Welcome to Barking Car Hire Services. These Terms of Service govern your access to our website and vehicle rental offerings. By utilizing our services, you agree to the following terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Barking are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement issued at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle collection. This document outlines essential terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable fees, and your obligations for the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting Made Simple
- To hire a vehicle through Car Hire in Barking, drivers must be at least 21 years old, with age limits varying by vehicle type, and additional fees may apply for those under 25. A valid driving licence for the relevant vehicle category is required, along with proof of identity and current address. Payment information and a security deposit must also be provided, as well as any other stipulations outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments
- Reservations can be made through our website, via telephone, or directly at our Barking location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment, along with a security deposit, is usually required upon vehicle pickup. All charges are listed in British Pounds (£) and inclusive of VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processing payments securely through trusted providers.
4. 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 signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, allowing for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. When returning the vehicle, please ensure it has the same fuel level as when collected; refueling charges apply for lower levels. Late returns may incur additional fees, so please contact us if a delay is expected. You will be held responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Policies
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available, which can help lower your financial liability. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you opt for extra insurance. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of any insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and modification 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 could incur additional charges. It is advisable to plan accordingly to avoid any unexpected fees.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Uses for Rental Vehicles
- Prohibited uses of the vehicle include engaging in illegal activities or any form of racing, rallying, or off-roading. The vehicle must not be used to transport hazardous materials or for purposes beyond its intended design. Sub-letting to third parties or allowing unauthorized drivers is strictly forbidden. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is not acceptable, nor is exceeding passenger or weight limits. Travelling outside the designated geographical area requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
Limitation of Responsibility
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire in Barking will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our liability for any claims is limited to the total amount you paid for the rental within the past 12 months. This limitation does not apply to cases involving death or personal injury due to negligence or instances of fraud.
9. Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be addressed under the jurisdiction of the relevant courts in these regions.
10. Terms Updates
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes will take effect as soon as they are posted on our website. Your ongoing use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
