Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle collection. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, and your responsibilities for the rental period. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Vehicle Rental Requirements
- To hire a vehicle in Blackheath, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though some vehicle types may have different age requirements. A valid full driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is necessary, along with valid identification and proof of current address. Payment information and a security deposit are required, as well as any additional criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made through our website, by phone, or in person at our Blackheath office. A deposit may be required to confirm your booking, with the remaining balance and security deposit typically payable upon vehicle collection. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be finalized and signed by both parties. Upon return, the vehicle should be in the same condition as when it was collected, factoring in normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as received; refueling charges will apply for vehicles returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur additional fees, so notify us immediately if a delay is anticipated. You will be responsible for any parking tickets, traffic violations, or other charges that arise during the rental period, plus an applicable administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in Blackheath
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. Details regarding coverage and any excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to minimize your financial exposure. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless you opt for extra insurance. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, irrespective of your insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For specific information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges. Always check these details to avoid unexpected fees.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses in Blackheath
- Prohibited activities include any illegal use of the vehicle, such as racing, rallying, or off-roading. The vehicle must not be used for transporting hazardous materials or for sub-letting. Only authorized drivers should operate the vehicle, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Compliance with passenger and weight limits is mandatory, as is adherence to agreed geographical boundaries.
Non-compliance with these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
Limitation of Liability in Blackheath
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Blackheath is not responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services.

9. Local Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the jurisdiction of the English and Welsh courts.
