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 provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, and your responsibilities 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 Gloucester
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Gloucester, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may apply depending on the vehicle type. A valid driving licence for the appropriate category is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Ensure you provide valid payment details and a security deposit, as specified in the Rental Agreement, which may include additional stipulations.
Booking and Payment Information
- Reservations can be easily arranged via our website, by phone, or at our Gloucester office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and inclusive of VAT, where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, securely processed through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle from Car Hire in Gloucester, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and must be signed by both parties. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charges applied accordingly. The vehicle must be returned with the same fuel level as at collection; otherwise, refueling charges will be incurred. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you expect a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges during the rental period, along with a corresponding administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in Gloucester
- All car rentals in Gloucester include basic third-party insurance, with comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to further limit your financial responsibility. You will remain liable for damages or losses up to the insurance excess, unless additional coverage is purchased. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse is solely your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
Cancellation 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.
