Welcome to Leek Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website, carhireleek.co.uk, and our vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals with Leek are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, charges, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Vehicle Rental Requirements
- To rent a vehicle from Leek, drivers must be at least 21 years old, with age restrictions differing based on the vehicle type. Those under 25 may incur additional fees. A valid driving license suited to the vehicle category is required, along with valid identification and proof of current address. Payment information and a security deposit must be provided, in addition to any other criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Dartford office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure transactions handled by trusted payment processors.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by both parties. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, allowing for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level it had at the start of your rental; refueling charges will apply if the level is lower. If you anticipate returning the vehicle late, please contact us as soon as possible, as late returns may incur extra fees. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or related charges that occur during your rental period, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to lower your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless you opt for extra coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance status.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. Please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement for precise information. Late cancellations or failure to show may incur charges, which will be outlined in your agreement.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities. Activities such as racing, rallying, or off-roading are prohibited. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is strictly forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle should only be used for its intended purposes and within the specified passenger and weight limits. Traveling outside the agreed geographical area requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Leek Car Hire will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business related to your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims is limited to the amount you paid for the rental in the past year. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
Applicable Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the jurisdiction of the relevant courts in this region.
