Rental Terms
All car hires at Manchester Airport are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, charges, and your obligations related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle at Manchester Airport requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Manchester Airport, drivers must be a minimum of 21 years old, though age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type. A valid full driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category, is required, along with proof of identity and current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit are also necessary. Additional requirements may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations for car hire at Manchester Airport can be completed via our website, by phone, or directly at our airport location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and any security deposit are generally payable upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include applicable VAT. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At Manchester Airport, it is essential to inspect your hire vehicle thoroughly upon collection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed by both parties. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as received, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may result in charges. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as when collected; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may incur extra costs, so please inform us right away if you anticipate a delay. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges that occur during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All car rentals at Manchester Airport come with basic third-party insurance. The specifics of coverage and any excess amounts will be detailed in your Rental Agreement. There may be options for additional insurance to lower your financial responsibility. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you opt for additional coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.
