Welcome to Car Hire Chichester. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All car rentals in Chichester are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which will be provided during the booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines key terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
2. Eligibility Criteria
To hire a vehicle with us, you must:
- To hire a vehicle in Chichester, you must be at least 21 years old, although specific age restrictions may apply based on the vehicle type, with potential additional fees for drivers under 25. A valid, full driving licence must be presented, held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. Identification and current address verification are required, along with valid payment details and a security deposit. Additional conditions may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations with Car Hire can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Chichester office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment along with a security deposit is generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment platforms.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle, it is essential to perform a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as at collection to avoid refueling charges. Late returns may incur extra fees, so contact us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental, in addition to an administrative fee.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every rental in Chichester. The Rental Agreement outlines full coverage details and any applicable excess amounts. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial responsibility. You will be liable for damage or loss up to the insurance excess unless you opt for extra coverage. Negligence, misuse, or violations of these Terms remain your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
6. Cancellations and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice period provided. Please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement for the specifics related to your reservation. Be aware that late cancellations and no-shows can incur charges, impacting your overall rental experience.
7. Usage Restrictions
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- The vehicle may not be used for illegal purposes or activities, including racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited, as is sub-letting to third parties or allowing unauthorized drivers. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden, as is exceeding passenger or weight limits. Additionally, operating the vehicle outside the agreed geographical limits without prior authorization is not permitted.
Breach of terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Chichester 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 claim is limited to the rental amount you paid in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence, or for fraudulent actions.
9. Local Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be resolved exclusively in the courts of England and Wales.
10. Terms Updates
We reserve the right to amend these Terms at any time. Changes will take effect immediately upon their publication on our website. Continued use of our services indicates your agreement with the revised Terms.
