Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Burnley are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines the terms, conditions, insurance specifics, associated charges, and your responsibilities for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement prevails.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Burnley, drivers must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may vary based on vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for those under 25. A valid full driving licence appropriate to the vehicle category is required, along with valid identification and proof of address. Payment information and a security deposit must also be provided, and any additional requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement must be met.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be completed via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Burnley office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and security deposit are generally payable upon collecting your vehicle. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Burnley, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be filled out and signed by both parties. You are required to return the vehicle in the same condition it was collected, taking into account standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. The vehicle should also be returned with the same fuel level as when it was collected; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur additional charges, so please inform us as soon as possible if a late return is anticipated. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that occur during your rental period, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance Coverage and Responsibility
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to help minimize your financial liability. It's advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional coverage is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective 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 failure to show up may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other dangerous pursuits. Transporting hazardous materials or sub-letting to unauthorized individuals is prohibited. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should only be used for its intended purpose, and adherence to passenger and weight limits is required. Additionally, driving outside designated geographical areas without prior consent is not allowed.
Violation of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Burnley 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 amount paid for the rental in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
