Welcome to Farnworth Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your access to our website and vehicle rental offerings. By engaging with our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals come with a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle collection. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your responsibilities 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 hire a vehicle from Car Hire Farnworth, drivers must be at least 21 years old, although age limits can differ based on vehicle type, with possible extra charges for those under 25. A valid driving licence relevant to the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit must also be provided. Additional criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement must be met.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be completed via our website, telephone, or directly at our Farnworth office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and security deposit are 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 vehicle collection, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed to document this assessment. Upon return, the vehicle should be in the same condition as when it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and additional charges may apply. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will be incurred if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please inform us promptly if a delay is anticipated. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. You can find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial liability, so reviewing these options is advisable. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless you opt for extra insurance. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will remain your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice given. For specific information, please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- Use of the vehicle for any unlawful activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any dangerous maneuvers. Transporting hazardous materials or sub-letting the vehicle to unauthorized individuals is not allowed. Operating the vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, ensure that passenger and weight limits are not exceeded, and refrain from driving beyond the designated geographical areas without prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Farnworth Car Hire 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 rental amount paid in the preceding 12 months. This limitation does not affect liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or for fraudulent actions.
9. Applicable Law
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in England and Wales.
Updates to Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
