Welcome to Car Hire Aldershot. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website carhirealdershot.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Aldershot come with a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines crucial terms, conditions, insurance specifics, charges, and your responsibilities for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Aldershot requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Aldershot, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. A valid full driving licence that corresponds to the vehicle category is required, along with valid identification and proof of your current address. You will also need to provide payment information and a security deposit, as well as meet any additional criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations for car hire in Aldershot can be completed via our website, over the phone, or by visiting our local office. A deposit may be needed to confirm your booking. The total payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where necessary. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Aldershot, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by both parties. Upon returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when collected, accounting for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged appropriately. The vehicle should also be returned with the same fuel level; a refueling fee will apply if it is not. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please notify us as soon as possible if you expect to return the vehicle late. You will be accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or related charges incurred during your rental period, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Coverage
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance, with full coverage details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to further reduce your financial exposure. It is wise to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional coverage applies. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse will be your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of the Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities, including racing or off-road driving. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Unauthorized sub-letting or allowing unapproved drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, the vehicle should not be used for purposes it was not designed for, nor should passenger or weight limits be exceeded. Operating the vehicle outside of the specified geographical limits requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Aldershot 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. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the amount paid for your rental in the past 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Applicable Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be resolved exclusively in English and Welsh courts.

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon being posted on our website. Continued use of our services indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.
