Welcome to Ramsgate 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.
Ramsgate Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement that you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or when collecting the vehicle. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your obligations for the rental period. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the latter will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Ramsgate
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Ramsgate, you must be at least 21 years old. Age limits may vary depending on the vehicle type, and drivers under 25 may incur additional fees. A valid full driving license appropriate for the vehicle category and identification that confirms your current address are required. Additionally, valid payment details and a security deposit must be provided, along with any other conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Ramsgate office. A booking 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 applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and must be signed. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as it was at pickup, accounting for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. The vehicle needs to be returned with the fuel level at the same mark as when it was collected; refueling charges will apply if the level is lower. Late returns could incur extra fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you expect to return the vehicle late. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, alongside an administration fee.
5. Liability and Coverage
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Details regarding coverage and excess amounts are outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help minimize your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be held accountable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless covered by supplementary insurance. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse is your responsibility, regardless of your insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies are determined by the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses in Ramsgate
- The vehicle must not be used for illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any hazardous driving behaviors. Transporting dangerous materials is prohibited, as is sub-letting or permitting unauthorized drivers. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, the vehicle should not be used beyond its intended capacity or geographic limits without prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Ramsgate is not 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 is limited to the amount paid for the rental in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraudulent actions.
9. Local Regulations
