Welcome to Littlehampton Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Agreement in Littlehampton
All vehicle rentals come with a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided upon booking confirmation or vehicle pickup in Littlehampton. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Littlehampton
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Littlehampton, you must be at least 21 years old. Age restrictions may vary based on the vehicle type, with additional fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category, is required, along with valid identification and proof of your current address. Ensure you provide valid payment details and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Littlehampton office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required upon vehicle pickup. All charges are in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards processed securely through trusted payment gateways.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed for your records. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, allowing for reasonable wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charges will apply as necessary. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as at pickup; otherwise, refueling charges will be incurred. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please contact us if you anticipate returning later than scheduled. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or additional charges that occur during the rental period, as well as a small administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in Littlehampton
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every car rental in Littlehampton. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts will be outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help minimize your financial responsibility. Review these options thoroughly. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you have opted for extra coverage. Damages resulting from negligence or misuse remain your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
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 failure to show up may incur additional charges.
