Birkenhead Car Hire Terms

Rental Terms

All vehicle rentals in Birkenhead are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at booking confirmation or upon vehicle collection. This document outlines the terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, 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.

Eligibility Criteria

Rental Vehicle Requirements

• To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Birkenhead, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. A valid driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category, is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit are also necessary, in addition to any specific requirements listed in the Rental Agreement.

Booking and Payment Process

• Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Birkenhead office. To confirm your booking, a deposit may be necessary. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through trusted payment providers.

4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off

• At the time of vehicle collection in Birkenhead, a thorough inspection is required. Any pre-existing damage must be reported immediately, and a vehicle condition report will be completed and signed. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition as received, factoring in only normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. The vehicle should also be returned with the same amount of fuel as when collected; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please contact us promptly if a delay is anticipated. You are liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental, along with an administration fee.

Insurance and Liability Coverage

• All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. The specifics of coverage and any applicable excess amounts are detailed in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options might be offered to lower your financial responsibility. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless additional coverage is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.

6. Modifications and Cancellations

Cancellation and amendment policies differ depending on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.

7. Restricted Activities

Prohibited vehicle uses:

• Use of the vehicle for any unlawful activities is strictly prohibited. This includes racing, off-roading, or any activities that may pose a risk. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle must not be used for purposes it was not intended for, nor should passenger or weight limits be exceeded. Driving outside of the agreed geographical areas without prior permission is also not permitted.

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

8. Liability Restrictions

To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Birkenhead will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profit, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our maximum liability for any claim is capped at the total amount you paid for the rental in the last 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence, or for fraudulent activities.

Governing Law in Birkenhead

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the relevant courts in this area.

10. Updates to Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Your ongoing use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
