Welcome to Birmingham Airport Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals at Birmingham Airport come with a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which is provided during booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your responsibilities for that rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the latter will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle at Birmingham Airport requires:
- To hire a vehicle at Birmingham Airport, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type, with potential extra charges for those under 25. A valid full driving licence for the appropriate vehicle category is required, held for the minimum duration stated in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of current address must be provided, along with payment information and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be specified in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be completed via our website, over the phone, or directly at Birmingham Airport. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. 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 Birmingham Airport, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection of your rental vehicle upon collection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed by both parties for clarity. When returning the vehicle, please ensure it is in the same condition as when you collected it, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may result in additional charges. The vehicle should be returned with the same fuel level as at collection; otherwise, refueling fees will apply. In the event of a late return, additional charges may be incurred, so please notify us as soon as possible if you foresee a delay. You are liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or related charges that occur during your rental period, along with an associated administration fee.
Insurance and Responsibility
- Basic third-party insurance is included with all car rentals at Birmingham Airport. The Rental Agreement outlines full coverage details and excess amounts. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial liability. It is important to review these options closely. You are responsible for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless supplementary insurance is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violations of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies at Birmingham Airport depend on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- The vehicle may not be used for any unlawful activities. This includes racing, rallying, off-road driving, or any dangerous maneuvers. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should only be used for its intended purposes and must not exceed passenger or weight limits. Driving beyond the specified geographical boundaries requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
