Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Weston-super-Mare are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, 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 Weston-super-Mare requires:
- To hire a vehicle in Weston-super-Mare, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for those under 25. A valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is necessary, held for the minimum duration outlined 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 specified in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be arranged via our website, by phone, or directly at our Weston-super-Mare office. A deposit might be necessary to confirm your booking. The complete payment and a security deposit are usually 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. Car Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Weston-super-Mare, a thorough inspection is required to identify any pre-existing damage, which must be reported without delay. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed to document the current state of the car. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was picked up, taking into account standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and additional charges may apply. The vehicle must also be returned with the same fuel level as collected; refueling fees will be charged for any discrepancies. Late returns could result in extra charges, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate being late. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic infractions, or other charges incurred during your rental period, along with an applicable administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in Weston-super-Mare
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every car rental in Weston-super-Mare. You can find comprehensive coverage details and any applicable excess amounts in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to lower your financial responsibility. Please review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless you opt for extra coverage. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will remain your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
6. Changes and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.

Operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle must not be used for purposes it was not intended for, nor should passenger or weight limits be exceeded.
