Shrewsbury Car Rental Agreement
All vehicle rentals come with a comprehensive Rental Agreement presented at the time of booking or vehicle pickup. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your obligations for the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria in Shrewsbury
Renting a vehicle requires:
- To rent a vehicle in Shrewsbury, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, with potential extra charges for drivers under 25. A valid, full driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is required, held for the minimum period stated in the Rental Agreement. You will need to present valid identification and proof of your current address, along with valid payment information and a security deposit. Additional requirements may apply as outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations for car hire can be completed via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Shrewsbury office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required when you pick up the vehicle. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed to document the state of the car at the time of pickup. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as you received it, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as when collected to avoid refueling fees. Late returns may lead to extra charges, so please notify us promptly if you anticipate being late. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every rental in Shrewsbury. Full coverage details and excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to help minimize your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options closely. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount, unless additional coverage is obtained. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violations of these Terms will remain your responsibility, regardless of insurance status.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for illegal activities or purposes. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other risky maneuvers is prohibited. Transporting hazardous materials or sub-letting the vehicle to unauthorized individuals is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, ensure that the vehicle is used within its intended capacity, adhering to passenger and weight limits.

Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
