Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals in Scunthorpe are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle collection. This document outlines important terms, conditions, insurance information, rental charges, and your obligations as a renter. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Scunthorpe requires:
- To hire a vehicle in Scunthorpe, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with possible extra fees for drivers under 25. You should possess a valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category, held for the minimum duration stated in the Rental Agreement. It is necessary to present valid identification and proof of your current address. Additionally, provide valid payment details and a security deposit, along with any other requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Scunthorpe office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment, along with a security deposit, is usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Scunthorpe, please conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. We will complete a vehicle condition report, which you will need to sign. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, aside from normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as when you collected it; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. If you expect to return the vehicle late, please inform us as soon as possible, as late returns may result in extra charges. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with an administration fee.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- All car rentals in Scunthorpe come with basic third-party insurance. You will find comprehensive details about coverage and excess amounts in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to help lower your financial liability. Please review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you opt for extra insurance. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, regardless of existing insurance.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited uses of the rental vehicle:
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other risky behavior. Transporting hazardous materials is also not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is against policy. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should only be used for its intended purpose, adhering to passenger and weight limits. Traveling outside the designated geographical area requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
