Welcome to Car Hire Blackheath. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Agreement for Blackheath
All car rentals in Blackheath are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines essential terms, conditions, insurance provisions, and your responsibilities during the rental period. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the latter will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Blackheath
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Blackheath, you must be at least 21 years old, though age requirements may vary based on vehicle type. Drivers under 25 might incur additional charges. A valid driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is necessary, along with proof of identity and current address. You will also need to provide valid payment details and a security deposit, as well as meet any specific conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Bookings for our car hire services can be completed via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Blackheath location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation, with the remaining balance and security deposit typically payable upon vehicle collection. All charges are listed in British Pounds (£) and include applicable VAT. We accept all major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment processors.
4. Vehicle Collection & Return
- At the time of vehicle collection, a thorough inspection is required to identify any pre-existing damage. Please report any issues immediately so they can be noted in a vehicle condition report, which both parties will sign. The vehicle must be returned in the same condition as when it was collected, allowing for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same level of fuel as at collection, as refueling fees will apply for lower levels. Late returns may incur additional fees, so please communicate with us promptly if you expect to return the vehicle later than agreed. You will be responsible for any parking tickets, traffic violations, and related charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance coverage. Specific coverage details and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to minimize your financial responsibility. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for damages or loss up to the excess amount unless additional insurance is purchased. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For precise details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges, which can affect your overall rental experience in Blackheath.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of the Vehicle
- Engaging in any illegal activities with the vehicle is strictly prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or similar dangerous pursuits. Transporting hazardous materials, sub-letting to unauthorized individuals, or allowing unapproved drivers is not allowed. Operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and driving outside designated geographical areas without permission are also violations of our terms.
Breach of terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.

Our total liability for any claims is limited to the rental amount paid in the past 12 months. This limitation does not apply to claims for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Applicable Law in Blackheath
