Welcome to Car Hire St Neots. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By engaging with our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All car rentals in St Neots are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which will be provided at the time of booking confirmation or when you collect your vehicle. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, 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
Renting a vehicle in St Neots requires:
- To hire a vehicle in St Neots, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type and additional fees may apply for drivers under 25. You need a valid driving licence suited for the vehicle category, held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of current address are required, along with payment details and a security deposit. Please review the Rental Agreement for any further requirements.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our St Neots office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept all major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and signed at this point. Upon returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, with allowances made for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and additional charges may apply. The vehicle must also be returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will be applied if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur extra charges, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every car rental in St Neots. Full details, including coverage and excess amounts, can be found in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to limit your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless additional insurance is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms falls under your responsibility, regardless of existing insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For specific information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Charges may apply for late cancellations or no-shows, so it is advisable to review these details carefully.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is strictly prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in any dangerous maneuvers. Transporting hazardous materials or substances is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle must be used for its intended purposes only, adhering to passenger and weight limits. Operating outside designated geographical boundaries requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire St Neots 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 claim is limited to the amount you paid for the rental in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or for fraudulent actions.
9. Local Legal Framework
