Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement that you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, associated charges, and your responsibilities for 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 with us requires:
- To hire a vehicle in Macclesfield, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ depending on the vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, and it should have been held for the minimum duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of your current address must be presented, along with accurate payment details and a security deposit. Additional requirements may also be specified in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Terms
- Reservations for car hire in Macclesfield can be completed via our website, by telephone, or at our local office. To confirm your booking, a deposit may be necessary. The remaining balance and security deposit are generally payable upon vehicle pickup. All pricing is in British Pounds (£) and includes VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards through trusted payment processors.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle, it is imperative to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. We will complete a vehicle condition report, which you will need to sign. The vehicle must be returned in the same condition as when it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may result in additional charges. Please return the vehicle with the same amount of fuel as it had at pickup; refueling fees will be applied if the fuel level is lower. Late returns could incur extra charges, so please inform us as soon as possible if a delay arises. You will be held accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental, in addition to a processing fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. You will find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in your Rental Agreement. Options for additional insurance may be offered to minimize your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options closely. You are liable for any 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 the insurance in place.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For specific details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses in Macclesfield
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is strictly prohibited. This includes participation in racing, rallying, off-roading, or any dangerous driving situations. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle must not be used for purposes it was not intended for, and it is important to adhere to passenger and weight limits.

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