Welcome to Car Hire Bicester. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By engaging with our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Bicester are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle pick-up. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In instances of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take priority.
Eligibility Criteria
Requirements for Vehicle Rental
- To rent a vehicle in Bicester, drivers must be at least 21 years old; age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, with potential extra fees for those under 25. A valid, full driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. Renters must also present valid identification and proof of current address, along with valid payment details and a security deposit. Additional criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement must be met.
Bicester Car Hire: Booking & Payments
- Reservations can be completed via our website, by phone, or directly at our Bicester office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment along with a security deposit is usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. All charges are listed in British Pounds (£) and include applicable VAT. We accept major credit and debit cards through secure payment channels.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection in Bicester, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed to document its state. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, allowing for normal wear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. The vehicle must also be returned with the same fuel level; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel than when collected. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please contact us right away if you anticipate any delays. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges that arise during your rental, as well as a nominal administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All car rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. You can find full coverage details and excess amounts outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help lower your financial liability. It’s advisable to review these options closely. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless you opt for additional coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of existing insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or missed reservations may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for illegal activities, including racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle 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 its intended purpose and within specified passenger and weight limits. Travel beyond the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Limits in Bicester
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire in Bicester is not responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits or data, that may arise 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 personal injury or death resulting from negligence or fraud.
9. Local Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be handled exclusively in the courts of this jurisdiction.
