Dartford Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals in Dartford are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or when collecting your vehicle. This agreement outlines important terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your responsibilities associated with the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria in Dartford
Renting a Vehicle in Dartford
- To hire a vehicle in Dartford, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary based on the vehicle type. Those under 25 may incur additional charges. A valid driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is required, along with proof of identity and current address. Valid payment details and a security deposit are also necessary, as outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Dartford office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The full payment and a security deposit are usually required upon collecting the vehicle. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, securely processed through trusted payment systems.
Dartford Vehicle Pickup & Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Dartford, it is crucial to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be finalized and signed to document the state of the vehicle. Please return the vehicle in the same condition it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. The vehicle should be returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur extra charges, so please contact us promptly if you anticipate any delays. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or related charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in Dartford
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance coverage. Detailed information, including excess amounts, can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help lower your financial exposure. It's important to review these options closely. You are liable for damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless you opt for supplementary coverage. Damage resulting from negligence or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges. This ensures clarity and helps us manage reservations effectively in Dartford.
