Rental Terms
All car rentals in Long Eaton 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 specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your obligations related to the rental. In the event 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 Long Eaton, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type. A valid full driving licence appropriate for the chosen vehicle category is required, along with proof of identity and current address. Additionally, valid payment information and a security deposit are necessary. Any further conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement must also be met.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or at our Long Eaton office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and security deposit are usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure processing through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pick-Up and Drop-Off
- At the time of collection in Long Eaton, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed by both parties. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged appropriately. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may incur extra charges, so please notify us promptly if you expect to return the vehicle late. You will be held responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or related charges incurred during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every car rental in Long Eaton. Full details regarding coverage and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lessen your financial liability. Review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless additional insurance is purchased. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on your booking type and the notice period provided. For specific details, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges, which will be outlined in your agreement.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rented Vehicle
- Use of the vehicle for any illegal activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-road driving, or any other dangerous pursuits. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is prohibited. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should not be used for purposes it was not intended for, nor should passenger or weight limits be exceeded. Travel outside designated geographical boundaries requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and fees.

Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the rental amount you paid in the previous 12 months.
