Welcome to Barry Car Hire. These Terms of Service outline the rules for using our website carhiredartford.co.uk and our vehicle rental services. By accessing 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 agreement outlines the terms, conditions, insurance provisions, fees, and your responsibilities for each rental. In cases of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Rental Requirements Overview
- To hire a vehicle from Barry, you must be a minimum of 21 years old; age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, and additional fees may apply for drivers under 25. You need a valid driving licence appropriate for the selected vehicle, maintained for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of your current address are required, along with payment information and a security deposit. Any further criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement must also be met.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be completed via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Dartford 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, with secure processing through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, you are required to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed by both parties. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was received, accounting only for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and associated charges applied. The vehicle should be returned with the same fuel level as noted at collection; failure to do so will result in refueling charges. If you anticipate returning the vehicle late, please contact us without delay, as additional fees may apply. You will be responsible for any parking tickets, traffic violations, or charges accrued during your rental period, in addition to an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. For comprehensive coverage information and excess amounts, please refer to your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial liability. It's advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be accountable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless further coverage applies. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violations of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of any insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For detailed information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows can incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited uses of the vehicle:
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is strictly prohibited. This includes participating in racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other dangerous activities. Transporting hazardous materials, sub-letting the vehicle, or allowing unauthorized drivers is not permitted. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle must not be used for purposes it was not designed for, nor should the specified passenger or weight limits be exceeded. Driving outside of the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Barry Car Hire will not be 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 will not surpass the amount paid for your rental in the past 12 months. This limitation does not affect our liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or for fraudulent activities.
Barry's Legal Framework
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be resolved exclusively in their courts.
10. Term Updates
Barry reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Continued use of our services signifies your acceptance of the revised Terms.
