Welcome to Biggin Hill Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By using our services, you agree to comply with these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, provided at the time of booking confirmation or when collecting your vehicle. This agreement outlines important terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your responsibilities for the rental period. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the latter will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Biggin Hill
- To rent a vehicle from our Biggin Hill location, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type, with potential additional fees for drivers under 25. A valid driving license appropriate for the vehicle class is required, held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. You will also need to present valid identification and proof of your current address, alongside payment details and a security deposit. Please be aware of any extra requirements listed in your Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Bookings for car hire services in Biggin Hill can be completed via our website, by phone, or at our local office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. Full payment along with a security deposit is generally required upon vehicle pickup. All transactions are conducted in British Pounds (£) and include applicable VAT. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment platforms.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be generated and signed to maintain a clear record. Upon return, the vehicle should be in the same condition as it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure the fuel level matches what was provided at the start of the rental; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in additional charges, so please notify us immediately if delays are anticipated. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance coverage. Detailed information regarding coverage limits and any applicable excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to mitigate your financial exposure. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you opt for extra insurance. Damage resulting from negligence or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance status.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and modification policies differ depending on your booking type and the notice period provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Keep in mind that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Uses
Prohibited Uses of Vehicle

Transporting hazardous materials, sub-letting the vehicle, or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. Vehicles must be used for their intended purpose only, while respecting passenger and weight limits. Driving beyond the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
