Car Hire Terms of Service

Welcome to Car Hire Larne. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website, carhirelarne.co.uk, and our vehicle rental offerings. By using our services, you agree to these terms.

Rental Terms

All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or when you collect your vehicle. This document outlines the terms and conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your responsibilities regarding the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will be considered the authoritative document.

Eligibility Criteria

Rental Vehicle Requirements

  • To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Larne, drivers must be a minimum of 21 years old, with specific age restrictions depending on the vehicle type. A valid, full driving licence appropriate for the chosen vehicle is required, held for the 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 will be detailed in the Rental Agreement.

Booking and Payment Details

  • Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Larne 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 incorporate VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.

Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off

  • Upon collecting your vehicle in Larne, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed by both parties to document the state of the vehicle at the time of collection. You are required to return the vehicle in the same condition as received, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charges may apply accordingly. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as when it was collected; refueling fees will be imposed if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may incur additional fees, so please notify us as soon as possible if you expect to be late. 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 Terms

  • All rentals come with basic third-party insurance coverage. You can find comprehensive details about this coverage and any applicable excess amounts in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to help lower your financial responsibility. It is important to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless you opt for additional coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violations of these Terms will be your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.

Cancellation and Modifications

Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice given. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional fees.

7. Restricted Activities

Prohibited uses of rental vehicle:

  • The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities or purposes. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or other dangerous maneuvers. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting to others or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should only be used as intended, adhering to passenger and weight limits. Operating outside of the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.

Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.

8. Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire in Larne will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, related to your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will be 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 resulting from negligence or fraud.

9. Local Legal Framework

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in these regions.

10. Updates to Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately once posted on our website. Continued use of our services indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.
