Rental Terms
All car rentals in Portadown are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle pickup. This document outlines essential terms, conditions, insurance information, charges, and your obligations regarding the rental. Should any discrepancies arise between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take priority.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle with Car Hire:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Portadown, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the chosen vehicle type. A valid full driving license is required, held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. Renters must also present valid identification, proof of address, and payment information, including a security deposit. Additional criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement must be met.
Booking and Payments in Portadown
- Reservations for vehicle hire can be made on our website, via telephone, or in person at our Portadown office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
Portadown Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Portadown, you are required to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and both parties must sign it. Please return the vehicle in the same state as it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charges will be applied as necessary. The vehicle must be returned with the same fuel level as at the start of the rental; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may lead to additional costs, so it is important to inform us promptly if you expect to return the vehicle late. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental period, along with an associated administration fee.
5. Liability and Coverage
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every vehicle rental. Details regarding coverage and excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. Options for additional insurance may be available to help limit your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless you have opted for extra insurance. You remain responsible for damage resulting from negligence or misuse, regardless of any insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities, including racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should not be used for purposes it was not designed for, and exceeding passenger or weight limits is unacceptable. Driving outside the specified geographical boundaries without prior authorization is also prohibited.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Portadown will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, related to your use of our services. Our overall liability for any claims is limited to the total amount you paid for your rental in the past 12 months.
