Welcome to Car Hire Kettering. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website carhirekettering.co.uk and our vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Kettering Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals in Kettering are governed by a Rental Agreement that you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations for the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Rental Vehicle Requirements
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Kettering, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. A valid driving licence appropriate for the category of vehicle is required, held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of address must be provided, along with payment information and a security deposit. Please refer to the Rental Agreement for any additional requirements.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made on our website, via phone, or directly at our Kettering office. To confirm your booking, a deposit may be necessary. The remaining payment and security deposit are generally collected at the time of vehicle pick-up. 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 collection, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed by both parties. Please ensure that the vehicle is returned in the same condition as it was collected, accounting only for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. The vehicle should also be returned with the same fuel level; refueling charges will apply if the fuel level is lower. If you anticipate returning the vehicle late, please inform us as soon as possible, as additional charges may apply. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Responsibility
- All car rentals come with basic third-party insurance. Detailed coverage information, including excess amounts, can be found in the Rental Agreement. There are options for additional insurance to lower your financial responsibility. It is important to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for damage or loss up to the excess amount unless additional insurance is purchased. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For specific details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, off-roading, or engaging in hazardous actions. Transporting dangerous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Do not exceed passenger or weight limits, and avoid driving outside agreed geographical areas without authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Kettering is not 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 claims will not exceed the amount you paid for your rental in the last 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Applicable Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in this region.
