Welcome to Watford Car Hire Services. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By utilizing our services, you agree to abide by these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Watford are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided during booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines specific 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 latter will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Watford
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Watford, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions vary based on the vehicle type, with extra fees for drivers under 25. You need to possess a valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category, held for the duration specified in your Rental Agreement. Additionally, valid identification and proof of address are required, along with payment information and a security deposit. Please review the Rental Agreement for any further requirements.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations for car hire can be arranged via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Watford office. A booking deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required upon collecting the vehicle. All charges are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is necessary to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and must be signed by both parties. It is expected that the vehicle be returned in the same condition as it was collected, factoring in normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Please ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling charges will apply if the tank is below the initial level. Late returns may incur extra fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if a delay is anticipated. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental period, along with an additional administration fee.
5. Insurance and Responsibility
- Basic third-party insurance is included with all vehicle rentals in Watford. You can find comprehensive coverage details and applicable excess amounts in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help limit your financial exposure. Review these options carefully, as you are liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess unless you opt for extra coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, irrespective of your insurance status.
6. Cancellations and Modifications
Cancellation and modification policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Cancellations made too late or failure to show up may incur additional charges.

Breach of terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
