle pickup. All pricing is listed in British Pounds (£) and includes VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment gateways.

Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off

• At the time of vehicle collection, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed by both parties. The vehicle must be returned in the same state as it was collected, accounting for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged appropriately. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as at collection; otherwise, refueling fees will apply. Late returns may result in extra charges, so communicate with us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be liable for any parking tickets, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, in addition to an administration fee.

Insurance and Responsibility

• All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. Comprehensive details about coverage and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to lower your financial exposure. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you have opted for further insurance. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will be your responsibility, regardless of existing insurance coverage.

6. Cancellations and Modifications

Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For detailed information, please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges. Always review these terms to avoid unexpected fees.

Prohibited Activities

Prohibited Vehicle Uses

• Use of the vehicle for any illegal activities is strictly prohibited. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or other risky actions is not allowed. Transporting hazardous materials is forbidden. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is unacceptable. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is illegal. The vehicle must be used for its intended purposes only, and passenger or weight limits must not be exceeded. Driving outside the designated geographical area without proper permission is also prohibited.

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

Liability Limitations

To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Tameside is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business resulting from your use of our services. Our overall liability for any claims will not exceed the rental amount paid in the past 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence, or for fraudulent actions.

9. Applicable Law

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

10. Updates to Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon being posted on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the updated Terms.
