Welcome to Barrow Car Hire Services. 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 are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance details, fees, and your obligations related to 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 rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Barrow, you must be at least 21 years old, although specific age restrictions may apply based on the vehicle type, with additional fees for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is required, held for the minimum duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. You must also present valid identification and proof of your current address, along with payment information and a security deposit. Any further requirements will be detailed in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Information
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or in person at our Barrow office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment and security deposit are usually required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, you are required to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and must be signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as received, allowing for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charges applied accordingly. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as noted at collection; refueling fees will be incurred if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may result in additional charges, so please contact us as soon as possible if you expect to return the vehicle late. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that arise during the rental period, along with a relevant administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Policies
- Basic third-party insurance is included with all rentals in Barrow. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options are available to help lower your financial exposure. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount, unless additional coverage is purchased. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance status.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Prohibited activities include any illegal use of the vehicle, such as racing, rallying, or off-roading. The transport of hazardous materials is strictly forbidden. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not permitted. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is illegal. Vehicles must not be used for purposes outside their intended design or exceed established passenger and weight limits. Driving beyond agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
Limitation of Responsibility
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Barrow will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims is limited to the amount you paid for the rental in the last 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud.
9. Local Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be resolved exclusively in the courts of this jurisdiction.
10. Updates to Terms
