Welcome to Car Hire Haywards Heath. These Terms of Service outline your rights and responsibilities when using our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to comply with these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Haywards Heath come with a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines the terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your obligations 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 Haywards Heath
- To hire a vehicle in Haywards Heath, you must be at least 21 years old. Note that age restrictions can vary based on the type of vehicle, with potential additional fees for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category, is required, along with valid identification and proof of your current address. Payment information and a security deposit are necessary, as are any additional conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Bookings for our car hire services can be made via our website, over the phone, or at our Haywards Heath office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required upon collecting your vehicle. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where 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 in Haywards Heath, you are required to conduct a thorough inspection to identify any pre-existing damage and report it immediately. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by you. Upon returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated, and charges will be applied accordingly. The vehicle must be returned with the same fuel level as received; refueling fees will be charged for lower levels. Late returns may incur extra charges, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be liable for any parking tickets, traffic violations, or fees accrued during the rental period, in addition to an administration fee.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. Detailed coverage information and applicable excess amounts are outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to further limit your financial responsibility. 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 your insurance status.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on your booking type and the notice given. For detailed information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Keep in mind that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of the Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other dangerous pursuits. Transporting hazardous materials is strictly prohibited. Sub-letting to third parties or allowing unauthorized drivers is not permitted. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is forbidden. The vehicle should only be used for its intended purposes and within the agreed passenger and weight limits. Driving beyond the designated geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
Limitation of Liability in Haywards Heath
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Haywards Heath accepts no responsibility for any indirect, incidental, special, 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 exceed the amount you have paid for the rental in the last 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or for fraudulent actions.
9. Local Governance
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be resolved exclusively within the jurisdiction of their courts.
