Exeter Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals in Exeter are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance details, and associated charges relevant to your rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Exeter
- To rent a vehicle in Exeter, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. Those under 25 may incur additional charges. 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 are also necessary, along with any other conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or at our Exeter office. A deposit may be required to confirm your booking, with the balance and a security deposit payable upon collection of the vehicle. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards through secure transactions with trusted payment processors.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Exeter, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed to document the status of the car. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure that the fuel level matches what was provided at the start of the rental; refueling fees will apply if the vehicle is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur additional charges, so please notify us as soon as possible if you expect a delay. You will also be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, along with an associated administration fee.
5. Insurance and Liability Overview
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every vehicle rental in Exeter. You will find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in your Rental Agreement. Options for additional insurance may be available, which can help minimize your financial liability. Review these options thoroughly. You will be responsible for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless you purchase additional coverage. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
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. Please be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges, impacting your overall rental experience in Exeter.
7. Usage Restrictions
Prohibited Vehicle Uses in Exeter
- Prohibited uses include any illegal activities or purposes. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or other risky endeavors is not allowed. Transporting hazardous materials, sub-letting the vehicle, or permitting unauthorized drivers is strictly forbidden. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and traveling beyond designated geographical areas without authorization are also prohibited.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
