Rochdale Car Hire Terms

1. Rental Agreement Terms

All car rentals in Rochdale are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or vehicle collection. This document outlines the terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your obligations related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.

Eligibility Criteria

Renting a vehicle in Rochdale requires:

• To rent a vehicle in Rochdale, you must be at least 21 years of age; some vehicle categories may have different age restrictions, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid, full driving license for the vehicle type is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit are also necessary, as well as any other requirements detailed in the Rental Agreement.

3. Reservations and Payments

• Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Rochdale office. A booking deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. Full payment and a security deposit are usually 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, ensuring secure processing through trusted payment providers.

4. Picking Up and Returning Vehicles

• Upon collecting your vehicle in Rochdale, please conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be created and must be signed by both parties. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charges will be applied as necessary. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling charges will be incurred if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please contact us as soon as possible if you foresee a delay. You are liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that occur during your rental period, along with a corresponding administration fee.

Insurance and Liability Overview

• All car rentals in Rochdale come with basic third-party insurance included. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. Options for additional insurance may be available to minimize your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless you opt for additional coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.

6. Modifications and Cancellations

Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For specific details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.

Prohibited Activities

Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle

• The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities, including racing, rallying, or off-road driving. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited, as is sub-letting or allowing unauthorized individuals to drive. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, the vehicle should not be used for purposes it was not designed for, nor should passenger or weight limits be exceeded. Operating the vehicle beyond agreed geographical boundaries without prior authorization is also not allowed.

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

8. Liability Limitations

To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Rochdale will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will be limited to the rental amount paid in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.

9. Local Legal Framework

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

10. Updates to Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
