Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or upon vehicle collection. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your responsibilities for the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
2. Eligibility Criteria
Rental Requirements Overview
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Maghull, 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 license suitable for the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of current address. Additionally, valid payment information and a security deposit must be provided, along with any other requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Maghull office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment along with a security deposit is generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All pricing is in British Pounds (£) and includes VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through established payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection, please conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by you. It is important to return the vehicle in the same state as when it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged appropriately. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; otherwise, refueling charges will be applied. If you foresee a late return, please contact us as soon as possible, as late returns may incur additional fees. You will also be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges accrued during the rental period, plus an administrative fee.
Insurance and Responsibility
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. For those seeking to limit liability, additional insurance options may be available. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be accountable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional coverage is obtained. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance status.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period 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.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited uses of rental vehicle:
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is strictly prohibited. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other risky maneuvers is not allowed. Transporting hazardous materials or substances is forbidden. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized individuals to drive it is not permitted. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle must only be used for its intended purposes and within the specified passenger and weight limits.

Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
