Welcome to Car Hire Gloucester. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By utilizing our offerings, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Gloucester are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement issued at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, charges, and your obligations related to the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the latter will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Gloucester
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Gloucester, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type. Drivers under 25 may incur additional fees. A valid, full driving licence appropriate to the vehicle category is required, held for the minimum period outlined in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of address must be provided, along with payment details and a security deposit. Please review the Rental Agreement for any extra requirements.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made through our website, via phone, or directly at our Gloucester location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required at the time of vehicle collection. All pricing is displayed in British Pounds (£) and includes VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Gloucester, you are required to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be generated and signed to document the state of the vehicle. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition as received, allowing for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged appropriately. Ensure the fuel level matches what was provided at the start of the rental; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur extra charges, so contact us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during the rental period, in addition to an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in Gloucester
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Details regarding coverage and any excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to minimize your financial responsibility. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you opt for extra coverage. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse is your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
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. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur charges, impacting your overall rental experience.
