Bracknell Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals in Bracknell are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided during booking confirmation or at vehicle pickup. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In cases where there is a discrepancy between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Vehicle Rental Requirements
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Bracknell, you must be at least 21 years old, though age limits may vary depending on the vehicle type, with additional fees applicable for drivers under 25. You are required to present a valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category, held for the minimum duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of your current address must also be provided, along with payment details and a security deposit. Please review any further requirements specified in the Rental Agreement to ensure compliance.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or at our Bracknell office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance, along with a security deposit, is usually payable upon vehicle collection. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
4. Collection and Return Process
- Upon collecting your vehicle, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed at this time. Please return the vehicle in the same state as it was collected, keeping in mind that normal wear and tear is acceptable. Any new damage will be assessed and may incur additional charges. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as when picked up; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please notify us as soon as possible if you foresee a delay. You will be accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, along with a nominal administration fee.
5. Liability and Coverage
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every car rental in Bracknell. Details regarding coverage and excess amounts are outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help limit your financial liability. It is recommended to review these options closely. You will be liable for damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless you opt for further coverage. Responsibility for damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains with you, irrespective of insurance.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and modification policies differ based on the type of booking and the advance notice 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 Vehicle Uses in Bracknell
- Prohibited activities include using the vehicle for any illegal purposes, such as racing or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials is strictly forbidden. Sub-letting the vehicle, allowing unauthorized drivers, or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is not permitted. Exceeding passenger or weight limits, or driving outside agreed geographical boundaries without proper authorization, is also prohibited.
Breach of terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Bracknell 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 will not surpass the amount paid for the rental in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or for fraudulent activities.
9. Local Legal Framework
