Welcome to Car Hire Peterlee. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website carhirepeterlee.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Peterlee are governed by a detailed Rental Agreement, which you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or when collecting your vehicle. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, charges, and your responsibilities regarding the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Peterlee:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Peterlee, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions can vary depending on the vehicle type, with extra fees for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence suited for the vehicle category is required, along with proof of identity and current address. You will also need to provide valid payment details and a security deposit, as well as meet any other conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be arranged via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Peterlee office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is usually collected at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure processing through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Peterlee, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed, requiring your signature. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, barring normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as collected; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please notify us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be held accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges accrued during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Details
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. You can find full coverage details and excess amounts in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help limit your financial exposure. It's wise to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless you opt for additional coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violations of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For precise 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 vehicle uses:
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other dangerous endeavors. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Ensure the vehicle is only used for its intended purpose, within passenger and weight limits, and only within the agreed geographical boundaries unless previously authorized.
Breach of terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, Car Hire Peterlee 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 total liability for any claim is limited to the rental amount paid in the past 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury arising from negligence or fraud.
9. Local Regulations
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the jurisdiction of the relevant English and Welsh courts.
