Welcome to Car Hire Littlehampton. These Terms of Service govern your access to our website and vehicle rental offerings. By using our services, you agree to comply with these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Littlehampton are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take precedence.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Littlehampton
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Littlehampton, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age limits may vary depending on the vehicle type. A valid driving licence, held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement, is required. Additionally, customers need to present valid identification, proof of address, and payment information, including a security deposit, along with any other requirements stated in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments in Littlehampton
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Littlehampton office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required upon collecting your vehicle. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed through secure payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Littlehampton, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection of the car and immediately report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed by both parties. The vehicle must be returned in the same condition as it was collected, allowing for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be assessed and appropriate charges applied. The fuel level should match that at the time of pickup; refueling fees will be incurred if the tank is less full upon return. Late returns may attract additional charges, so please contact us as soon as possible if a delay is anticipated. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that occur during the rental period, plus an administration fee.
5. Liability and Coverage
- Basic third-party insurance is included with all vehicle rentals in Littlehampton. You will find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be responsible for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount, unless you opt for additional coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance status.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. 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, which could affect your overall rental experience.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities or purposes. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other forms of dangerous driving is prohibited. Transporting hazardous materials, sub-letting the vehicle, or allowing unauthorized individuals to drive is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Adherence to passenger and weight limits is required, along with compliance to agreed geographical boundaries.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.

Our liability for any claims will be limited to the amount you paid for the rental in the past 12 months.
