Fareham Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Fareham are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or when you collect your vehicle. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria in Fareham
Renting a Vehicle in Fareham
- To hire a vehicle from us in Fareham, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary based on vehicle type, with potential additional fees for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence for the appropriate vehicle category is required, maintained for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. You will also need to provide valid identification and proof of your current address, along with payment information and a security deposit. Please meet any further conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or in person at our Fareham office. A deposit may be required to confirm your booking. The complete payment and security deposit are generally expected upon vehicle pickup. All charges are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, a comprehensive inspection is required to identify any pre-existing damage, which must be reported immediately. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed to document this assessment. It is your responsibility to return the vehicle in its original condition, subject to reasonable wear and tear. If new damage is found, appropriate charges will apply. Please ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as it was collected; refueling fees will be applied if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur additional fees, so inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- Basic third-party insurance is included with all vehicle rentals in Fareham. You will find detailed coverage information and excess amounts outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help limit your financial responsibility. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you opt for supplementary insurance. Damage arising from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms is your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on your booking type and the notice given. For precise details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
