Welcome to Andover Car Hire Services. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Andover Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Andover are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking or vehicle pickup. This document outlines essential terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Vehicle Rental Requirements
- To hire a vehicle with Car Hire in Andover, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary by vehicle type, with potential extra fees for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence, applicable to the vehicle category, must be held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. Identification and proof of your current address are required, along with valid payment details and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be outlined in your Rental Agreement.
3. Reservation and Payment
- Reservations for car hire can be made via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Andover branch. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All charges are displayed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, a thorough inspection is required to identify and report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be documented and signed by you. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was received, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. Please return the vehicle with the fuel level at the same mark as when collected; refueling fees will apply if the level is reduced. Late returns may result in additional charges, so please inform us promptly if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental period, in addition to an administrative fee.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- All rentals in Andover include basic third-party insurance coverage. Details regarding full coverage and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help mitigate your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless further insurance is obtained. Please note that damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For specific information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses in Andover
- Use of the vehicle for any unlawful activities is strictly prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other dangerous pursuits. Transporting hazardous materials, sub-letting the vehicle, or allowing unauthorized drivers is not permitted. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and operating outside agreed geographical boundaries without proper consent are also forbidden.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
Liability Restrictions in Andover
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Andover will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will be limited to the amount paid for the rental over the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
9. Local Legal Framework
