Welcome to Car Hire Oldham. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By using our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines the terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take priority.
Eligibility Criteria
Requirements for Vehicle Rental
- To rent a vehicle in Oldham, you must be at least 21 years old. Age restrictions may apply based on the vehicle type, and drivers under 25 may incur additional charges. A valid driving license, suitable for the vehicle category, is required, along with valid identification and proof of your current address. You will need to provide valid payment information and a security deposit, as well as meet any other requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be completed via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Oldham office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and a security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include applicable VAT. We accept 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 completed and signed to document its status. Upon returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may result in additional charges. The vehicle must be returned with the same fuel level; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur extra fees, so please notify us immediately if you anticipate a delay. You will also be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, in addition to an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every vehicle rental. Comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial exposure. It is advisable to review these options closely. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount, unless you opt for extra coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of existing insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice provided. For detailed information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rented Vehicle
- Use of the vehicle for illegal purposes or activities is strictly prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in any hazardous driving practices. Transporting dangerous materials, sub-letting to others, or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, or operating outside designated geographical boundaries without permission is also forbidden.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire Oldham is not responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business related to your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the total rental amount paid in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
