Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle collection. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance provisions, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will be the authoritative document.
Eligibility Criteria
Requirements for Car Rental
- To hire a vehicle in Macclesfield, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for those under 25. A valid, full driving licence relevant to the vehicle category is required, held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Identification and proof of current address must be provided, along with valid payment information and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be detailed in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Macclesfield office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment and a security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include applicable VAT. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment platforms.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Macclesfield, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed to confirm the vehicle’s status. Upon returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure that the fuel level matches what was provided at collection; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please notify us as soon as possible if a delay is anticipated. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Details
- All rentals in Macclesfield come with basic third-party insurance as standard. You will find comprehensive coverage details and the applicable excess amounts outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may help limit your financial liability; we suggest reviewing these thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional insurance is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or a breach of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of your insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
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. Late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited uses of the vehicle:
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities, including racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting to others or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should only be used for intended purposes and must not 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.
