Croydon Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or when you collect the vehicle. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, charges, and your obligations for the rental. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria in Croydon
Requirements for Renting a Vehicle
- To hire a vehicle in Croydon, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions vary by vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for drivers under 25. You need a valid full driving licence suited to the vehicle category, held for the duration stated in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of your current address are required. Additionally, valid payment details and a security deposit must be provided. Be sure to meet any further conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- You can make bookings via our website, by telephone, or in person at our Croydon office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. The total payment and security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. Prices are displayed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where relevant. We accept major credit and debit cards, with transactions securely handled by trusted payment processors.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- When collecting your vehicle in Croydon, please conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed at this time. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, accounting only for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. The vehicle should also be returned with the same level of fuel as when it was picked up; refueling fees will apply for lower levels. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please inform us if you anticipate any delays. Additionally, you are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges that arise during your rental, along with a related administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in Croydon
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. Details regarding coverage and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to help lower your financial liability. It’s advisable to review these options closely. You will be accountable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless you have opted for additional coverage. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or any violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based 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 failure to show can lead to additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- Use of the vehicle for any illegal activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in dangerous practices. Transporting hazardous materials is also not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is prohibited. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle must be used for its intended purpose only, and passenger or weight limits must not be exceeded. Driving outside the specified geographical limits requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
