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 agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, charges, and your responsibilities regarding 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 Wythenshawe, you must be at least 21 years old. Age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type, and drivers under 25 may incur extra charges. A valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, along with valid identification and proof of your current address. You must also supply valid payment details and a security deposit, as well as meet any other conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Wythenshawe location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment and security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where relevant. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Wythenshawe, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and must be signed by both parties. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as it was collected, allowing for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charges may be applied accordingly. You must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel as at collection; refueling fees will be incurred for lower levels. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please contact us as soon as possible if you foresee any delays. You will also be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges that arise during your rental, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. You will find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options closely. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless additional insurance applies. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse is your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited uses of the rental vehicle:

Operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle must be used only for its intended purposes, and adherence to passenger and weight limits is required.
