Welcome to Hitchin Car Hire Services. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By using our services, you agree to these terms.
Hitchin Car Rental Agreement
All vehicle rentals in Hitchin are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, associated charges, and your responsibilities for the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Hitchin
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Hitchin, drivers must be at least 21 years old, although restrictions may apply based on the vehicle type, with added fees for those under 25. A valid full driving license is required, along with proof of identity and address. Payment details and a security deposit must also be provided. Additional stipulations can be found in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments in Hitchin
- Reservations for our car hire services in Hitchin can be completed through our website, via phone, or at our local office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All charges are in British Pounds (£) and inclusive of VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, please conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by both parties. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition it was collected, barring normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges accrued during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
5. Liability and Coverage
- All car rentals in Hitchin include basic third-party insurance, with details of coverage and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to lower your financial liability. Be aware that any damage or loss up to the insurance excess is your responsibility unless further coverage is acquired. Negligence or misuse will remain your liability, regardless of insurance status.
6. Cancellations 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 no-shows may incur additional charges, impacting your overall rental experience in Hitchin.
