Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your obligations associated with the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Rental Requirements for Wakefield
- To hire a vehicle in Wakefield, you must be a minimum of 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ depending on the vehicle type. Drivers under 25 may incur additional fees. A valid full driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, along with valid identification and proof of current address. You will also need to present valid payment details and a security deposit, as well as fulfill any other conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Bookings for Car Hire in Wakefield can be completed via our website, by telephone, or at our local office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include applicable VAT. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed for your records. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may result in additional charges. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; if it has less fuel, refueling charges will apply. Late returns may incur extra fees, so contact us promptly if you anticipate any delays. You will also be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental, along with a nominal administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Information
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. You can find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to help lower your financial liability. It is important to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless you opt for additional coverage. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice provided. For specific terms, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Use of the vehicle for any illegal activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-road driving, or any actions that pose a risk. Transporting hazardous materials, sub-letting to unauthorized individuals, or allowing unapproved drivers is not permitted. Additionally, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and operating outside designated geographical boundaries without consent are also against policy.
Breach of these terms may lead to immediate rental cancellation and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire Wakefield will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profit, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the total amount paid for your rental in the last 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the relevant courts.
