Okehampton Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals in Okehampton are governed by a Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, charges, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Vehicle Rental Requirements
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Okehampton, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions can vary by vehicle type. Drivers under 25 may incur additional fees. A valid, full driving licence for the appropriate vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. You must also provide valid payment information and a security deposit, and meet any further conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Okehampton office. A booking deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. 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 securely through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed to document the vehicle's state. Upon return, the vehicle should be in the same condition as when it was collected, allowing for reasonable wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated, and associated charges will be applied. You must return the vehicle with the same fuel level as at collection; otherwise, refueling charges will be incurred. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please contact us if you expect to return the vehicle later than agreed. You are liable for any parking fines, traffic infractions, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Guidelines
- Basic third-party insurance is included with all vehicle rentals in Okehampton. The Rental Agreement outlines full coverage details and any applicable excess amounts. Additional insurance options may be available to minimize your financial liability. It is beneficial to review these options closely. You will be responsible for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, except when covered by extra insurance. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice given. 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 Vehicle Uses in Okehampton

Sub-letting or allowing unauthorized drivers is not permitted. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. Adherence to passenger and weight limits is required, and driving outside designated geographical areas without prior consent is not allowed.
Violation of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
