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 agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, 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
Requirements for Vehicle Rental
- To hire a vehicle in Wallsend, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary based on the type of vehicle. A valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, along with proof of identity and current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit are also necessary. Additionally, any specific requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement must be met.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or at our Wallsend location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment, along with a security deposit, is usually required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT when applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through established payment providers.
4. Car Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Wallsend, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and signed by you. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as it was collected, except for normal wear and tear. Any new damages will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Ensure that the fuel level matches what it was at collection; refueling fees will apply if the tank is not full. Late returns may result in extra fees, so please contact us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will also be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges that occur during the rental, in addition to a processing fee.
Insurance and Responsibility
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. You can find full coverage details and excess amounts in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial liability, so please review them closely. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless you opt for additional coverage. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse is your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
Cancellation Policy and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Please be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Uses of Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, off-roading, or engaging in any hazardous driving. Transporting dangerous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized individuals to drive is not permitted. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Use the vehicle only for its intended purposes and within the specified passenger and weight limits. Traveling outside the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and fees.
