YouRentACar.co.uk Limited which is a limited company registered in England and Wales (Number: 09037578) whose registered address is at "42 BROCKLEY COMBE, WEYBRIDGE, KT13 9QD, UK" These terms and conditions, together with our web site terms and conditions of use, privacy policy and security policy constitute our agreement with you, the renter, for the services we provide in arranging for the supply of car hire. Together, these are referred to as our terms. These terms shall apply to all contracts for the provision of our servicesto the exclusion of all other terms and conditions. No conduct by YouRenACar.org shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of any other terms.

You will be provided with a vehicle by us either directly or as agent. The capacity in which we act depends on our relationship with the car hire company.

These terms apply to any booking that you, the renter, make with us on or through this web site, so you should make sure that you are aware of their contents. Both our terms and conditions and those of our local providers contain some exclusions and limitations of liability.

Your booking on this web site is conditional on you, the renter, accepting our terms. If you, the renter, do not agree with any part of them you must not proceed with your booking. By confirming that you wish to book a vehicle through this web site you, the renter, indicate that you have read, understood and accept the relevant terms. If there is any part that you, the renter, do not fully understand, or if you have a query about the vehicle hire or any other product, please contact us on (+44)2035144423 or send us on reservation@yourentacar.org

There may be some circumstances where we do not know whether or not the car hire company has a particular vehicle available. This will be clearly indicated either before or after you, the renter, have sent your request through. In these cases we will put the vehicle on 'request' with the car hire company. This means that although we cannot immediately confirm to you, the renter, that your requested vehicle is available we will use our reasonable endeavors to find it for you and will inform you of the outcome within 48 hours of your request. In other cases the requested vehicle is available. Where you, the renter, offer to hire a vehicle or other product on this web site at the suggested price it may be accepted within 48 hours of you submitting your order (or up to 1 day before arrival, if earlier).

We will notify you, the renter, by return e-mail and by emailing a booking confirmation if your offer has been accepted. Please note that you, the renter, will not have any contract for vehicle hire at the price offered until your booking has been confirmed and the necessary payment received. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Please note that any contract entered into will be with the individual actually booking the vehicle and all correspondence will be sent to that address given, even where a third party actually pays for the hire. For the avoidance of doubt nothing contained in our terms shall entitle any third party to any benefit or rights pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

The rental voucher must be presented to the car hire company when picking up your rental car. YouRentACar.co.uk cannot be held responsible for rentals rejected if a voucher is not presented.

YouRentACar.co.uk cannot accept liability for any charges incurred as a result of documentation signed for and accepted locally.

YouRentACar.co.uk will not be held responsible for anyone driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs, causing wilful damage, off road driving or driving without due care and attention. You, the renter, will accept full responsibility in respect of such claims. This list is not exhaustive.

What is included/excluded in the price?
Please read the specific terms and conditions
# In Canada, unlimited mileage is applicable to travel within adjacent provinces/states of collection.
# Some exclusions may apply, please check with reservations centre.

Collision Damage Waiver reduces the renter's liability from the total cost of the damage, to an excess amount where applicable unless the renter intentionally causes the damage is under the influence of drink or drugs or uses the vehicle in a prohibited or negligent way e.g. driving off main roads or hiring to other parties. CDW covers liability for damage to the vehicle or its parts and accessories. In most destinations windscreens, tyres, under carriage, replacement locks, replacement keys and towing charges are not covered under the insurance policy. Other exclusions may apply & can differ between rental companies, so we recommend checking with the car hire company at the time of collecting the vehicle what the exclusions are.

(TW) reduces the renter's liability in the event of theft or damages caused due to theft or attempted theft of the vehicle to an excess amount where applicable. Negligence connected with the theft of the vehicle may lead to the car hire company requiring the full amount for the cost of the vehicle.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Please check carefully the details of the insurance provided by the car hire company. It is not unusual for third party cover to exclude blood relatives and members of your immediate family or members of the same home address who travel with you, the renter, in the vehicle. Top up policies will normally be available to purchase directly from the car hire company, or such cover may already be included in your holiday insurance. For peace of mind, YouRentACar.co.uk strongly recommends that you, the renter, familiarize yourself fully with the extent of the cover provided with any rental & where necessary, take out additional cover in respect of your spouse and any children or close relatives who will be accompanying you in the vehicle.

This optional insurance may be covered by your holiday insurance (check before you, the renter, travel). If you require PAI, it can be purchased locally on collection of the hire car.

Our deposit which will be taken on the website is non-refundable deposit . When collecting the vehicle you will be required to leave a deposit to the value of any insurance excess which may be charged by our car rental partner if the car is damaged during the rental. The maximum excess will be shown in the terms & conditions during the booking process. YouRentACar.co.uk offers a damage excess waiver product which, if purchased prior to collection of the vehicle, offers reimbursement for the damage (excluding administration and immobilisation fees) paid to the supplier as a result of a claim on the Collision Damage Waiver whilst renting your vehicle. . The damage excess can be reclaimed through YouRentACar.co.uk subject to our terms and conditions, provided you forward a copy of the following to YouRentACar.co.uk.

• A copy of the supplier accident report form, (this should be completed before completing the rental).
• A police report if a 3rd party was involved in the incident
• A copy of your vehicle check-in & check-out documents which clearly show the new damage being charged for.
• Evidence of payments deducted on your credit card.

• Damage caused to the windows, windscreen, glass, interior, personal belongings, wheels and/or tyres, the roof or undercarriage
• Where the driver is under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol
• Where the driver was not a named driver on the rental agreement
• Towing charges or damage caused by the rental vehicle being towed by an unauthorised third party
• Off road time / Immobilization fees as a result of damage
• Where the vehicle has been driven negligently or without due care & attention, including driving off road.
• Damage to contents or people in the vehicle
• Theft of the vehicle
• Administration fees relating to damage

Most of the car hire company require a deposit at the start of the rental to cover petrol, liability excess and other charges incurred during the hire. A valid major credit card will be required in most cases (check with our Reservations Centre) and must be in the lead driver's name. Provided the car & extras are returned in the same state as rented & in accordance with the fuel policy, this deposit will be refunded when returning the vehicle. Please note some local rental companies operate a fuel policy where you, the renter, must purchase the first tank of fuel & return the vehicle empty - in these circumstances there is no refund for unused fuel.

In most airport locations flights will be met and cars supplied outside of normal working hours. However, there may be an additional charge for this service, which will be payable to the car hire company. We will advise you, the renter, whether a charge will apply when you confirm your pick up times in your booking request. In the event that a flight is delayed, causing the car pick-up to fall outside normal working hours, the additional charge will be made locally, where the out of hours service is available. YouRentACar.co.uk can accept no further responsibility where there is no out of hour's facility available and it is therefore recommended that you, the renter, take independent travel insurance.

In most destinations, the minimum hiring age is 21 years. Surcharges can apply with certain suppliers & in certain countries for drivers aged less than 25 years and over 65 years, where the correct driver age has been submitted with the booking request we will advise of any likely charges, please check and read carefully the terms and conditions for the minimum and maximum age restrictions. Minimum age requirements on larger car groups may also be increased at selected locations. Please check with our Reservations Centre if you, the renter, have any questions or concerns on this matter.

Charges may apply for additional drivers in certain areas, payable locally (Unless specified on the YouRentACar.co.uk voucher). Please check with our Reservations Centre. Period of Hire/Daily Rate Calculation
Hire periods are calculated on a 24-hour basis. After collection of the car, an extension of the hire period and late returns will be supplied and charged for by our local supplier at the local daily tariff (which may be considerably higher).

The duration of your rental starts and finishes according to the pick-up and drop-off dates and times detailed on your voucher, the price of which will be confirmed at time of booking and is calculated on the basis of 24-hour units. If you, (the renter), wish to extend the rental period after collection of the car, or if you return the car later than stated on your voucher. The contract for such an extension will always be with the car hire company directly and will charged by the car hire company at the local daily rate, which may be higher than the rates agreed with us at the time of booking. Unfortunately YouRentACar.co.uk are unable to make refunds for vehicles returned early.

One way rentals must be confirmed in advance and may be subject to drop charges, payable to the car hire company. We will advise you, the renter, on the approximate costs after we receive your booking request & receive confirmation from the car hire company on the one way rental.

Child seats and roof racks (not available on some vehicles) and additional items are available on request in most destinations, although they cannot be guaranteed. In most states of the USA child seats are required by law. There is usually a charge payable to the car hire company. Please note rear seat belts may not be provided in all vehicles. Check with our reservations centre regarding these items. Requests for these items should be made at the time of booking.

Delivery and collection charges may be applied (by the car hire company) outside office hours even if late collection is caused by a flight delay. In most locations, the car hire company will offer delivery and collection to/from accommodation, although a charge may apply. Full address details and a time of delivery must be given at the time of booking. Please note deliveries cannot be made to private accommodation.

Restrictions may be applicable when crossing country / state borders; our Reservations Centre must therefore be advised at the time of booking whether you, the renter, intend to travel with the vehicle into any other country/state. Additional documentation may be required and local charges may apply for travel to certain countries. Restrictions may also apply in Australia and remote areas, please check with our Reservations Centre.

If You, the Renter, Wish to Make Changes to Your Booking
No charge will be made for amending your reservation before the start of your rental. This excludes any charges which may be due from a material change to the reservation such as the duration or car type. Amending the drivers name or the pick-up location may require the cancellation and re-booking of a reservation. To cancel your booking, please call a member of our team on 0000 0000000 and have your name and reference number ready and we will then communicate with car hire company.

In all such cases we will advise you, the renter, as soon as reasonably possible before the time of hire and, if the proposed changes are unacceptable, you will be offered you a full refund. However, in such circumstances, we shall have no additional liability in respect for any direct or indirect losses you may suffer as a result of such changes.

If using an international license /permit, a full driving license in the principal driver’s name will still be mandatory in order to rent the vehicle.
