Welcome to Upminster Car Hire Services. These Terms of Service govern your access to our website carhireupminster.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By using our services, you agree to these terms.
Upminster Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals through Car Hire in Upminster are governed by a Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your responsibilities pertaining to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Upminster
- To rent a vehicle with Car Hire in Upminster, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may apply based on the vehicle type, with additional fees for drivers under 25. A valid, full driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, held for the minimum duration stated in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, you must present valid identification and proof of your current address, along with acceptable payment information and a security deposit. Please make sure to fulfill any further requirements laid out in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Upminster location. A booking deposit may be required to confirm your rental. Full payment and a security deposit are generally due at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include applicable VAT. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Upminster, it is imperative to conduct a detailed inspection and report any pre-existing damage to our staff. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed to document the vehicle's state. It is expected that the vehicle be returned in the same condition as when it was picked up, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as at collection, as refueling fees will apply if the tank is not at the same level. Late returns may incur additional fees, and we ask that you contact us if you anticipate a delay. As the renter, you will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
5. Liability and Insurance
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Details regarding coverage and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. Options for additional insurance may be available to lower your financial responsibility. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless you opt for additional coverage. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and modification policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For specific information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Cancellations made late or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities in Upminster
Prohibited Vehicle Uses

The vehicle must not be used for transporting hazardous materials or sub-letting to unauthorized individuals. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Adherence to passenger and weight limits is required, as is compliance with geographical restrictions unless prior authorization is obtained.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and fees.
