Welcome to Leigh Car Hire. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website carhireleigh.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By utilizing our services,
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals will be governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement presented at the time of booking confirmation or upon vehicle pickup. This document outlines the terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your responsibilities related to the specific rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Rental Vehicle Requirements
- To rent a vehicle from Leigh's Car Hire, customers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary based on vehicle type. A valid driving licence appropriate for the chosen vehicle category is required, along with valid identification and proof of address. Customers must also provide payment details and a security deposit, as well as meet any other criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Terms
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Dartford office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through established payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection, it is important to carefully inspect the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and must be signed by you. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as received; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in additional charges, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Responsibility
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. For detailed coverage information and excess amounts, please refer to your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options are available to help limit your financial liability, and we suggest reviewing them thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you opt for extra insurance. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will be your responsibility, regardless of any insurance you may have.
Cancellation and Modifications
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.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Use of the vehicle for any illegal activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in any dangerous conduct. Transporting hazardous materials or subletting the vehicle to unauthorized users is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, the vehicle must not be utilized for purposes it was not intended for, nor should passenger or weight limits be exceeded. Driving beyond the agreed geographical boundaries without prior permission is also prohibited.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Leigh Car Hire 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 claim is limited to the amount you paid for the rental in the past 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence, or for fraudulent actions.
