Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in King's Lynn are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or when collecting your vehicle. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance provisions, associated charges, and your responsibilities during the rental period. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle requires:
- To hire a vehicle in King's Lynn, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, and additional fees may apply for those under 25. A valid full driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category, must be held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of current address are required, along with payment information and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be completed via our website, by phone, or at our King's Lynn office. A booking deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. Full payment and a security deposit are generally 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.
4. Picking Up and Dropping Off
- At the time of collection, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be filled out and signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as when it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as received; refueling fees will be applied if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur additional charges, so it is advisable to contact us if you foresee a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges that arise during your rental period, along with a nominal administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All car rentals in King's Lynn come with basic third-party insurance included. The Rental Agreement outlines full coverage details and outlines the excess amounts. Additional insurance options may be available to lower your financial liability. Review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess unless you opt for additional coverage. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the booking type and the notice given. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up could incur charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited uses of rental vehicle:
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities. This includes racing, off-roading, or engaging in any dangerous maneuvers. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should only be used for its intended purposes and within the specified passenger and weight limits. Any travel outside the agreed geographical area requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
