Swindon Car Hire Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement that you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Swindon
- To hire a vehicle in Swindon, you must be at least 21 years old, though restrictions may apply based on the vehicle type, with extra fees for drivers under 25. You are required to possess a valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category, held for the period outlined in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of your current address must also be presented, along with payment details and a security deposit. Additional stipulations may be specified in the Rental Agreement.
3. Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be completed via our website, by telephone, or in person at our Swindon office. To confirm your booking, a deposit may be required. Full payment and a security deposit are generally due 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, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle in Swindon, you are required to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. We will prepare a vehicle condition report that you will need to sign. Please return the vehicle in the same state as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure the fuel level matches that at collection to avoid refueling charges. Late returns may incur extra fees, so please contact us promptly if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking tickets, traffic violations, or related charges during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
5. Liability and Insurance
- All rentals in Swindon include basic third-party insurance, with full details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Optional insurance coverage may be available to further limit your financial responsibility. It is recommended to review these options thoroughly. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless additional insurance is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse will remain your responsibility regardless of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking made and the advance notice provided. For precise details, please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Late cancellations or missed reservations may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Restrictions on Vehicle Use in Swindon
- Use of the vehicle for any unlawful activities is strictly prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-road driving, or any other dangerous behavior. Transporting hazardous materials, sub-letting to others, or allowing unauthorized drivers is also not permitted. Driving under the influence or exceeding passenger and weight limits is unacceptable. Additionally, operating the vehicle outside of agreed geographical boundaries without prior consent is not allowed.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.

Our liability for any claims is limited to the total amount paid for the rental over the past 12 months.
