Welcome to Car Hire Walton-on-Thames. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or when you collect your vehicle. This document outlines important terms, conditions, insurance information, charges, 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
Rental Vehicle Requirements
- To rent a vehicle in Walton-on-Thames, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary by vehicle type, and drivers under 25 may incur additional charges. A valid full driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is required, held for at least the duration stated in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of current address must be presented, along with payment information and a security deposit. Additional requirements may apply as outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or in person at our Walton-on-Thames office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment along with a security deposit is generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection in Walton-on-Thames, it is your responsibility to thoroughly inspect the vehicle and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed to document the state of the vehicle. The vehicle must be returned in the same condition as it was collected, acknowledging normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur charges. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please notify us as soon as possible if you expect to return the vehicle later than agreed. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, along with an applicable administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All car rentals in Walton-on-Thames include basic third-party insurance. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless additional coverage is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Uses
Prohibited Uses of Your Rental
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is prohibited. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or similar dangerous pursuits is not allowed. Transporting hazardous materials is strictly forbidden. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is not permitted. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle must only be used for its intended purpose and within specified passenger and weight limits. Driving outside the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior approval.
