Fareham Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals in Fareham are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or when you collect your vehicle. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, charges, and your obligations for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the latter will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Fareham
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Fareham, drivers must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for those under 25. A valid driving license for the selected vehicle category is required, along with valid identification and proof of current address. Additionally, drivers must provide payment details and a security deposit and satisfy any other criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Bookings can be made through our website, over the phone, or in person at our Fareham location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where appropriate. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle from us, it is crucial to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and must be signed by you. When returning the vehicle, please ensure it is in the same condition as when collected, with allowances made for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and billed accordingly. The vehicle should also be returned with the same fuel level as at pickup; otherwise, refueling charges will apply. Late returns could incur additional fees, so please contact us immediately if you expect to be delayed. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, in addition to an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in Fareham
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every rental in Fareham. For comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts, please refer to the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options can help minimize your financial liability, and we advise reviewing these thoroughly. You remain accountable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, except when further coverage is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based 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.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses in Fareham
- Use of the vehicle for any unlawful activity is prohibited. This includes racing, off-roading, or any dangerous driving practices. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting to others or permitting unauthorized drivers is against policy. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger limits, or operating outside designated areas without consent is strictly forbidden.
Violation of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Fareham will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, that may arise from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will be limited to the rental amount you paid in the past 12 months. This limitation does not affect our liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
9. Local Legal Framework
