1. Car Rental Agreement
All vehicle rentals in Ormskirk are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which will be provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance provisions, fees, and your responsibilities for 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 Ormskirk requires:
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Ormskirk, drivers must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type. A valid driving licence, appropriate for the chosen vehicle category and held for the minimum period stated in the Rental Agreement, is required. Additionally, valid identification and proof of current address must be presented, along with payment information and a security deposit. Any further requirements will be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments in Ormskirk
- Reservations can be arranged via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Ormskirk office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment, along with a security deposit, is usually collected at the time of vehicle pickup. All rates are displayed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept all major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Ormskirk, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage immediately. A vehicle condition report will be completed and must be signed by both parties. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, allowing for normal wear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as received, as refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Should you anticipate returning the vehicle late, please contact us as soon as possible, as late returns may result in extra charges. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental, plus an associated administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. Comprehensive details, including excess amounts, can be found in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial exposure. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the stated insurance excess unless you opt for extra coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance provisions.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise details, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Please be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
