Welcome to Bilston Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Bilston Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement that you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pick-up. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations pertaining 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
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Bilston, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ depending on the vehicle type, with extra charges for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence for the appropriate vehicle category is required, along with proof of identity and current address. You will also need to provide valid payment details and a security deposit, as well as meet any additional criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations for vehicle hire can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Bilston office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and a security deposit are generally payable at the time of vehicle pick-up. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include applicable VAT. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is imperative to conduct a thorough inspection and report any existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be filled out and signed to document the vehicle's state. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as it was collected, aside from 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; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Should you anticipate a late return, contact us as soon as possible, as late returns may result in extra charges. You are liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Policies
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Full details regarding coverage and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Optional insurance may be available to limit financial liability, so reviewing these options is beneficial. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, except when additional insurance is obtained. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse is solely your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For accurate 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 uses of the rental vehicle:
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is strictly prohibited. This includes racing, off-roading, or engaging in any hazardous driving practices. The transport of dangerous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is forbidden. Driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle must be used for its intended purpose, adhering to passenger and weight limits. Travel beyond the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Bilston will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits or data, resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the rental amount you paid in the last 12 months. This limitation does not apply to cases of negligence leading to personal injury or death, or instances of fraud.
9. Applicable Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the jurisdiction of the English and Welsh courts.
10. Updates to Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect as soon as they are posted on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
