Plymouth Rental Agreement
All vehicle rentals in Plymouth are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle collection. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance details, and any applicable charges, along with your responsibilities during the rental period. In cases of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Plymouth
- To rent a vehicle in Plymouth, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, with potential extra fees for those under 25. A valid driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of current address. Payment information and a security deposit must also be provided, along with any additional requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Plymouth office. A deposit may be necessary to finalize your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required upon vehicle pickup. All charges are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment gateways.
Vehicle Pick-Up and Drop-Off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Plymouth, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection of the car and report any pre-existing damage right away. This process will include completing a vehicle condition report, which you will need to sign. Upon returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. The vehicle should also be returned with the same fuel level as at pickup; otherwise, refueling fees will apply. If you anticipate a late return, please contact us as soon as possible, as additional charges may be incurred. You will be held accountable for any parking tickets, traffic violations, or fees that arise during your rental, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in Plymouth
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. You will find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to further limit your financial responsibility. Review these options carefully, as you will be liable for damage or loss up to the insurance excess unless you opt for extra coverage. Damage resulting from negligence or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of any insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on your booking type and the notice period provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges, which could affect your overall rental experience in Plymouth.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses in Plymouth

Breach of terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
