Welcome to Car Hire Carrickfergus. These Terms of Service outline the guidelines for using our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All car rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Rental Requirements in Carrickfergus
- To hire a vehicle in Carrickfergus, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. A valid full driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category and held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement, is required. Please present valid identification and proof of your current address, along with payment details and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be completed via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Carrickfergus office. A deposit may be needed to confirm your booking, with the remaining balance and security deposit payable upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£), inclusive of VAT where relevant. We accept major credit and debit cards through secure payment systems.
4. Car Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection in Carrickfergus, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed to document the initial state. Please ensure that the vehicle is returned in the same condition as it was collected, accounting only for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. The vehicle should be returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in additional charges, so please inform us as soon as possible if you expect to be late. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or additional charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. You will find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Optional insurance packages may be available to lower your financial responsibility. It is beneficial to assess these options thoroughly. You remain accountable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless additional insurance is obtained. Damage resulting from negligence, improper use, or violations of these Terms falls under your responsibility, regardless of insurance policies.
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 failure to show up may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Uses of Your Vehicle
- Use of the vehicle for any unlawful activities is prohibited. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or similar risky behaviors is not allowed. Transporting dangerous materials is strictly forbidden. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is prohibited. Operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is illegal. The vehicle must be used only for its intended purpose, adhering to passenger and weight limits. Driving outside the specified geographical boundaries without prior authorization is not permitted.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
