Welcome to Car Hire Tooting. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. Your use of our services signifies your acceptance of these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement that you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle collection. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your obligations related to the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Tooting
- To hire a vehicle in Tooting, you must be at least 21 years old, though restrictions may apply depending on the vehicle type, with potential extra charges for those under 25. A valid driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is required, along with proof of identity and current address. You will 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 Options
- Reservations for car hire can be easily made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Tooting location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are typically required upon vehicle collection. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT when applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with transactions processed securely through trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is important 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 you. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as it was received, accounting only for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charges will apply. Ensure that the fuel level is the same as when you picked up the vehicle; refueling fees will be incurred if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please contact us if you anticipate returning the vehicle later than agreed. You will be held responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that occur during your rental, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every vehicle rental. Details regarding coverage and the excess amount can be found in the Rental Agreement. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to lower your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless you opt for extra coverage. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice given. For precise information, please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur charges.
7. Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any dangerous driving practices. Transporting hazardous materials, sub-letting to others, or allowing unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Exceeding passenger or weight limits, along with operating outside the agreed geographical area without permission, is also prohibited.
Breach of terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, that may arise from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims is limited to the amount you paid for your rental in the past 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or for fraudulent actions.
9. Local Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be resolved exclusively in their courts.
10. Terms Updates
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Any changes will take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Your ongoing use of our services indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.
