Kettering Car Hire Terms
Welcome to Kettering Car Hire. These Terms of Service outline the guidelines for using our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement presented at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations for that rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the terms outlined in the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle with us requires:
- To rent a vehicle through Car Hire in Kettering, you must be at least 21 years old, though age limits may differ based on the vehicle type. A full, valid driving licence suitable for the category you wish to rent is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Valid payment details and a security deposit are also necessary, along with any other criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments
- Reservations for car hire in Kettering can be completed via our website, by telephone, or directly at our local office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and a security deposit are generally payable upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include applicable VAT. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through reliable payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, please conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be filled out and signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition it was received, accounting for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling charges will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may incur additional fees, so notify us promptly if you anticipate a delay. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges accrued during the rental period, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. You will find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Optional insurance plans may be offered to limit your financial responsibility. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the specified excess, except where additional insurance applies. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities, including racing, rallying, or off-roading. 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 that usage aligns with the vehicle's intended purpose and does not exceed passenger or weight limits. Operating the vehicle outside the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed under 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 rental amount paid in the prior 12 months. This limitation does not apply to claims for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Local Legal Framework
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.
Updates to Terms
We can update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
