Welcome to Barnet Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By utilizing our offerings, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Barnet are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking or vehicle collection. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, associated fees, and your obligations for the rental period. In cases of discrepancy between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle: Requirements
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Barnet, drivers 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 driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is necessary, along with proof of identity and current address. Valid payment details and a security deposit are also required. Any other conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement must be met.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made directly through our website, via telephone, or by visiting our Barnet office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and any security deposits are usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. 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 providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared for review and signature. The vehicle must be returned in the same condition as it was received, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged appropriately. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as collected; refueling fees will be applied if the fuel level is lower. Late returns could incur extra charges, so please inform us as soon as possible if you expect to return the vehicle late. You will be held accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, in addition to an administration fee.
Insurance and Responsibility
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Detailed information about coverage and any excess amounts is outlined in the Rental Agreement. Options for additional insurance may be offered to limit your financial responsibility. Be aware that you are liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless further coverage is acquired. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse is 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 specific information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Charges may apply for late cancellations or no-shows. Be aware of these guidelines to manage your reservation effectively.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Uses for Vehicle
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is strictly prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, or off-roading, as well as transporting hazardous materials. The vehicle must not be sub-let to others or operated by unauthorized drivers. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is forbidden. Exceeding passenger limits or using the vehicle outside designated areas without authorization is not allowed.
Violation of these terms may lead to immediate rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Barnet 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 prior 12 months. This limitation does not affect our liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or for fraudulent activities.
9. Applicable Law
These Terms are subject to the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be resolved exclusively in their courts.
