Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Lytham St Annes are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your responsibilities for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Requirements for Vehicle Rental
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Lytham St Annes, you must be at least 21 years old. Age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. You will also need to provide valid payment information and a security deposit, as well as meet any additional requirements listed in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Lytham St Annes office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment and security deposit are generally required at the time of vehicle pick-up. All prices are in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pick-Up and Drop-Off
- At the time of collection in Lytham St Annes, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage immediately. A vehicle condition report will be generated and signed to document its state at the start of your rental. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, accounting only for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure that the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection, as refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in additional charges; if you anticipate a delay, please get in touch with us right away. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or related charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. You will find full coverage details and excess amounts in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help lower your financial liability. We encourage you to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless additional insurance is purchased. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Restricted Vehicle Use:
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in any hazardous activities. Transporting dangerous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should only be used for its intended purposes and must adhere to passenger and weight limits. Additionally, driving outside of the specified geographical area requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
