Welcome to Car Hire Carrickfergus. These Terms of Service outline the guidelines for using our website and vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or when collecting your vehicle. This document outlines the terms, conditions, insurance coverage, associated charges, and your responsibilities for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Rental Requirements in Carrickfergus
- To hire a vehicle in Carrickfergus, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ depending on the vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category, is required, along with valid identification and proof of your current address. Ensure you provide valid payment details and a security deposit, as well as meeting any additional requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or at our Carrickfergus office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where relevant. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection in Carrickfergus, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed to ensure all details are documented. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. The vehicle must be returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will apply if the tank is not adequately filled. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate returning the vehicle late. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Provisions
- Basic third-party insurance is included with each car rental in Carrickfergus. Full details regarding coverage and excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to lower your financial liability. Reviewing these options is advisable. You are liable for damages or loss up to the excess amount, unless you have selected further coverage. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of any insurance policy.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For specific details, please 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
- Use of the vehicle for any unlawful activities is prohibited. Engaging in racing, rallying, or off-road driving is not permitted. Transporting hazardous materials is strictly forbidden. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized individuals to drive it is not allowed. Operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle must be used only for its intended purpose, and adherence to passenger and weight limits is required. Driving outside the agreed geographical boundaries without prior approval is not permitted.
Breaching these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Car Hire in Carrickfergus is not responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will be limited to the amount you paid for the rental in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or for fraudulent actions.
9. Local Law Applicability
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Any disagreements will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the relevant courts in this region.
