Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle collection. This agreement outlines essential terms, conditions, insurance specifics, fees, and your responsibilities for the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Vehicle Rental Requirements
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Redruth, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary based on vehicle type, with extra fees for those under 25. A valid, full driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is required, held for the minimum duration specified in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, valid identification, proof of current address, payment details, and a security deposit are necessary. Any further requirements will be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made conveniently via our website, by phone, or at our Redruth office. A deposit may be required to confirm your booking. The full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally due at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment processors.
4. Car Collection and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage immediately. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed by both parties. 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 may incur additional charges. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level, as refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel than at pickup. Late returns may result in extra charges; if you anticipate a delay, contact us as soon as possible. You are liable for any parking tickets, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental period, along with an associated administration fee.
5. Liability and Insurance
- Basic third-party insurance is included with all vehicle rentals in Redruth. Full details regarding coverage and excess amounts are outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial exposure. Review these options closely. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless you opt for extra coverage. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies depend 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, impacting your overall experience with our services in Redruth.
Prohibited Uses in Redruth
Restrictions on Vehicle Use
- Prohibited activities include any illegal use of the vehicle, such as racing, rallying, or off-roading. The transport of hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is prohibited. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, using the vehicle for purposes it is not intended for, exceeding passenger or weight limits, or driving beyond agreed geographical boundaries without authorization is not permitted.
Violation of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Redruth will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, related to your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will be limited to the rental amount paid within the last 12 months. This limitation does not apply to cases of death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
