Welcome to Thame Vehicle Hire Services. These Terms of Service (Terms) govern your use of our website carhirethame.co.uk and our vehicle rental services. By using our services you accept these Terms and any rules posted on the site.

1. Thame Rental Agreement

All vehicle rentals with Thame are governed by a detailed Rental Agreement provided at booking confirmation or at vehicle collection. This agreement sets out the specific terms, conditions, insurance cover, charges, and your responsibilities for the particular rental. If any part of these Terms conflicts with the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.

  • Be at least 21 years old (age restrictions may vary by vehicle type, with extra charges possible for drivers under 25).

Provide valid identification and proof of address, together with any other documents Thame requires on collection.

3. Reservations and Payment

Any new damage identified on return will be assessed and charged to you in line with Thame’s damage policy.

5. Liability and Insurance for Thame
