Welcome to Car Hire Wokingham. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website carhirewokingham.co.uk and our vehicle rental services. By utilizing our services, you agree to comply with these terms.
Wokingham Rental Terms
All car rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, related charges, and your responsibilities for that rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement prevails.
Eligibility Criteria
Rent a Vehicle with Us
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Wokingham, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle. A valid full driving licence is required, held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, you need to present valid identification and proof of address, along with payment details and a security deposit. Please review the Rental Agreement for any additional criteria that may apply.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be completed via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Wokingham office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All charges are displayed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment processors.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be created and both parties will sign it. The vehicle must be returned in the same state as when it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged appropriately. Ensure the fuel level upon return matches that at collection, as refueling charges will apply if it is lower. If you anticipate a late return, please contact us immediately, as additional charges may apply. You are responsible for any parking tickets, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental period, in addition to an administration fee.
5. Insurance and Responsibility
- Basic third-party insurance is included with all vehicle rentals. You can find comprehensive coverage details and any applicable excess amounts in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help minimize your financial exposure. It is wise to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for damage or loss up to the insurance excess unless further insurance is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of your insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Amendments
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For detailed information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges. It is advisable to manage your bookings proactively to avoid any unexpected fees.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses in Wokingham

Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is prohibited. Additionally, using the vehicle for purposes it was not designed for, exceeding passenger or weight limits, or driving outside the agreed geographical area without proper authorization is not permitted.
