Welcome to Car Hire Cambridge. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Cambridge are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, provided upon booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines essential terms, conditions, insurance specifics, associated charges, and your obligations 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 Cambridge
- To rent a vehicle in Cambridge, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary based on vehicle type, with potential additional fees for those under 25. A valid, full driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. You will also need to provide valid payment information and a security deposit, as well as meet any additional criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments in Cambridge
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or at our Cambridge office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is usually required at the time of vehicle collection. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment processors.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection, thoroughly inspect the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed, requiring your signature for acknowledgment. It is your responsibility to return the vehicle in the same condition as when it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be assessed and charged appropriately. Ensure that the fuel level matches what it was at the start of your rental; refueling charges will apply if the vehicle is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur additional fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental, along with a small administrative fee.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- All rentals in Cambridge include basic third-party insurance. Details regarding coverage and any excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Options for additional insurance may be available, potentially lowering your financial liability. You are accountable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess unless you opt for enhanced coverage. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, irrespective of existing insurance.
6. Cancellations and Modifications
Cancellation and modification 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 failure to show up may incur additional charges, impacting your overall rental experience in Cambridge.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities, including racing or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials or allowing unauthorized drivers is prohibited. Driving under the influence or exceeding passenger and weight limits is strictly forbidden. Additionally, driving outside designated geographical areas without prior consent is not allowed.
Noncompliance with these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Cambridge will not be 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 is limited to the amount you paid for the rental in the last 12 months. This limitation does not affect our liability for death or personal injury due to negligence, or for fraudulent actions.
9. Applicable Law
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be resolved exclusively in the courts of England and Wales.
10. Updates to Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Continued use of our services indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.
