Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Melton Mowbray are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle requires:
- To rent a vehicle through Car Hire in Melton Mowbray, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. A valid driving licence is required, along with identification and proof of current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit are necessary, as well as any additional requirements noted in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments
- Reservations can be arranged via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Melton Mowbray location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required upon vehicle pickup. 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 systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Melton Mowbray, a thorough inspection is required to identify any pre-existing damage. Any issues must be reported immediately, and a vehicle condition report will be completed and signed. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, barring normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. The vehicle should be returned with the same fuel level as at the start of the rental; otherwise, refueling fees will apply. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please inform us ahead of time if a delay is expected. You will be accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or related charges during the rental, along with an applicable administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All car rentals in Melton Mowbray come with basic third-party insurance included. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to limit your financial exposure. It is wise to examine these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless further coverage is obtained. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will be your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the advance notice provided. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.
