Welcome to Car Hire Gloucester. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Gloucester are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or vehicle pick-up. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, charges, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the latter will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria for Gloucester
Renting a Car in Gloucester
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Gloucester, you must be at least 21 years old, with specific age restrictions applying to certain vehicle types. Drivers under 25 may incur additional fees. A valid full driving licence relevant to the vehicle category is required, along with valid identification and proof of address. Payment information and a security deposit must also be provided, in addition to any requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments in Gloucester
- Reservations can be arranged via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Gloucester office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All charges are in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept all major credit and debit cards through secure payment methods.
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 and signed by both parties. The vehicle must be returned in the same condition as when it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will apply for lower levels. Late returns may incur additional charges, so contact us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability in Gloucester
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance, with full coverage and excess details outlined in the Rental Agreement. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to lower your financial liability. Be aware that you are liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount, unless additional coverage is obtained. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse will remain your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of reservation and the notice provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Keep in mind that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges, which vary depending on the specifics of your booking.
