Welcome to Chelsea Car Hire Services. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By using our services, you agree to comply with these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Chelsea are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or when collecting your vehicle. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In any case of discrepancy between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the latter will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Vehicle Rental Requirements
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Chelsea, you must be at least 21 years old, although specific age restrictions may apply depending on the vehicle type. A valid driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category, must be held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, you need to present valid identification and proof of address, along with payment details and a security deposit. Any extra requirements will be detailed in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments Information
- Reservations for car hire in Chelsea can be made via our website, by phone, or in person at our Dartford office. A deposit may be required to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are typically due upon vehicle collection. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£), inclusive of VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through established payment providers.
4. Collection and Return Process
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed by both parties. You are expected to return the vehicle in the same state as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged appropriately. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as at pickup; otherwise, refueling charges will apply. Late returns can incur additional fees, so notify us immediately if you anticipate delays. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Policies
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance, with comprehensive coverage details available in your Rental Agreement. You may opt for additional insurance options to further limit your financial liability. It is advisable to carefully review these options. You will be liable for damages or losses up to the insurance excess amount, unless additional coverage is in place. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges, impacting your rental experience.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Prohibited activities include using the vehicle for illegal purposes or engaging in racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials, sub-letting to others, or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, exceeding passenger or weight limits, or driving outside designated geographical areas without authorization, is prohibited.
Breach of these terms may lead to immediate rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Chelsea disclaims any liability for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including lost profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our maximum liability for any claims will not exceed the total amount paid for your rental in the last 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Legal Framework
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Any legal 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 their publication on our website. Your ongoing use of our services indicates your agreement to the revised Terms.
