Welcome to Car Hire Belfast. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Belfast are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines the terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your obligations related to the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Belfast:
- To hire a vehicle in Belfast, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid, full driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, held for the minimum duration stated in the Rental Agreement. You will also need to present valid identification and proof of your current address, along with payment details and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Belfast office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment and security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through trusted payment networks.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Belfast, please conduct a thorough inspection and report any existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed to document the state of the vehicle. Upon returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as when picked up; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may attract extra fees, so please inform us promptly if you expect to return the vehicle late. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges that arise during your rental, along with an applicable administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Coverage
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. Details regarding coverage and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to limit your financial exposure. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you opt for supplementary insurance. Responsibility for damages resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms rests with you, irrespective of insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the booking type and the notice period provided. Please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement for precise details. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses:
- Usage of the vehicle for any unlawful activities is prohibited. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or other potentially risky actions is not allowed. Transporting hazardous materials is strictly forbidden. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is not permitted. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle must be used within its intended purpose and must not exceed passenger or weight limits. Traveling outside the designated geographical area without prior consent is also prohibited.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
Limitation of Responsibility
To the fullest extent allowed under Northern Irish law, Car Hire will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, that may arise from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims is limited to the amount you paid for the rental in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
9. Local Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by Northern Irish law. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of Belfast courts.
10. Updates to Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
