Welcome to Car Hire Cardiff. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website carhirecardiff.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By utilizing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All car rentals in Cardiff are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle pickup. This document outlines pertinent terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your obligations regarding the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Cardiff:
- To hire a vehicle in Cardiff, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type. Drivers under 25 may incur extra charges. A valid driving licence relevant to the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit are also necessary, along with any other requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, through a phone call, or by visiting our Cardiff office. A deposit may be needed to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and a security deposit are generally required upon picking up the vehicle. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept all major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment partners.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle, please conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed at this time. It is important to 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 incur additional charges. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; a refueling fee will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may lead to extra fees, so please notify us as soon as possible if you expect to return the vehicle late. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, plus an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. For comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts, please refer to your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial exposure. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be accountable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you acquire extra coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will remain your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities, including racing, off-roading, or other dangerous pursuits. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting to others or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Additionally, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and operating outside the agreed geographical boundaries without authorization are strictly forbidden.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits or data, resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims is limited to the rental amount paid in the past year. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
Governing Law in Cardiff
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the jurisdiction of the respective courts in this region.
