Runcorn Car Hire Terms

Welcome to Car Hire Runcorn. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website carhireruncorn.co.uk and our vehicle rental services. By using our services, you agree to these terms.

Rental Terms

All vehicle rentals in Runcorn are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement presented at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your responsibilities for that rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.

Eligibility Criteria

Renting a vehicle in Runcorn requires:

• To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Runcorn, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. Drivers under 25 may incur additional charges. A valid full driving license, appropriate for the vehicle category, is required, along with identification and proof of current address. Payment information and a security deposit must also be provided, along with any other criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement.

3. Reservations and Payments

• Reservations can be arranged via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Runcorn office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. 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, processed securely by established payment providers.

4. Car Pickup and Drop-off

• At the time of vehicle collection in Runcorn, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. You will complete and sign a vehicle condition report to document its state. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, accounting only for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. Additionally, ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will apply if the tank is not at the agreed level. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please notify us promptly if you expect to be late. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental, along with an administration fee.

5. Coverage and Responsibility

• All car rentals in Runcorn come with basic third-party insurance included. You will find comprehensive details about coverage and excess amounts within your Rental Agreement. There may be additional insurance options available that can lower your financial liability. It is beneficial to review these options closely. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless you opt for additional insurance. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will be your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
