Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Macclesfield 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, fees, and your obligations related to 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 in Macclesfield requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Macclesfield, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. A valid full driving licence for the relevant category, held for the minimum duration stated in the Rental Agreement, is required. You will also need to present valid identification and proof of your current address, along with valid payment details and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or in person at our Macclesfield office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and a security deposit are generally due upon collecting your vehicle. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept all major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection and report any existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed to document the state of the car. It is expected that the vehicle will be returned in the same condition as received, allowing for reasonable wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated, and applicable charges will be applied. The vehicle should be returned with the same fuel level as it was collected; refueling charges will be imposed if it is returned with less fuel. Please be aware that late returns may incur additional fees. If you anticipate returning the vehicle late, contact us as soon as possible. You will be responsible for any parking tickets, traffic offenses, or charges incurred during the rental period, in addition to an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Guidelines
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. Details about coverage and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for damage or loss up to the excess amount unless additional coverage is purchased. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse is your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
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 could incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rented Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities or purposes. This includes racing, rallying, off-road driving, or any other dangerous use. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not permitted. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, the vehicle should not be used beyond its intended design, exceed passenger or weight limits, or be driven outside the designated geographical area without prior consent.
Breaching these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
