Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals 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 specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In case 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 from Car Hire in Nottingham, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions can vary based on the type of vehicle. Drivers under 25 may incur additional charges. A valid, full driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of address. Valid payment details and a security deposit are necessary. Additional criteria may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be arranged via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Nottingham office. A booking deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. The complete payment and security deposit are generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
4. Collecting and Returning Vehicles
- At the time of collection in Nottingham, it is important to 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 both parties. Please ensure that the vehicle is returned in the same condition as it was collected, accounting only for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may result in additional charges. Return the vehicle with the same fuel level as at collection; otherwise, refueling fees will apply. Late returns could incur extra charges, so please notify us promptly if you foresee a delay. You are liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental, along with an associated administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. The Rental Agreement outlines comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to lower your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless additional insurance is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For specific details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur charges that will be applied accordingly.

Sub-letting to unauthorized individuals or allowing unapproved drivers is not permitted. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden.
