Welcome to Car Hire Haywards Heath. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By utilizing our services, you agree to abide by these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Haywards Heath are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or when collecting your vehicle. 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 prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Haywards Heath
- To hire a vehicle in Haywards Heath, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though specific age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for those under 25. A valid full driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category, must be held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, valid identification, proof of address, payment details, and a security deposit are required. Any other conditions specified in the Rental Agreement must also be met.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or in person at our Haywards Heath office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and a security deposit are generally required at the time of vehicle pick-up. All fees are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept all major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is essential to conduct a comprehensive inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by both parties. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same state as when it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as it was provided; refueling fees will apply if the level is lower. Be aware that late returns may incur additional fees. If you anticipate returning the vehicle late, please contact us as soon as possible. You will be responsible for any parking tickets, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during the rental period, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability in Haywards Heath
- Basic third-party insurance is included with every rental from Car Hire in Haywards Heath. The Rental Agreement outlines full coverage details and any applicable excess amounts. Additional insurance options may be available to lower your liability. You will be responsible for damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless you have opted for further coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For detailed information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges, which are outlined in your agreement for clarity.
7. Restricted Activities in Haywards Heath

Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden, as is exceeding weight or passenger limits.
