Welcome to Aberdare Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By engaging with our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or vehicle collection. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, charges, and your responsibilities 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 with us requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Aberdare Car Hire, drivers must be a minimum of 21 years old, though age limits may differ based on vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for those under 25. A valid, full driving licence suited to the vehicle category is required, held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Renters must present valid identification and proof of their current address, along with payment details and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be specified in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations for car hire can be completed via our website, by phone, or directly at our Aberdare office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment and a security deposit are usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include applicable VAT. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed to document the state of the vehicle. Upon returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, aside from normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. The vehicle must also be returned with the same fuel level it had at pickup; refueling charges will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you expect to return the vehicle late. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges that arise during your rental, plus an applicable administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Details
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance, with comprehensive details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to limit your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain responsible for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, except where further coverage applies. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse is your liability, irrespective of any insurance coverage.
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. Late cancellations or failure to appear may incur additional fees.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited vehicle uses:
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in other risky behaviors. Transporting hazardous materials is strictly prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and operating outside of agreed geographical boundaries without permission are also violations of our terms.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire Aberdare 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 maximum liability for any claims will not exceed the total amount you paid for the rental in the past year. This provision does not affect our responsibility for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
9. Applicable Law
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be resolved exclusively in English and Welsh courts.
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.
