Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in West Hampstead are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided upon booking confirmation or when you collect your vehicle. This document outlines key terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your obligations during the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Car in West Hampstead
- To rent a vehicle in West Hampstead, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type. Drivers under 25 may incur additional fees. A valid, full driving licence suitable for the chosen vehicle is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Payment details, including a security deposit, must also be provided. Please refer to the Rental Agreement for any other specific requirements.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or at our office in West Hampstead. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The full payment and security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All fees are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through established payment gateways.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection, you are required to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed by both parties. It is expected that you return the vehicle in the same condition as it was received, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and billed accordingly. The vehicle should be returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling charges will be incurred for any discrepancies. Please be aware that late returns may attract additional fees, and you should contact us promptly if you foresee a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic infractions, or other charges accrued during your rental, in addition to a small administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in West Hampstead
- All rentals in West Hampstead include basic third-party insurance. Comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to minimize your financial liability, and reviewing these carefully is recommended. You remain accountable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount, unless additional insurance applies. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on your booking type and the notice period provided. For detailed information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges, impacting your overall rental experience in West Hampstead.

Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is forbidden. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is strictly against policy.
