Ashington Car Hire Terms

Welcome to Ashington Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By using our services, you agree to these terms.

Rental Terms

All vehicle rentals in Ashington are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or when collecting your vehicle. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.

Eligibility Criteria

Rental Vehicle Requirements in Ashington

• To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Ashington, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for drivers under 25. You need a valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category, held for the duration stated in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of your current address are required, along with payment information and a security deposit. Additional criteria may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.

3. Reservations and Payments

• Reservations can be arranged via our website, by phone, or directly at our Ashington office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment and security deposit are generally required at the time of 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 providers.

4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off

• At the time of vehicle collection in Ashington, it is imperative to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed to document the state of the car. Upon returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when collected, aside from normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated, and charges will apply accordingly. Ensure the fuel level is the same as at pickup; otherwise, refueling charges will be applied. Late returns may incur extra fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you expect a delay. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or related charges accrued during your rental, along with an administration fee.

Insurance and Liability Terms

• All rental agreements include basic third-party insurance as standard. Comprehensive coverage information and excess amounts will be outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to limit your financial responsibility. It is important to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, except when further insurance is purchased. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance status.

6. Modifications and Cancellations

Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For specific 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 Vehicle Uses

• Use of the vehicle for any illegal activities is prohibited. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or other risky behaviors is not allowed. The transport of hazardous materials is also forbidden. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is strictly prohibited. Operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is not permitted. The vehicle must be used only for its intended purpose and within designated passenger and weight limits. Driving beyond the agreed geographical boundaries without prior approval is not acceptable.

Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.

8. Liability Restrictions

To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire Ashington is not 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 claims will not exceed the amount you paid for the rental in the last 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence, or for fraud.

9. Local Regulations

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the English and Welsh courts.

10. Updates to Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon being posted on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
