Welcome to Car Hire Chesham. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website carhirechesham.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By engaging with our services, you agree to these terms.
Chesham Car Hire Agreement
All car rentals in Chesham are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking or vehicle pickup. This document outlines the key terms, conditions, insurance coverage, charges, and your obligations for the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the latter will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Car in Chesham
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Chesham, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age requirements may differ based on vehicle type. A valid full driving licence, appropriate to the vehicle category, must be held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, you will need to provide identification, proof of address, valid payment details, and a security deposit, fulfilling any extra conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be arranged via our website, telephone, or directly at our Chesham office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The full payment along with a security deposit is usually required upon vehicle pickup. All charges are presented in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely by trusted payment partners.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, you are required to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. We will prepare a vehicle condition report that must be completed and signed by you. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, barring normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and fees will be applied accordingly. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as at pickup, as refueling charges will be incurred if the level is lower. Late returns may attract extra charges; if you foresee a delay, please contact us as soon as possible. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges that occur during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
5. Insurance and Liability Coverage
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance. You'll find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to further limit your financial liability, and we encourage you to review these closely. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless additional coverage is purchased. Responsibility for damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains with you, irrespective of any insurance.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and modification policies differ depending on the type of booking and the notice provided. For accurate details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Usage
- Prohibited actions include using the vehicle for illegal activities or purposes. Engaging in racing, off-roading, or any dangerous driving practices is not allowed. Transporting hazardous materials or sub-letting the vehicle to unauthorized individuals is strictly forbidden. Driving under the influence of substances, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and venturing beyond the agreed geographical boundaries without proper consent are also violations of our terms.
Breach of terms may lead to rental termination and fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Chesham will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business related to your use of our services. Our total liability for claims will not exceed the rental amount you paid in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
9. Applicable Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be exclusively handled by the courts in this jurisdiction.
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.
