Walton-on-Thames Car Hire Terms

Car Hire Agreement

All vehicle rentals in Walton-on-Thames come with a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or when collecting your vehicle. This agreement outlines the terms, conditions, insurance specifics, fees, and your obligations for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.

Eligibility Criteria in Walton-on-Thames

Renting a vehicle in Walton-on-Thames requires:

• To hire a vehicle in Walton-on-Thames, you must be at least 21 years of age, although age limits may vary depending on the vehicle type, with extra fees for drivers under 25. A full and valid driving licence is required, held for the minimum duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of your current address must be presented, along with payment details and a security deposit. Additional criteria may be specified in the Rental Agreement.

3. Reservations and Payments

• Reservations can be arranged via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Walton-on-Thames office. A deposit may be needed to confirm your booking. The full payment and security deposit are generally required upon collecting the vehicle. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept all major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.

Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off

• At the time of collection, you are required to inspect the vehicle thoroughly and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and must be signed by both parties. It is your responsibility to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. Please return the vehicle with the same level of fuel as when you picked it up; refueling charges will apply if the level is lower. Late returns may result in additional fees, so notify us promptly if you expect to be delayed. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administrative fee.

Insurance and Liability in Walton-on-Thames

Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial liability. It is wise to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless you have opted for extra coverage. Any damage arising from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will be your responsibility, regardless of insurance status.

Cancellation and Modifications

Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.

7. Restricted Activities
