Welcome to Newport Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website carhirenewport.co.uk and our vehicle rental services. By utilizing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Newport are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, and any applicable charges, along with your responsibilities for the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Newport
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire Newport, you must be at least 21 years of age, although age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, and there may be extra charges for drivers under 25. You need to possess a valid full driving license that meets the category requirements, held for the duration specified in your Rental Agreement. Identification and proof of current address are required, along with valid payment details and a security deposit. Additional criteria may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments in Newport
- Reservations can be made conveniently through our website, via phone, or directly at our Newport location. To secure your booking, a deposit may be necessary. The remaining balance and a security deposit are usually required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept all major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure processing through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle, a thorough inspection is required to identify any pre-existing damage, which must be reported immediately. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed by both parties. To avoid additional charges, return the vehicle in the same condition as received, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged appropriately. It is important to return the vehicle with the same level of fuel as when collected; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may incur extra charges, so please inform us as soon as possible if you expect to return the vehicle late. You are accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Responsibility
- Basic third-party insurance is included with all vehicle rentals from Car Hire in Newport. Details regarding coverage and excess amounts are outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help limit your financial exposure. It is prudent to review these options. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, except when covered by additional insurance. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
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, affecting your overall rental experience.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities, including racing, off-roading, or other risky behaviors. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Adhere to the vehicle's intended use, passenger limits, and weight restrictions. Driving outside the agreed geographical area requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Newport accepts no responsibility for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business associated with your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the rental fee paid in the prior 12 months. This limitation does not apply to claims related to negligence resulting in death or personal injury, or to instances of fraud.
