Walton-on-Thames Car Hire Terms

Rental Terms

All vehicle rentals in Walton-on-Thames are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.

Eligibility Criteria in Walton-on-Thames

Requirements for Car Hire

• To hire a vehicle in Walton-on-Thames, drivers must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may vary based on the vehicle type. Those under 25 may incur additional charges. A valid driving licence for the relevant vehicle category is required, along with proof of identity and current address. Valid payment details and a security deposit must also be provided, in addition to any other requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.

Booking and Payment Process

• Reservations can be completed via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Walton-on-Thames office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Total payment and a security deposit are generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All charges are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.

4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off

• At the time of vehicle collection in Walton-on-Thames, please conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and must be signed by both parties. It is essential to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged appropriately. Ensure that the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as when it was picked up; refueling charges will apply for any discrepancies. Late returns may attract additional fees, so please notify us immediately if you anticipate being late. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or related charges incurred during the rental, along with an administration fee.

Insurance and Liability Overview

• All rentals in Walton-on-Thames include basic third-party insurance. Specific coverage details and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial liability. It is important to review these options closely. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional insurance applies. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms is your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.

6. Modifications and Cancellations

Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. Consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement for precise information. Late cancellations or failure to show may incur fees. Please review these terms carefully to avoid unexpected costs.

7. Restricted Activities

Prohibited vehicle usage:

• Use of the vehicle for any illegal activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in any dangerous maneuvers. The transport of hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly against policy. Vehicles must not be used for purposes they are not intended for, nor should passenger or weight limits be exceeded. Operating the vehicle outside the designated geographical limits without prior approval is also not permitted.

Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.

8. Liability Limitations

To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire in Walton-on-Thames will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the rental amount paid in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.

9. Local Legal Framework

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of local courts.

10. Updates to Terms

We can update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect as soon as they are posted on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
