Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Lytham St Annes are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive during booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines the 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 prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle requires:
- To rent a vehicle in Lytham St Annes, you must be at least 21 years of age, though specific vehicle categories may have different age requirements, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence, appropriate for the selected vehicle, is necessary, along with proof of identity and current address. Valid payment details and a security deposit will also be required. Additional criteria may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments
- Reservations can be completed via our website, over the phone, or at our Lytham St Annes office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be created and must be signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as received, accounting for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and billed accordingly. Please ensure the fuel level matches what was provided at collection, as refueling charges will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please contact us as soon as possible if you expect to be late. You will be held responsible for any parking fines, traffic offenses, or related charges incurred during your rental, along with an administration fee.
5. Insurance and Responsibility
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. Detailed information about coverage and excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. Options for additional insurance are available to lower your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you opt for extra coverage. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
6. Cancellations and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur additional charges.
