Welcome to Bexley Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals with Car Hire Bexley are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which will be provided at the time of booking confirmation or upon vehicle collection. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your responsibilities for 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 Bexley, you must be at least 21 years old, although age limits may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. You need a valid, full driving licence suitable for the vehicle category, held for the minimum duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, present valid identification and proof of your current address. Ensure you have valid payment details and a security deposit ready. Comply with any further requirements mentioned in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Bexley office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment partners.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed by both parties. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same state as when it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. The vehicle must also be returned with the same fuel level as received; otherwise, refueling charges will apply. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please inform us promptly if you anticipate any delays. You will be held accountable for any parking violations, traffic fines, or additional charges that occur during your rental, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Coverage
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Details regarding coverage and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. Options for additional insurance may be offered to lower your financial exposure. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, except where additional insurance applies. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violations of these Terms will be your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
6. Cancellations and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Cancellations made after the specified time or failure to show may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Vehicle

Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited. The vehicle must not be used for purposes it is not designed for, nor should passenger or weight limits be exceeded. Driving outside the specified geographical limits requires prior authorization.
