Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Leighton Buzzard are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Leighton Buzzard requires:
- To hire a vehicle in Leighton Buzzard, you must be at least 21 years old. Age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with potential extra fees for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence for the appropriate vehicle category is required, along with valid identification and proof of your current address. Payment information and a security deposit must also be provided, along with any other requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be completed via our website, over the phone, or at our Leighton Buzzard office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and security deposit are generally payable at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where relevant. Major credit and debit cards are accepted, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection in Leighton Buzzard, it is essential to conduct a detailed inspection of the vehicle and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed by both parties. It is your responsibility to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was received, aside from standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may result in additional charges. Ensure that the vehicle is returned with the same level of fuel as at collection; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns will incur extra charges, so please notify us if you anticipate any delays. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental period, in addition to an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Guidelines
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. You will find full coverage details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help lower your financial responsibility. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for damage or loss up to the excess amount unless additional insurance is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
Cancellation 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. Late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges, so it’s advisable to review these details carefully.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited uses of the rental vehicle:
- Using the vehicle for any unlawful activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any activities that may pose risks. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is strictly forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. Additionally, using the vehicle for purposes it was not intended for, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and driving outside agreed geographical areas without authorization is prohibited.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
