Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Wednesbury are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive during the booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle pickup. This document 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 with us requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Wednesbury, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions can differ based on the vehicle type. Drivers under 25 may incur additional fees. A valid driving licence appropriate for the selected vehicle category is required, along with valid identification and proof of your current address. You will also need to provide payment information and a security deposit, as well as comply with any additional terms outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Wednesbury office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment along with a security deposit is usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. All rates are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with transactions processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Wednesbury, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and immediately report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed to document the state of the vehicle. Upon returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level; otherwise, refueling charges will apply. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please contact us beforehand if you expect to return the vehicle later than agreed. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance, with full details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to lower your financial liability. Please review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the specified excess, unless covered by additional insurance. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of your insurance coverage.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise details, please 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 Rental Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities, including racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, and operating outside of designated geographical areas without prior approval are all violations of this agreement.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.

To the fullest extent allowed by law in England and Wales, Car Hire Wednesbury will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, related to your use of our services. Our total liability for any claim will not exceed the rental amount you paid in the last 12 months.
