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 document outlines the terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your responsibilities for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the latter will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Sutton-in-Ashfield requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Sutton-in-Ashfield, you must be at least 21 years old, though some vehicle categories may have different age restrictions, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence for the relevant vehicle category, along with proof of identity and current address, is required. You will also need to provide valid payment details and a security deposit, as well as comply with any further conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Sutton-in-Ashfield office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required when collecting your vehicle. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection in Sutton-in-Ashfield, you are required to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed to document this. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when collected, factoring in normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur charges. The vehicle must also be returned with the same fuel level as received; refueling fees will apply if the tank is less full. Please be aware that late returns could result in additional fees, so contact us as soon as possible if you foresee a delay. You will be responsible for any parking tickets, traffic violations, or charges accrued during your rental, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance as standard. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. Options for additional insurance may be available to limit your financial exposure. It is important to review these options thoroughly. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless further insurance coverage is obtained. Damage resulting from neglect, improper use, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities. Engaging in racing, off-roading, or similar risky pursuits is prohibited. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting to others or permitting unauthorized drivers is strictly forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. Additionally, the vehicle should not be used for purposes it was not intended for, nor should passenger or weight limits be exceeded.

Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
