Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Plymouth will be governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or when you collect your vehicle. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance provisions, and your responsibilities during the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the terms of the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Plymouth
- To rent a vehicle in Plymouth, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type, with potential extra charges for those under 25. A valid, full driving license suited to the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit must also be provided, in addition to any other requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or at our Plymouth branch. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required 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
- When you collect your vehicle in Plymouth, please conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be completed and both you and our representative will sign it. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition as when it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure that the fuel level matches what was provided at the start of your rental; refueling charges will apply if the level is lower. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please contact us as soon as possible if you expect to return the vehicle late. You remain responsible for any parking tickets, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, in addition to an administration fee.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- All car rentals in Plymouth include basic third-party insurance as standard. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available, offering potential reductions in your liability. You are responsible for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess unless you opt for additional coverage. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For detailed information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- Prohibited activities include any illegal use of the vehicle, racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials or sub-letting the vehicle is not allowed. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol and exceeding passenger or weight limits are strictly forbidden. Additionally, operating the vehicle outside of designated geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations in Plymouth
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Plymouth will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or loss of profits, data, or business resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims is limited to the amount you paid for the rental in the past 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
9. Local Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be resolved exclusively in the courts of England and Wales.
10. Terms Updates
