Welcome to Car Hire Aberystwyth. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By utilizing our services, you agree to these terms.
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, fees, and your obligations for the rental period. 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 hire a vehicle in Aberystwyth, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary based on the vehicle type, with possible extra charges for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, and it should be held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. You will need to present valid identification and proof of your current address, along with payment information and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Terms
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Aberystwyth office. To confirm your booking, a deposit may be necessary. The remaining balance and security deposit are usually payable at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are stated in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where relevant. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment processors.
4. Car Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Aberystwyth, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by both parties. Upon returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, aside from normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charges will apply as necessary. Please return the vehicle with the fuel level matching that at collection; refueling fees will be incurred if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may lead to extra charges, so contact us promptly if a late return is anticipated. You are liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that arise during the rental period, along with a related administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All car rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. You will find comprehensive details regarding coverage and excess amounts in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to help minimize your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be responsible for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless you have opted for additional coverage. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of any insurance provisions.
6. Changes and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For precise details, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Please be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.

Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden.
