St Helens Car Hire Terms

Welcome to Car Hire in St Helens. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to comply with these terms.

Rental Terms

All vehicle rentals in St Helens are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle pickup. This document outlines important terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your obligations during the rental period. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.

Eligibility Criteria

Renting a vehicle in St Helens requires:

• To hire a vehicle in St Helens, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence is required, held for the duration stated in the Rental Agreement. You will need to present valid identification and a proof of current address. Additionally, valid payment details and a security deposit are necessary. Please fulfill any extra conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.

Booking and Payments in St Helens

• Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our St Helens office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and a security deposit are generally due upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where relevant. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through trusted payment partners.

Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off

• At the time of collection in St Helens, it is important to inspect your vehicle thoroughly and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed by both parties. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated, and charges may be applied accordingly. The vehicle should also be returned with the same fuel level; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns could incur extra charges, so please reach out to us if you expect to return the vehicle late. You are liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that occur during your rental period, plus an administration fee.

Insurance and Liability in St Helens

• All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount, unless additional coverage is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.

6. Modifications and Cancellations

Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.

Prohibited Activities

Prohibited vehicle uses:

• The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities, including racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials is strictly prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is forbidden. Ensure that the vehicle is used only for its intended purpose and within specified passenger and weight limits. Driving beyond the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior approval.

Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.

8. Liability Restrictions

To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire St Helens is not responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our liability for any claims will not exceed the total amount paid for your rental in the past year. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.

9. Local Legal Framework

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be handled exclusively by the courts in this jurisdiction.

10. Updates to Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Continued use of our services indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.
