Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Long Eaton are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines the terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your responsibilities for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle requires:
- To hire a vehicle in Long Eaton, drivers must be a minimum of 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, with potential extra charges for those under 25. A valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, held for the duration stated in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, drivers must present valid identification and proof of current residence, as well as valid payment details and a security deposit. Any further stipulations outlined in the Rental Agreement must also be met.
Booking and Payments in Long Eaton
- Reservations can be completed via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Long Eaton office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with transactions securely managed through trusted payment processors.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Long Eaton, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be created and must be signed. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. Ensure that the fuel level matches what it was at collection; refueling charges will apply if the vehicle is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please contact us right away if you foresee a delay. You will be held accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or related charges incurred during your rental period, along with an applicable administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Comprehensive coverage information and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available 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 excess amount unless additional insurance is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and modification policies differ depending on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For specific information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
