Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Falmouth are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your obligations for the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Vehicle Rental Requirements in Falmouth
- To hire a vehicle in Falmouth, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type, with potential extra charges for those under 25. A valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, held for the minimum duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, valid identification and proof of current address must be provided, along with payment information and a security deposit. Any further requirements specified in the Rental Agreement must also be met.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be completed via our website, by phone, or directly at our Falmouth office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and any security deposit are typically expected at the time you collect your vehicle. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle in Falmouth, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared for your review and signature. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as received, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged appropriately. Ensure the fuel level matches what it was at the start of your rental; fees will apply if the vehicle is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur extra charges, so please inform us as soon as possible if you expect to return the vehicle late. You will be accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with a nominal administration fee.
Insurance and Liability
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. The specifics of coverage and excess amounts are outlined in your Rental Agreement. Optional insurance may be available to minimize your financial liability. Review these options thoroughly. You are responsible for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless additional insurance is purchased. Negligence or misuse will hold you liable regardless of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and modification policies differ based on your booking type and the notice period provided. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show may incur charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is strictly prohibited. Engaging in racing, rallying, or off-roading is not allowed. Transporting hazardous materials, sub-letting the vehicle, or allowing unauthorized drivers is forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. Adhere to weight and passenger limits, and do not exceed agreed geographical boundaries without prior consent.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
