Yeovil Car Rental Agreement
All car rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance provisions, and any applicable charges, along with your responsibilities during the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
