Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Walsall are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or when collecting your vehicle. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance provisions, charges, and your responsibilities for that 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 from Car Hire in Walsall, you must be at least 21 years old, although some vehicle categories may have different age restrictions, with possible extra charges for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence for the appropriate vehicle category is required, along with valid identification and proof of your current address. Payment information and a security deposit must also be provided. Additional requirements may be specified in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Walsall branch. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment and security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are stated in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with transactions handled securely by trusted payment processors.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Walsall, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed to document its status. The vehicle must be returned in the same condition it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure that the fuel level upon return matches that at collection, as refueling fees will apply if the level is lower. Late returns may attract extra charges, so please communicate with us as soon as possible if you expect a delay. You will be accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Coverage
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. You can find full coverage details and excess amounts in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help limit your financial exposure. It is beneficial to review these options closely. You remain liable for damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless you opt for added coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will be your responsibility, regardless of insurance status.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For specific details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited vehicle uses:
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities, including racing, rallying, or off-roading. It is prohibited to transport hazardous materials, sub-let the vehicle, or permit unauthorized drivers. Operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, the vehicle should not be used for purposes it is not intended for, nor should passenger or weight limits be exceeded. Driving beyond agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire in Walsall is not responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits or data, resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the amount paid for your rental in the past year. This limitation does not apply to cases of negligence resulting in death or personal injury, nor to issues of fraud.
9. Local Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the exclusive authority of the courts in this jurisdiction.
10. Amendments to Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
