Welcome to Car Hire Letchworth Garden City. 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 in Letchworth Garden City are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines your specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your obligations for the rental period. In cases of discrepancy, the Rental Agreement will prevail over these Terms.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Letchworth
- To rent a vehicle in Letchworth Garden City, drivers must be at least 21 years old, with age restrictions that can vary depending on the vehicle type. Those under 25 may incur additional fees. A valid driving licence is required, along with proof of identity and current address. Payment details and a security deposit must also be provided, in addition to any specific requirements listed in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or in person at our Letchworth Garden City office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment and security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed through secure and reputable payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Letchworth Garden City, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage immediately. A detailed vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed by both parties. The vehicle must be returned in the same condition as it was received, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated, and relevant charges will be applied. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as collected; refueling charges will apply if it is returned with less fuel. If you expect to return the vehicle late, please contact us promptly, as late returns may incur additional fees. You are accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
5. Insurance and Responsibility
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance coverage. Details regarding coverage and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. For those seeking reduced financial liability, additional insurance options may be available. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless further insurance is purchased. Responsibility for damage resulting from negligence or misuse lies with you, irrespective of any insurance coverage.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ depending on the booking type and notice period. For detailed information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses: Letchworth Specific

Additionally, traveling outside the agreed geographical boundaries without proper permission is not permitted.
