Welcome to Car Hire Cambridge. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website carhirecambridge.co.uk and our vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to comply with these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a Rental Agreement presented at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pick-up. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your obligations for the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the latter will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Cambridge
- To hire a vehicle in Cambridge, you must be at least 21 years old, though some vehicle types may impose different age limits and additional fees for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence relevant to the vehicle category is required, along with identification proving your current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit must also be provided. Additional criteria may be outlined in your Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made through our website, via phone, or directly at our Cambridge office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The full payment along with a security deposit is generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing provided by trusted payment gateways.
Cambridge Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Cambridge, it is imperative to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A condition report will be generated and must be signed by both parties. Upon return, the vehicle should be in the same condition as it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charges applied accordingly. The vehicle must be returned with the same fuel level as when it was picked up; otherwise, refueling fees will be incurred. Late returns may attract additional costs, so please notify us as soon as possible if a delay is anticipated. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges that occur during the rental period, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Guidelines
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. The Rental Agreement outlines specific coverage details and excess amounts. Additional insurance options may be available to further limit your financial liability. Review these options carefully. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless covered by supplemental insurance. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse is your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and modification policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Uses of the Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities or purposes. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or similar dangerous activities is prohibited. Transporting hazardous materials, sub-letting to unauthorized individuals, or permitting unapproved drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, or operating outside designated geographical boundaries without prior consent is strictly forbidden.
Breach of terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire Cambridge will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses, including lost profits or data, arising from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the total amount you paid for the rental in the last 12 months. This limitation does not affect our liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or for fraud.
9. Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be resolved exclusively by the courts in these jurisdictions.
10. Updates to Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Your ongoing use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
