Welcome to Bexleyheath Car Hire. These Terms of Service outline your rights and responsibilities when using our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Bexleyheath are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle pickup. This document outlines important terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your obligations related to the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Bexleyheath requires:
- To hire a vehicle in Bexleyheath, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the type of vehicle, with potential extra charges for drivers under 25. You are required to possess a valid full driving licence suitable for the vehicle class, held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, valid identification and proof of your current address must be provided. Ensure you have valid payment details and a security deposit ready, along with fulfilling any other requirements detailed in the Rental Agreement.

Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required upon vehicle collection. All prices are displayed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely by trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle from Car Hire in Bexleyheath, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and must be signed to confirm the state of the vehicle. Please return the car in the same condition as it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be assessed and charged accordingly. Ensure that the fuel level matches that at the time of collection, as refueling charges will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur extra fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate returning the vehicle late. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental period, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All car rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. For comprehensive details regarding coverage and excess amounts, please refer to your Rental Agreement. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to minimize your financial responsibility. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless additional insurance is acquired. Damage resulting from negligence, improper use, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance provisions.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
