Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals from Car Hire in Wigston come with a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at booking confirmation or upon vehicle collection. This document outlines important terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your responsibilities pertaining 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 with us requires:
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Wigston, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, with added fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category, is required and should be held for the minimum duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Customers must also present valid identification and proof of their current address. Payment information and a security deposit are necessary, along with any other requirements mentioned in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations for car hire can be completed via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Wigston office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required upon picking up your vehicle. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept all major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, 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 must be signed by both parties. Upon return, the vehicle should be in the same condition as when it was collected, barring normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged appropriately. Please return the vehicle with the same level of fuel as it had at collection; otherwise, refueling charges will be applied. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will also be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, in addition to an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. The Rental Agreement outlines complete coverage details and applicable excess amounts. Additional insurance options may be offered to minimize your financial liability. Carefully reviewing these options is advisable. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless additional insurance is in place. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance status.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ depending 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 no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited uses of rental vehicle:
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, off-roading, or engaging in any dangerous driving practices. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Additionally, sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Ensure that you do not exceed passenger or weight limits, and always operate within the agreed geographical boundaries without prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire Wigston will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, that may arise from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the rental amount you paid in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraudulent activity.
9. Legal Framework
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in this region.
