Welcome to Car Hire Calne. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided during booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines the terms, conditions, insurance specifics, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Vehicle Rental Requirements in Calne
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Calne, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. Drivers under 25 may incur additional fees. A valid full driving licence appropriate for the selected vehicle category is required, along with valid identification and proof of your current address. Please present valid payment information and a security deposit, as well as any other requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Calne office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The full rental fee and any required security deposit are generally payable upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle, please conduct a comprehensive inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed. It is expected that the vehicle is returned in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. Fuel levels should match those at the time of collection; refueling fees will apply if the vehicle is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur additional fees, so please contact us as soon as possible if you foresee a delay. You are liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with an administration fee.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance, with details on coverage and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to lower your financial liability. It is important to review these options thoroughly. You will be responsible for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless additional insurance is in place. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Charges may apply for late cancellations or no-shows, so it is advisable to manage your reservations accordingly.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Vehicles rented through Car Hire must not be used for illegal activities, including racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials is strictly prohibited. Sub-letting to unauthorized parties or allowing unapproved drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is forbidden. The vehicle should only be used for its intended purpose, adhering to passenger and weight limits, and must remain within designated geographical boundaries unless prior consent has been obtained.
Breach 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 Calne will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, that may arise from your use of our services. Our liability for any claims will be limited to the rental amount you paid in the previous year. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
9. Local Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in these regions.
10. Terms Updates
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately once posted on our site. Continued use of our services indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.
