Welcome to Tipton Car Hire. These Terms of Service outline the rules for using our website carh hiretipton.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. 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 the terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your responsibilities for that specific rental. In any case of discrepancy between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle with us requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Tipton Car Hire, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ depending on the vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for drivers under 25. You need a valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category, held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of current address are required, along with payment information and a security deposit. Additional criteria may be specified in the Rental Agreement.
Reservation and Payment Details
- Reservations for Car Hire in Tipton can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Tipton office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Payment in full, along with a security deposit, is generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure processing through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and must be signed by both parties. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, allowing for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charges may apply accordingly. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same level of fuel as when collected; refueling fees will be assessed if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns could result in additional charges, so please contact us immediately if a delay is anticipated. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Responsibility
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. You will find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial liability. It is beneficial to review these options closely. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless additional insurance applies. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse is your responsibility, regardless of existing insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please review your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited vehicle uses:
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities or purposes. This includes racing, off-roading, or engaging in other risky behaviors. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited, as is sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should only be used as intended, adhering to passenger and weight limits, and must not be driven outside designated geographical boundaries without prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Tipton Car Hire 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 claim 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 fraud.
9. Applicable Law
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the English and Welsh courts.
Updates to Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Continued use of our services implies acceptance of the revised Terms.
