Welcome to Car Hire Welwyn Garden City. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website and vehicle rental options. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Local Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria in Welwyn Garden City
Renting a vehicle in Welwyn Garden City
- To hire a vehicle in Welwyn Garden City, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence appropriate for the vehicle must be held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of your current address are required, along with payment information and a security deposit. Additional requirements may also be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made directly through our website, by phone, or at our Welwyn Garden City office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment along with a security deposit is generally required upon collecting your vehicle. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept all major credit and debit cards, securely processed through trusted payment systems.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Welwyn Garden City, you are required to conduct a thorough inspection of the car and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed by both parties. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition as received, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. The vehicle should be returned with the same fuel level as at collection, as refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur extra charges; please contact us as soon as possible if you foresee a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that occur during the rental period, alongside an administration fee.
5. Insurance and Responsibility
- All rentals in Welwyn Garden City include basic third-party insurance. Full details, including excess amounts, are outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to mitigate your financial responsibility. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless further coverage is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For detailed information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Charges may apply for late cancellations or no-shows, so be sure to review the terms carefully.
