Ashington Car Hire Terms

Welcome to Car Hire Ashington. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website carhireashington.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By engaging with our services, you agree to these terms.

Rental Terms

All vehicle rentals in Ashington are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your obligations for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.

Eligibility Criteria

Rental Requirements in Ashington

• To rent a vehicle in Ashington, you must be at least 21 years old, though age limits may differ based on the vehicle type, with potential extra fees for drivers under 25. A valid, full driving licence is required, which should be held for the duration outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additionally, you must present valid identification and proof of your current address, along with payment information and a security deposit. Please review your Rental Agreement for any further conditions that may apply.

Booking and Payment Details

• Reservations can be completed via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Ashington location. A booking deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. The remaining balance and a security deposit are usually payable upon vehicle pickup. Prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure processing through trusted payment providers.

Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off

• At the time of vehicle collection in Ashington, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed to document the state of the vehicle. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as it was received, accounting only for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. The vehicle should also be returned with the same level of fuel as at collection; refueling fees will apply if the level is lower. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be held responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that occur during your rental, along with an administrative fee.

Insurance and Liability Overview

• All rentals 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 help lower your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional insurance applies. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violations of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.

Cancellation and Modifications

Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice given. Please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement for the specific details. Late cancellations or no-shows could incur charges, so it is important to be aware of these conditions.

7. Restricted Activities

Prohibited vehicle uses:

• Use of the vehicle for any unlawful activities is prohibited. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or similar dangerous pursuits is not allowed. Transporting hazardous substances is strictly forbidden. Sub-letting or permitting unauthorized drivers is not permitted. Driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle must not be used for purposes it was not designed for. Passenger or weight limits must be adhered to. Driving outside the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.

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

8. Liability Restrictions

To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Ashington 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 amount you paid for the rental in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or for fraudulent actions.

9. Applicable Law in Ashington

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the English and Welsh courts.
