Gosforth Car Hire Agreement
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 key terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, 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
Renting a vehicle with us requires:
- To hire a vehicle in Gosforth, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with potential extra charges for drivers under 25. You should possess a valid, full driving licence suitable for the vehicle category, held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of current address are required, along with payment information and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be specified in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Gosforth location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required upon 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 providers.
Gosforth Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Gosforth, you are required to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed to document the state of the car. When returning the vehicle, ensure it is in the same condition as when it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated, and charges will apply. The vehicle must be returned with the same fuel level; otherwise, refueling fees will be incurred. Late returns may result in additional charges, so please contact us if you anticipate a delay. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, along with a processing fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. You can find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial liability, and we advise reviewing these closely. You will be accountable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount, unless you opt for additional coverage. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
