Exeter Car Hire Terms
All vehicle rentals in Exeter are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or when collecting your vehicle. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable fees, and your obligations during the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
2. Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Exeter
- To hire a vehicle in Exeter, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type, and additional fees may apply for those under 25. A valid full driving licence for the appropriate vehicle category is required, held for the minimum duration stated in the Rental Agreement. Drivers must present valid identification and proof of current address, along with valid payment details and a security deposit. Any other specific requirements will be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Information
- Reservations can be made conveniently via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Exeter office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and any security deposit are typically due at the time you collect your vehicle. All pricing is displayed in British Pounds (£) and includes VAT as applicable. We accept all major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through established payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Exeter, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be prepared 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 charged accordingly. Ensure the fuel level matches what it was at the time of collection; refueling charges will apply if the vehicle is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur additional fees, so please reach out to us if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental period, along with a small administration fee.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every rental in Exeter. Details regarding coverage and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Optional insurance plans may be available to lower your financial responsibility. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless additional insurance is purchased. Negligence or misuse will always remain your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice given. For specific terms, please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Note that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges, impacting your overall rental experience in Exeter.
7. Usage Restrictions
Exeter Vehicle Use Restrictions
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any dangerous pursuits. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is strictly forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle must not be used for purposes it is not intended for, nor may it exceed passenger or weight limits. Driving outside designated geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations in Exeter
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Exeter 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.
