Welcome to Car Hire Didcot. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website carhiredidcot.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By using our services,
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Didcot are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle pickup. This document outlines key terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your obligations during the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement prevails.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Didcot requires:
- To hire a vehicle in Didcot, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with potential extra fees for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence is required, along with proof of identity and current address. You must also provide valid payment details and a security deposit, along with any other criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Didcot office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are displayed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Didcot, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed by both parties. Upon return, the vehicle should be in the same condition as when it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Additionally, the vehicle must be returned with the same fuel level as received; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns can result in extra charges, so please notify us as soon as possible if you foresee a delay. You will be liable for any parking tickets, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with an administrative fee.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. Full coverage specifics and any applicable excess amounts will be outlined in your Rental Agreement. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to lower your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional coverage is obtained. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will be your responsibility, regardless of existing insurance.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For specific information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Late cancellations or failure to appear may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities, including racing or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, the vehicle should not be used for purposes it is not designed for, nor should passenger or weight limits be exceeded. Operating the vehicle outside of the agreed geographical limits requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
