Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Workington are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle collection. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In cases of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Rental Vehicle Requirements
- To hire a vehicle in Workington, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type, with potential extra charges for drivers under 25. You are required to possess a valid full driving licence for the relevant vehicle category, held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, valid identification and proof of your current address are necessary. You must also provide valid payment details and a security deposit, along with meeting any further stipulations noted in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Workington office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Workington, you are required to conduct a thorough inspection and immediately report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed to document this. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Please ensure the vehicle is returned with the same level of fuel as when you collected it; refueling charges will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may incur additional fees, so contact us as soon as possible if you anticipate being late. You are accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges accrued during your rental period, in addition to an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Policies
- All rentals in Workington come with basic third-party insurance included. The Rental Agreement outlines full coverage details and any applicable excess amounts. Additional insurance options may be offered to limit your financial liability. It is advisable to assess these options carefully. You will be accountable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, except where additional coverage applies. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on your booking type and the notice provided. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Please be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or other dangerous driving practices. Transporting hazardous materials is strictly prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized individuals to drive is not allowed. 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. Additionally, driving beyond the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
