Widnes Car Hire Terms

Welcome to Car Hire Widnes. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website carhirewidnes.co.uk and our vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.

Rental Terms

All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement that you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your responsibilities for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.

Eligibility Criteria

Renting a vehicle with us requires:

• To rent a vehicle in Widnes, you must be at least 21 years old. Age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with added fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence for the appropriate vehicle category is required, along with proof of identification and current address. Valid payment details and a security deposit are also necessary, as well as any further requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.

3. Reservations and Payments

• Reservations for car hire can be made via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Widnes location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment and security deposit are generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where 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 in Widnes, a thorough inspection is required to identify and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed by both parties. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as when it was picked up; refueling charges will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in extra fees, so please contact us promptly if you anticipate a delay. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental period, in addition to an administrative fee.

Insurance and Liability Details

• All rentals come with basic third-party insurance, with full coverage details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help lower your financial liability. It is important to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for damage or loss up to the insurance excess unless you opt for additional coverage. Any damages resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remain your responsibility, regardless of insurance.

6. Modifications and Cancellations

Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur additional charges.

Prohibited Activities

Prohibited Uses of the Vehicle

• Use of the vehicle for any unlawful activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any activities deemed hazardous. Transporting dangerous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting or permitting unauthorized drivers is strictly forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and operating outside designated geographical boundaries without permission are also unacceptable practices.

Breaching these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.

8. Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Widnes will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, 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 previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraudulent actions.

Widnes Legal Framework

These Terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Disputes will be handled exclusively by the courts in this jurisdiction.

Updates to Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect as soon as they are posted on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the updated Terms.
