Yeovil Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals in Yeovil are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or upon vehicle collection. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance provisions, 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 Yeovil
- To rent a vehicle from our Yeovil location, drivers must be at least 21 years old. Note that age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type, with added fees for those under 25. A valid driving licence for the relevant vehicle category is required, which must have been held for the minimum duration stated in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, please provide valid identification, proof of current address, and payment information, including a security deposit. Any other requirements will be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments in Yeovil
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or in person at our Yeovil branch. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment providers.
4. Car Collection and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is imperative to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and must be signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was received, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage identified will be evaluated and charges applied as necessary. The vehicle should also be returned with the same fuel level as when collected; refueling fees will be imposed if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur additional charges, so please inform us promptly if you foresee any delays. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with a related administration fee.
5. Liability and Coverage
- All car rentals in Yeovil include basic third-party insurance. Full details regarding coverage and excess amounts are outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to further limit your financial liability. It is wise to review these options closely. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless you have opted for additional coverage. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance status.
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.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Prohibited activities include any illegal use of the vehicle, such as racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials is strictly forbidden. Sub-letting to unauthorized drivers is not allowed, nor is driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Vehicles must not be used for purposes they are not intended for, and passenger or weight limits must not be exceeded. Driving outside the specified geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Violation of these terms may lead to rental termination and fees.
