Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Eastleigh are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines essential terms, conditions, insurance provisions, fees, and your obligations for the rental period. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Eastleigh
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Eastleigh, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may apply to certain vehicle types, with extra charges for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence relevant to the vehicle category is required, held for a minimum duration specified in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, valid identification and proof of your current address must be provided, along with payment information and a security deposit. Please review the Rental Agreement for any further requirements that may apply.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made directly via our website, over the phone, or at our Eastleigh office. A deposit may be required to confirm your booking, with the total payment and security deposit due upon vehicle pick-up. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include applicable VAT. We accept major credit and debit cards, securely processed through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle, please conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage immediately. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by you. It is important to return the vehicle in the same condition as it was issued, allowing for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please notify us promptly if you expect a delay. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, and associated administration fees during your rental period.
Insurance and Liability in Eastleigh
- All car rentals in Eastleigh include basic third-party insurance. Comprehensive details regarding coverage and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial responsibility. Review these options carefully, as you remain liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, except where additional insurance applies. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
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 failure to show may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities in Eastleigh
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- Use of the vehicle for any illegal activities is strictly prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in hazardous maneuvers. Transporting dangerous materials, sub-letting to others, or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger and weight limits, and operating the vehicle beyond designated geographical areas without prior approval are also violations of the terms.
Breach of terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations in Eastleigh
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire Eastleigh will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, that may arise from your use of our services.

This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
