St Helens Car Hire Terms

Welcome to Car Hire St Helens. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website carhiresthelens.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.

Rental Terms

All vehicle rentals in St Helens come with a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, associated charges, 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

Requirements for Vehicle Rental

• To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in St Helens, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions can differ based on the vehicle selected. Drivers under 25 may incur extra fees. A valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, held for the period stated in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, you must present valid identification and proof of your current address, along with payment details and a security deposit. Please review the Rental Agreement for any further requirements.

3. Reservations and Payments

• Reservations can be completed via our website, over the phone, or directly at our St Helens office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment and security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All charges are in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. Payments can be made using major credit and debit cards through secure, trusted payment systems.

Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off

• At the time of vehicle collection in St Helens, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and requires your signature. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damages will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as at collection; otherwise, refueling fees will apply. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please inform us promptly if you anticipate any delays. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with an applicable administration fee.

Insurance and Liability in St Helens

• All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. You will find full coverage details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options might be offered to lower your financial responsibility. It's beneficial to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount, unless additional coverage is obtained. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of your insurance coverage.

6. Modifications and Cancellations

Cancellation and amendment policies differ based 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 failure to show may incur charges.

Prohibited Activities

Usage Restrictions for Rental Cars

• Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is strictly prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other form of reckless driving. Transporting hazardous materials or substances is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is prohibited. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle must be used for its intended purpose and within specified passenger and weight limits. Operating the vehicle outside designated geographical boundaries requires prior approval.

Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.

8. Liability Limitations in St Helens

To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire St Helens is not 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 claim will not exceed the rental amount paid in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury arising from negligence or fraud.

9. Local Legal Framework
