Welcome to Car Hire Stockport. These Terms of Service outline the rules for using our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Stockport 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 terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your obligations for the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the latter will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Car Hire Rental Requirements
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Stockport, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, and extra charges may apply for those under 25. A full, valid driving licence for the relevant vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of current address. Valid payment details and a security deposit must also be provided, alongside any other requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Stockport office. A booking deposit may be required to confirm your reservation. Full payment and a security deposit are generally due upon vehicle collection. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection, please conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be filled out and signed as part of the rental process. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition as when it was collected, with allowances made for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be assessed and charged accordingly. Ensure that the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling charges will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns could result in additional fees, so please contact us as soon as possible if you expect to be late. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges accrued during your rental period, along with a processing fee.
5. Insurance and Responsibility
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance as standard. Specific coverage details and excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. There may be additional insurance options available to help limit your financial responsibility. It is advisable to review these options closely. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you have opted for extra coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of your insurance status.
6. Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For detailed information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Please be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Vehicles must not be used for any unlawful purposes or activities. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in any dangerous maneuvers. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Additionally, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and operating outside designated geographical boundaries without prior approval are strictly forbidden.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
Liability Limitations in Stockport
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire Stockport will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, related to your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the total amount paid for your rental in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability arising from negligence resulting in death or personal injury, or from fraudulent activities.
9. Local Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the relevant courts.
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.
