Welcome to Car Hire Tunbridge Wells. 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 car rentals in Tunbridge Wells are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance details, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Requirements for Vehicle Rental
- To rent a vehicle with Car Hire in Tunbridge Wells, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for drivers under 25. A valid, full driving licence appropriate for your chosen vehicle category is required, held for the minimum period stated in the Rental Agreement. You will need to provide valid identification and proof of your current address, along with payment information and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made through our website, by telephone, or directly at our Tunbridge Wells location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally collected at the time of vehicle pickup. All pricing is displayed in British Pounds (£) and includes VAT where relevant. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure transactions handled by established payment processors.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Tunbridge Wells, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be created and must be signed by you. Upon return, the vehicle should be in the same condition as it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and appropriate charges will be applied. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will be incurred if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please contact us if you anticipate any delays. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges accumulated during the rental, along with a small administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in Tunbridge Wells
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. Detailed coverage information and any excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to minimize your financial risk. It is advisable to review these options. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless further coverage is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance status.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Please be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur charges that reflect the terms of your booking.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Prohibited activities include using the vehicle for illegal purposes or racing, off-roading, or any hazardous driving. Transporting dangerous materials and sub-letting to unauthorized individuals is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding weight or passenger limits, and operating outside designated geographical boundaries without consent are strictly forbidden.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
