Fareham Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals in Fareham are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your obligations during 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 in Fareham
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Fareham, you must be at least 21 years old, with specific age restrictions for certain vehicle types, which may incur extra charges for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category and held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement, is required. Additionally, you must present valid identification and proof of your current address, along with payment details and a security deposit. Any further requirements will be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made via our website, by calling our office, or visiting our Fareham branch. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment along with a security deposit is usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as 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, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and both parties must sign it. Upon returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, allowing for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and appropriate charges will apply. The vehicle must be returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will be incurred if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be liable for any parking tickets, traffic violations, or other charges that arise during your rental period, along with a small administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability in Fareham
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance in Fareham. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts will be outlined in your Rental Agreement. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to limit your financial liability. Please review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess unless additional coverage applies. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, regardless of existing insurance provisions.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses in Fareham
- Use of the vehicle for any illegal activities is prohibited. This includes participating in racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other dangerous actions. Transporting hazardous materials or sub-letting the vehicle to unauthorized individuals is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and operating outside designated geographical areas without prior approval are strictly forbidden.
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 will not be held accountable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services in Fareham.
