Welcome to Caversham Car Hire Services. These Terms of Service outline the rules for using our website carhirecaversham.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By utilizing our services, you agree to these terms.
Caversham Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Caversham are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, and your obligations related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the provisions in the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Caversham
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Caversham, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type, with extra fees for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence for the appropriate vehicle category is required, held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. You will also need to present valid identification and proof of your current address, as well as provide payment information and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Caversham 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 include VAT as applicable. We accept all major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and signed at this stage. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for reasonable wear and tear. Any new damage identified upon return will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Additionally, please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as at the start of your rental; refueling charges will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur extra fees, so contact us promptly if a late return is anticipated. You will also be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, plus an administrative fee.
5. Insurance and Accountability
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Details regarding coverage and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. Options for additional insurance may be available to limit your financial responsibility. You will be liable for damages or losses up to the insurance excess unless covered by extra insurance. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, irrespective of your insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. To obtain the specific details relevant to your reservation, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for illegal activities or purposes. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or any hazardous activities is prohibited. Transporting dangerous materials or sub-letting the vehicle to third parties is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden, along with exceeding passenger or weight limits. Additionally, driving beyond agreed geographical boundaries without proper authorization is not permitted.
Breach of terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Caversham 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 claims is capped at the rental amount paid in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury arising from negligence or fraud.
9. Applicable Law
