Welcome to Orpington Car Hire Services. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By using our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals come with a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive at the time of booking confirmation or upon collecting your vehicle. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations for the rental period. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Car in Orpington
- To hire a vehicle from Car Hire in Orpington, drivers must be at least 21 years old, with age restrictions varying by vehicle type. Those under 25 may incur additional charges. A valid driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category must be held for the minimum period outlined in the Rental Agreement. Identification and proof of current address are required, along with valid payment information and a security deposit. Additional criteria may be specified in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Orpington office. A deposit may be required to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit will typically be due at the time of 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 providers.
4. Vehicle Pick-Up and Drop-Off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and must be signed by you. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as received, allowing for standard wear and tear. Any new damages will be evaluated and charged as necessary. The fuel level should match that at the time of collection; refueling fees will apply if the level is lower. Late returns may result in additional charges, so please contact us promptly if you anticipate any delays. You will be held responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges accrued during the rental, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Responsibility
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. Details regarding coverage and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial liability. You will be responsible for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you opt for extra coverage. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse will remain your responsibility, irrespective of any insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For specific terms, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities in Orpington
Prohibited Uses of Vehicle

Transporting hazardous materials or sub-letting the vehicle is not allowed. Additionally, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, or operating the vehicle outside of agreed geographical boundaries without authorization is prohibited.
Breach of terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
