Welcome to Bolton Car Hire. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By engaging with us, 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 pickup. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations for the rental period. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire Bolton, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type. A valid driving license suitable for the vehicle category is required, along with proof of identity and current address. Ensure you have valid payment details and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations for car hire can be completed via our website, by phone, or directly at our Bolton office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment along with a security deposit is generally required upon vehicle pickup. All charges are in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pick-Up and Drop-Off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Bolton, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns could result in extra charges, so please inform us if a delay is expected. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that arise during your rental period, in addition to an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Policies
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. You can find complete coverage details and any applicable excess amounts in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to help lower your financial liability. Please review these options thoroughly. You will be responsible for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you opt for additional coverage. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse will remain 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 precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of the Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or similar high-risk pursuits is prohibited. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting to others or permitting unauthorized drivers is forbidden. Driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited. The vehicle should only be used for its intended purpose, adhering to passenger and weight restrictions. Driving beyond the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior approval.
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 Bolton 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 is capped at the rental amount you paid in the past 12 months. This limitation does not apply to cases of negligence leading to death or personal injury, or instances of fraud.
