Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided upon booking confirmation or during vehicle pickup. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your obligations for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria Wokingham
Vehicle Rental Requirements in Wokingham
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Wokingham, you must be at least 21 years of age, although requirements may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category, is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit are necessary, as are any other stipulations outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Bookings for Car Hire can be completed via our website, by phone, or at our Wokingham office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are stated in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collecting your vehicle, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be created and must be signed by you. Please ensure that the vehicle is returned in the same condition as it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. It is also required that you return the vehicle with the same level of fuel as at the time of collection; refueling charges will be applied if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may lead to extra fees, so please inform us immediately if you anticipate returning the vehicle later than expected. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, along with an administrative fee.
5. Liability and Insurance
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. You may explore additional insurance options to lower your financial exposure. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless you opt for extra insurance. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For detailed information, please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
