Welcome to Harrow Car Hire. These Terms of Service outline 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, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your responsibilities associated with the rental. In cases of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Vehicle Rental Requirements
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Harrow, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with additional fees for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, along with valid identification and proof of your current address. Ensure you have valid payment information and a security deposit ready. Additional criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement must also be met.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or in person at our Harrow office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance, along with a security deposit, is generally payable upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be completed and must be signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Please ensure the fuel level matches what it was upon collection; otherwise, refueling charges will be applied. Late returns could result in additional fees, so notify us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. You will find full coverage details and any excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to limit your financial liability. It is beneficial to assess these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless additional insurance is obtained. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of existing insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise details, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited vehicle uses:
- The vehicle must not be used for illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, off-roading, or any other risky driving practices. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. The vehicle should not be sublet or driven by unauthorized individuals. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle must only be used within its intended capacity and design. Exceeding passenger or weight limits is not allowed. Driving outside designated geographical areas requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire Harrow 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 liability for any claims will not exceed the total amount paid for the rental in the past year. This limitation does not apply to instances of negligence leading to death or personal injury, nor does it cover fraud.
Governing Law in Harrow
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the relevant courts in this region.
