Welcome to Car Hire Knaresborough. These Terms of Service outline the rules for using our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Knaresborough Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals in Knaresborough are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations during the rental period. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Rental Vehicle Requirements
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Knaresborough, you must be at least 21 years of age. Please note that specific vehicle types may have different age requirements, and additional fees may apply for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence suited to the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Valid payment details and a security deposit must also be provided, as well as any other criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- You can make reservations via our website, by phone, or directly at our Knaresborough office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards through trusted payment processors.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Knaresborough, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, aside from normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charges may apply. Please ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level; refueling fees will be incurred if the tank is not at the original level. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you expect to be late. You will be held responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that arise during your rental period, in addition to a nominal administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. You will find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to help minimize your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options closely. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless additional insurance is obtained. Responsibility for damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms falls to you, regardless 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. Late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- Vehicles must not be used for any unlawful activities. Activities such as racing, rallying, off-roading, or other dangerous driving are prohibited. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Do not sublet the vehicle or permit unauthorized drivers. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Vehicles should only be used for their intended purpose, and it is important to adhere to passenger and weight limits. Operating outside the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
