Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in New Milton are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance provisions, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In any case of conflict between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Vehicle Rental Requirements
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in New Milton, drivers must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, with potential extra fees for those under 25. A valid driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of address. Payment information and a security deposit must also be provided, and any additional conditions specified in the Rental Agreement should be met.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our New Milton location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining payment and a security deposit are typically required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, a thorough inspection is required to identify any pre-existing damage, which must be reported immediately. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed to document the state of the car. It is expected that the vehicle be returned in the same condition as when it was collected, subject to normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be assessed, and charges will apply accordingly. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as received; refueling fees will be incurred for lower levels. Late returns may result in additional charges, so prompt communication is necessary if delays are anticipated. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental, along with a small administration fee.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- Basic third-party insurance is included with all car rentals in New Milton. Full details regarding coverage and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to help minimize your financial liability. Review these options carefully, as you are responsible for damage or loss up to the excess amount unless additional coverage is purchased. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on your booking type and the notice period you provide. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses in New Milton
- Prohibited activities include using the vehicle for illegal purposes or engaging in racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. The vehicle must not be sub-let or driven by unauthorized individuals. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, operate the vehicle within the established weight and passenger limits, and remain within the designated geographical boundaries without prior authorization.
Breach of terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations in New Milton
To the fullest extent permitted by English and Welsh law, Car Hire New Milton will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, nor for the loss of profits, data, or business resulting from your use of our services. Our liability for any claim will not exceed the total amount paid for the rental in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to cases of death or personal injury caused by negligence or fraud.
9. Local Legal Framework
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be exclusively handled by the courts of England and Wales.
10. Terms Modifications
We reserve the right to amend these Terms at any time. Updates take effect immediately upon being posted on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
