Welcome to Letchworth Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Letchworth Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Letchworth
- To hire a vehicle in Letchworth Garden City, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions can vary based on the vehicle type. Drivers under 25 may incur additional fees. A valid, full driving license appropriate for the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Payment information and a security deposit are also necessary. Please refer to the Rental Agreement for any further stipulations.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, telephone, or in person at our Letchworth Garden City office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is imperative to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by both parties. Upon returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, allowing for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated, and charges may apply. The vehicle must also be returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will be applied for any discrepancies. Late returns may incur additional costs, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be held responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
5. Insurance and Liability
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance, with comprehensive coverage details outlined in your Rental Agreement. You may explore additional insurance options to minimize your financial responsibility. Please review these choices thoroughly. You will be liable for damages or losses up to the specified insurance excess, except when covered by extra insurance. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges, affecting your overall rental experience.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful purposes or activities, including racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should only be used for its intended purposes, adhering to established passenger and weight limits. Driving outside designated geographical boundaries without prior approval is not permitted.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
