Welcome to Blandford Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your access to our website and vehicle rental offerings. By utilizing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Blandford are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or when picking up your vehicle. This document outlines essential terms, conditions, insurance coverage, associated charges, and your obligations for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Rental Vehicle Requirements
- To hire a vehicle from Blandford, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for drivers under 25. A valid, full driving licence for the vehicle category, held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement, is required. Additionally, you will need to present valid identification and proof of your current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit are necessary as well. Please review the Rental Agreement for any other specific requirements.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Blandford office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment processors.
4. Collecting and Returning Vehicles
- Upon collecting your vehicle, conduct a detailed inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed at this time. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition as received, allowing for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure that the fuel level matches what it was at pickup; refueling fees will apply if the tank is below this level upon return. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please inform us as soon as possible if you foresee a delay. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. Details on coverage and excess amounts are outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to help mitigate your financial liability. Please review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless further insurance is purchased. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse is your responsibility, regardless of your insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ depending on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Vehicles must not be used for any illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in any dangerous driving practices. Transporting hazardous materials, sub-letting to unauthorized individuals, or allowing unapproved drivers is prohibited. Additionally, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding weight or passenger limits, and operating outside designated geographic areas without permission are strictly forbidden.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Blandford will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business related to your use of our services. Our liability for any claims is capped at the total amount you paid for rental services in the past year. This limitation does not apply to cases of negligence resulting in death or personal injury, or to instances of fraud.
9. Applicable Law
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in this region.
10. Updates to Terms
We may update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
