Welcome to Barnet Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or when you collect the vehicle. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance details, applicable charges, and your responsibilities for the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the latter will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Barnet
- To hire a vehicle in Barnet, you must be at least 21 years old, although specific age restrictions may apply depending on the vehicle type. A valid driving licence suited to the vehicle category is required, along with proof of current address and identification. You will also need to provide valid payment details and a security deposit, as well as meet any additional requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Barnet location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through established 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 must be signed by both parties. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as when it was collected, accounting for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. It is required that the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or related charges incurred during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Policy
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to lower your financial responsibility. Be aware that you are liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount, unless additional insurance is in place. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
Cancellation Policy and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Uses of Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities, including racing or off-roading. It is prohibited to transport hazardous materials or sublet the vehicle to unauthorized individuals. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, the vehicle must not be used for purposes outside its intended design, nor should passenger and weight limits be exceeded. Driving beyond agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
