Blackburn Car Hire Terms

Car Hire Agreement

All vehicle rentals 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 provisions, fees, and your obligations for the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.

Eligibility Criteria

Renting a vehicle requires:

• To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Blackburn, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for those under 25. A valid driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of current address. Valid payment details and a security deposit must also be provided, along with any other stipulations outlined in the Rental Agreement.

3. Reservations and Payments

• Reservations for vehicle hire can be completed via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Blackburn office. A booking deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. The total payment and security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.

Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off

• At the time of vehicle collection, you are required to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be completed and must be signed by you. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as it was at collection, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may result in additional charges. The vehicle must also be returned with the same fuel level as received; if not, refueling fees will be applied. Returns that are late may incur further charges, so please inform us promptly if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with an administration fee.

Insurance and Liability Coverage

• All rentals include basic third-party insurance, with full coverage details and excess amounts outlined in your Rental Agreement. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to lower your financial liability. It's advisable to examine these options closely. You remain liable for damages or loss up to the excess amount unless additional insurance is obtained. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms is your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.

6. Modifications and Cancellations

Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For specific information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or missed reservations may incur additional fees.

7. Restricted Activities

Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle

• Prohibited activities include any illegal use of the vehicle. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or other risky behaviors is not allowed. Transporting hazardous materials or sub-letting the vehicle is prohibited. Additionally, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and traveling outside designated geographical areas without authorization are strictly forbidden.

Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.

Liability Limitations

To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Blackburn Car Hire will not be responsible 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 claim will not exceed the rental amount you paid in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or for instances of fraud.

9. Applicable Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be resolved exclusively in English and Welsh courts.

10. Amendments to Terms

We may update these Terms periodically. Changes take effect as soon as they are posted on our website. Continuing to use our services indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.
