Welcome to Car Hire Bicester. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By utilizing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Bicester are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or vehicle collection. This document outlines important terms, conditions, insurance information, charges, and your responsibilities related to the rental. Should any discrepancies arise between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Bicester:
- To rent a vehicle in Bicester, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for drivers under 25. A valid, full driving licence for the relevant vehicle category is required, held for the minimum duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. You will need to present valid identification and proof of your current address. Payment details and a security deposit are also necessary. Additional conditions may be specified in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments in Bicester
- Reservations can be completed via our website, by phone, or in person at our Bicester office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are usually collected at the time of vehicle pickup. 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 Pick-Up and Drop-Off
- At the time of collection in Bicester, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed to document the state of the car. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as it was when collected, allowing only for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. The vehicle must be returned with the same amount of fuel as at collection; otherwise, refueling charges will apply. Late returns may incur extra fees, so please inform us promptly if you expect to return the vehicle later than agreed. You will also be responsible for any parking fines, traffic offenses, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with a related administration fee.
5. Liability and Coverage
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every rental in Bicester. Full details regarding coverage and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to help lessen your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be accountable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless covered by supplementary insurance. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited uses of rental vehicle:
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities or purposes. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or similar dangerous actions is prohibited. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited. The vehicle should not be used for purposes it was not designed for, nor should passenger or weight limits be exceeded. Driving outside the designated geographical area requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Bicester 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 will not exceed the rental amount paid in the past 12 months. This limitation does not affect our liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Local Regulations
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the local courts.
