Welcome to Car Hire Bury St Edmunds. 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 Bury St Edmunds are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your responsibilities for the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Bury St Edmunds requires:
- To hire a vehicle in Bury St Edmunds, drivers must be a minimum of 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type. Those under 25 may incur additional charges. A valid full driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of current address. Payment details and a security deposit must also be provided. Any further conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement must be met.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or at our Bury St Edmunds location. 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 as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with transactions processed securely through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection in Bury St Edmunds, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by both parties. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as when it was collected; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please contact us as soon as possible if you expect to return the vehicle later than agreed. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that occur during the rental period, along with a small administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. Detailed information regarding coverage and excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount, unless further insurance is acquired. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will be your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Please be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited uses of rental vehicle:
- The vehicle may not be used for any illegal activities. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or similar risky behaviors. Transporting hazardous materials or sub-letting the vehicle to third parties is prohibited. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, the vehicle should not be used beyond its intended purpose, exceeded passenger or weight limits, or operated outside the designated geographical area without prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and fees.
