Welcome to Kingswood Car Hire Services. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By using our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals with Kingswood are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at vehicle pickup. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take priority.
Eligibility Criteria
Vehicle Rental Requirements
- To rent a vehicle from Kingswood Car Hire, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary based on the vehicle type. Drivers under 25 may incur additional charges. A valid full driving license suitable for the vehicle category, along with identification and proof of current address, is required. Valid payment details and a security deposit must also be provided. Additional requirements may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations at Kingswood can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Dartford office. A deposit may be required to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally payable upon vehicle pickup. All charges are in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept all major credit and debit cards, processed securely through established payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and signed by both parties. The vehicle must be returned in the same condition as it was received, with allowances made for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Please return the vehicle with the same level of fuel as at pickup; refueling fees will apply if the level is lower. Late returns may result in extra charges, so notify us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Details
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every vehicle rental from Kingswood Car Hire. Detailed coverage information and any applicable excess amounts are outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to minimize your financial liability. You will be responsible for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you opt for extra insurance. Any damage resulting from negligence or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on your booking type and the notice period provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur additional charges. Always check the terms to avoid unexpected fees.
7. Forbidden Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Usage of the vehicle is strictly limited to lawful activities. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or other dangerous pursuits is prohibited. Transporting hazardous materials or subletting the vehicle to unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger limits, or operating outside designated geographical boundaries without permission is also forbidden.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Kingswood Car Hire will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claim will not exceed the amount paid for the rental in the previous 12 months.
