Welcome to Car Hire Newbury. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By utilizing our services, you agree to comply with these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals at Car Hire in Newbury are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement that you will receive upon booking confirmation or when you collect the vehicle. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance details, charges, and your responsibilities for the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take priority.
Eligibility Criteria
Vehicle Rental Requirements
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Newbury, you must be at least 21 years old, with specific age requirements varying depending on the vehicle type. A valid full driving licence, appropriate for the chosen vehicle category, must be held for the minimum duration specified in your Rental Agreement. You will also need to present valid identification, proof of your current address, and provide payment details along with a security deposit. Additional requirements may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Bookings for Car Hire in Newbury can be completed through our website, by phone, or directly at our local office. A booking deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required upon vehicle collection. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing via trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, a thorough inspection is required to identify and report any pre-existing damage. You will complete and sign a vehicle condition report to document this assessment. The vehicle must be returned in the same condition it was collected, allowing only for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and billed accordingly. You are expected to return the vehicle with the same fuel level as when it was picked up; refueling charges will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may incur additional fees, so please contact us if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or fees incurred during your rental, along with an administration charge.
Insurance and Liability in Newbury
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance as standard. Detailed coverage information and applicable excess amounts can be found within your Rental Agreement. Options for additional insurance may be available to minimize your financial exposure. Be aware that you will be liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless extra coverage is purchased. You remain responsible for damage resulting from negligence or misuse, irrespective of insurance provisions.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. Please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement for detailed information. Charges may apply for late cancellations or no-shows, so it's important to check your terms carefully.
7. Restricted Activities

Transporting hazardous materials, sub-letting, or allowing unauthorized drivers is prohibited. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is forbidden. Additionally, using the vehicle beyond its intended purpose, exceeding passenger or weight limits, or driving outside designated areas without prior consent is not permitted.
