Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Gloucester are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines key terms, conditions, insurance specifics, charges, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In the event of a discrepancy between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria in Gloucester
Renting a Vehicle in Gloucester
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Gloucester, you must be at least 21 years old, though some vehicle types may have different age restrictions. A valid full driving license, appropriate for the vehicle category, is required, held for the minimum duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of your current address are necessary. Payment information and a security deposit must be provided, along with any additional requirements specified in your Rental Agreement.
3. Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made on our website, via phone, or directly at our Gloucester office. A booking deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. The remaining balance and security deposit are generally payable at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is crucial to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be documented and signed by both parties. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level; refueling charges will apply if returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur additional fees, so please notify us as soon as possible if you expect a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental period, plus an administrative fee.
5. Insurance and Liability in Gloucester
- All car rentals in Gloucester include basic third-party insurance coverage. For complete details on coverage and any applicable excess amounts, please refer to your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options are available, which can help mitigate your financial responsibility. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless further insurance is purchased. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
6. Cancellations and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise terms, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges, which can affect your overall rental experience in Gloucester.

Prohibited Uses for Your Vehicle
- Prohibited activities include any use of the vehicle for illegal purposes or dangerous tasks, such as racing or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is strictly forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is prohibited. Exceeding passenger or weight limits or venturing outside designated geographical areas without prior authorization is also against policy.
