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 essential terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. Should any discrepancies arise between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Cheadle Hulme requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Cheadle Hulme, drivers must be at least 21 years old, with age restrictions varying by vehicle type. A valid full driving licence, appropriate for the category of the vehicle, must be held for the period outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, valid identification, proof of current address, and payment details, including a security deposit, are required. Any further conditions will be detailed in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made on our website, via phone, or directly at our Cheadle Hulme office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is usually required at the time of vehicle collection. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment platforms.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Cheadle Hulme, 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. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as when it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged appropriately. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as received; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may attract additional charges, so contact us promptly if you foresee a delay. You are accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental period, along with an associated administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. You can find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available, potentially lowering your financial liability. It is prudent to review these options closely. You remain liable for damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you opt for extra coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
Cancellations and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.

Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should not be used for purposes it is not intended for, and passenger or weight limits must not be exceeded.
