Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Leamington Spa require adherence to a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which will be provided at the time of booking confirmation or upon vehicle collection. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your obligations regarding the rental. In cases of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle requires:
- To rent a vehicle in Leamington Spa, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for those under 25. A valid full driving licence for the appropriate vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of address. Payment information and a security deposit must also be provided, along with any other conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or in person at our Leamington Spa office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and a security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pick-up. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Leamington Spa, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and immediately report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and must be signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for 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 at collection; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please contact us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. The specifics regarding coverage and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to lower your financial liability. It's important to review these options closely. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you opt for additional insurance. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, irrespective of your insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies depend 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.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited uses of the rental vehicle:
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities, including racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials is strictly prohibited. Sub-letting to unauthorized parties or permitting unapproved drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is forbidden, as is using the vehicle for purposes it was not intended for.

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