Welcome to Car Hire Uckfield. 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 Uckfield are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided during booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle pickup. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, charges, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Uckfield
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Uckfield, drivers must be at least 21 years old. Age restrictions may apply based on vehicle type, with a surcharge for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category, is required, along with proof of identity and current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit must also be provided, along with any additional requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be easily made via our website, by phone, or at our Uckfield office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking, while the full payment and security deposit are typically required at the time of vehicle pick-up. All charges are in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept all major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pick-Up and Drop-Off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Uckfield, you are required to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damages without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed at this stage. Please return the vehicle in the same condition it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as when collected; refueling charges will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns could result in extra fees, so contact us promptly if you anticipate a delay. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred throughout the rental period, along with an administrative fee.
5. Liability and Coverage
- Basic third-party insurance is included with all car rentals in Uckfield. The Rental Agreement provides comprehensive details about coverage and excess amounts. You may have options to purchase additional insurance to further limit your financial liability. Please review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for damages or losses up to the excess amount unless additional coverage is obtained. Responsibility for damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains with you, irrespective of any insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies are determined by the type of booking and the notice given. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or missed appointments may incur additional charges.
