Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Barrow-in-Furness 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 terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your responsibilities during the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle requires:
- To hire a vehicle in Barrow-in-Furness, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ depending on the vehicle model, with possible extra fees for drivers under 25. A valid, full driving licence for the appropriate vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit are also necessary. Be sure to meet any further requirements detailed in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Barrow-in-Furness office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required at the time of vehicle collection. 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 vehicle collection in Barrow-in-Furness, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed to document this. Upon returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, taking into account standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and additional charges may apply. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; otherwise, refueling charges will be incurred. Late returns may attract extra fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate any delays. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that arise during your rental, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Guidelines
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. You can find detailed coverage information and excess amounts in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial liability. Review these options thoroughly. You are accountable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional coverage applies. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility regardless of insurance.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to appear may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other dangerous driving practices. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle to others or permitting unauthorized drivers is forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly against our policy. The vehicle must be used as intended, without exceeding passenger or weight limits, and must remain within the agreed geographical boundaries unless prior approval is obtained.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
