Welcome to Car Hire Broadstairs. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By utilizing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your obligations related to the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Broadstairs
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Broadstairs, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type, with possible extra charges for drivers under 25. A valid, full driving licence matching the vehicle category is required, held for the minimum duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Please provide valid identification, proof of address, and payment details, including a security deposit. Additional requirements may be specified in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or in person at our Broadstairs office. A deposit may be required to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally due upon vehicle pick-up. All prices are displayed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept all major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment gateways.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, you are required to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage to our staff. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed as part of this process. It is your responsibility to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was received, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damages will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as when you took it; refueling charges will apply for any discrepancies. Late returns may result in extra fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate being late. You are accountable for any parking tickets, traffic violations, or associated charges incurred during the rental period, along with a small administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability in Broadstairs
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Details regarding coverage and any excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. Optional insurance may be available to help limit your financial responsibility. Please review these options carefully. You will be liable for damages or losses up to the excess amount unless additional insurance is purchased. Any damage resulting from neglect or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and modification policies depend on the type of booking and the notice given. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional fees.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Uses of Your Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful purposes or activities. This includes racing, off-roading, or any other risky endeavors. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should not be used beyond its intended purpose, and passenger or weight limits must not be exceeded. Driving outside the designated geographical area without prior consent is also prohibited.
Violation of these policies may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire in Broadstairs disclaims any responsibility for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business related to your use of our services. Our overall liability for any claims will not exceed the total amount you paid for rentals within the last 12 months. This limitation does not affect liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
9. Local Legal Framework
