Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in New Milton are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle collection. This document outlines essential terms, conditions, insurance information, charges, and your responsibilities related to the specific rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in New Milton
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in New Milton, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid full driving license relevant to the vehicle category is required, held for the minimum duration stated in your Rental Agreement. You need to present valid identification and proof of your current address. Additionally, valid payment information and a security deposit will be necessary, along with any other specific requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations for Car Hire can be made via our website, by telephone, or in person at our New Milton office. A booking deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required upon vehicle collection. All pricing is listed in British Pounds (£) and includes VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in New Milton, it is crucial to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and must be signed before you take possession of the vehicle. The car should be returned in the same state as it was collected, accounting for reasonable wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated, and charges may apply. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as when collected; failure to do so will result in refueling charges. Late returns may incur additional fees, so please contact us without delay if you expect to return the vehicle late. You are liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with an applicable administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. The Rental Agreement outlines full coverage details and excess amounts. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to lessen your financial liability. Review these options carefully. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless covered by additional insurance. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse is your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
6. Cancellations and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or missed appointments may incur additional charges, which can affect your overall rental costs.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful purposes or activities. This includes racing, off-roading, or engaging in any hazardous driving situations. Transporting dangerous materials or sub-letting the vehicle to unauthorized drivers is prohibited. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is forbidden, as are activities for which the vehicle is unsuitable. Adhering to passenger and weight limits is mandatory, along with staying within agreed geographical boundaries without prior authorization.
Violation of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
