Gosforth Car Hire Terms

Rental Terms

All vehicle rentals in Gosforth are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or vehicle collection. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, charges, and your responsibilities associated with the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take priority.

Eligibility Criteria

Renting a vehicle in Gosforth:

• To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Gosforth, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions can vary based on vehicle type. Drivers under 25 may incur extra charges. A valid full driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Valid payment details and a security deposit are also necessary, along with any other requirements stated in the Rental Agreement.

3. Reservations and Payments

• Reservations can be completed via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Gosforth office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All fees are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through trusted payment providers.

Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off

• At the time of collection, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be completed and must be signed by both parties. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same state as when collected, allowing for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. The vehicle must also be returned with the same fuel level; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur extra charges, so please inform us if you expect a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental period, along with a related administration fee.

Insurance and Liability Policies

• 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 help lower your financial responsibility. It is advisable to examine these thoroughly. You remain liable for damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless otherwise covered by additional insurance. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse will be your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.

6. Modifications and Cancellations

Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.

7. Restricted Uses

Prohibited Vehicle Uses

• The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful purposes or activities. This includes racing, off-roading, or any dangerous driving practices. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle to others or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should not be used for purposes it was not designed for, nor should it exceed passenger or weight limits. Driving beyond the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.

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, Car Hire in Gosforth will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims is capped at the rental amount paid in the past year. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.

9. Local Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be resolved exclusively in 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. Your ongoing use of our services indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.
