Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement that you receive upon booking confirmation or when you collect the vehicle. This agreement outlines critical terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your responsibilities for that rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Vehicle Rental Requirements
- To rent a vehicle from Barry, you must be a minimum of 21 years old, though age limits may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for drivers under 25. You must possess a valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category, held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, you will need to present valid identification and proof of your current address, along with valid payment information and a security deposit. Any further stipulations will be detailed in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Dartford office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where relevant. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment processors.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is important 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. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level it had at pickup; refueling fees will apply if the tank is less than full. If you anticipate returning the vehicle late, contact us as soon as possible, as late returns may incur extra charges. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that arise during your rental period, in addition to an administration fee.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. You'll find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help limit your financial liability. It’s important to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless you opt for extra coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will be your responsibility, regardless of the insurance in place.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and how much notice is provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of the Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, rallying, off-road driving, or any other dangerous endeavors. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting or allowing unauthorized individuals to drive the vehicle is not permitted. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should only be used for its intended purposes and within established passenger and weight limits. Operating the vehicle outside of the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Disclaimer
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Barry Car Hire will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business that may arise from your use of our services. Our overall liability for any claims is limited to the total amount you paid for the rental in the past 12 months. This limitation does not affect our liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
Legal Jurisdiction
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in that region.
Updates to Terms
Barry reserves 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.
