Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or upon vehicle collection. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, charges, and your obligations for the rental period. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Hendon
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Hendon, you must be at least 21 years old, although age limits may differ by vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence appropriate to the vehicle category is required, along with proof of identity and current address. Valid payment details and a security deposit must also be provided, along with any additional requirements noted in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Bookings can be completed via our website, by phone, or directly at our Hendon office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required upon vehicle pick-up. All pricing is listed in British Pounds (£) and includes VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed through trusted payment platforms for your security.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damages without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and must be signed to confirm the vehicle's status. Upon returning the vehicle, ensure it is in the same condition as when it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damages will be evaluated, and charges will be applied accordingly. The vehicle should be returned with the same fuel level as it was provided; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur additional fees, so please notify us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental, along with a nominal administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in Hendon
- Basic third-party insurance is included with all vehicle rentals in Hendon. Detailed coverage information and any applicable excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help minimize your financial liability. You will be liable for damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional insurance is purchased. Damage stemming from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of your insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. Please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement for precise information. Charges may apply for late cancellations or no-shows, so it’s advisable to manage your reservations accordingly.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses in Hendon
- The vehicle must not be used for illegal purposes or activities, including racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials or sub-letting to unauthorized drivers is prohibited. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Ensure that passenger and weight limits are observed, and do not operate the vehicle outside agreed geographical limits without proper authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire Hendon will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business arising from your use of our services. Our maximum liability for any claims will not exceed the total amount you paid for the rental in the preceding year. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
9. Applicable Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be resolved exclusively within the jurisdiction of the English and Welsh courts.
