At the start of each rental, you will be required to confirm that you continue to hold a valid driving licence permitting you to drive a vehicle in the UK and it is your responsibility to ensure that your driving licence remains valid and continues to comply with the conditions of paragraph 1(f).
h. If you do not hold a UK driving licence, you can still become a member. Please contact the Customer Care Centre for details on 0207 365 4199. The Customer Care Centre is open Monday to Sunday from 07:00 – 22:00.

j. You will also be required to provide us with details of your home and business address.
Age Considerations
k. The minimum qualifying age for Hertz 24/7 members shall be 21. Age qualifications may vary depending on local affiliations.
Liability and damage
l. Hertz 24/7 rates include a standard protection plan for damage and theft and third-party motor insurance, as required by law. You will be responsible for damage, theft or vandalism of our vehicle for an excess amount of up to £1,000 for one of our cars, or up to £1,200 for one of our vans.
m. Our protection plan and third-party motor insurance only cover you if you are not in breach of this Agreement and/or the damage was not caused intentionally and/or with gross negligence by you or an authorised driver. In this event, Hertz 24/7 reserves the right to charge for all losses up to the full vehicle value and our costs. Your liability to us may include (among others): cost of repairs, loss of rental income, towing and storage charges, loss of value in the vehicle and an administration charge.
n. Unless clause 1m applies, you will only have to pay up to the excess if there is damage, loss or theft of the vehicle. If the damage is lower than the amount of the excess, you will have to pay the cost of repairs and an administration fee. If we cannot assess the cost of the repairs at the time of damage notification, we will bill you for the full excess amount and refund the difference after the repairs have been completed, unless clause 1m applies.
o. Gross negligence (i.e. where you or an authorised driver act in a way they know or should know is likely to cause harm or damage) include in particular any roof damage and any damage caused if you put the wrong fuel into the vehicle, contaminate the fuel tank or contaminate the ad blue tank.
p. If the vehicle is stolen, you will be charged the full excess amount unless clause 1m applies, in which case you may be charged for the full vehicle value.
r. It is important that you notify us by email of any change in your licence status or if you have any points added to your licence as this may mean that our protection plan does not cover you.

15. Disputes and Governing Law
a. All disputes should be emailed to HertzUK24/7@hertz.com within 7 days of the rental concluding. The Hertz 24/7 team shall endeavour to respond to your query within 72 working hours.
b. If we cannot resolve the dispute directly with you, this Agreement will be governed by the laws of England and Wales and you agree that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle the dispute.
c. Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to contact the alternative dispute resolution provider we use. You can submit a complaint to the BVRLA Conciliation Service via their website at https://www.bvrla.co.uk/consumer-advice/making-a-complaint-adr/complaint-eligibility.html. In addition, please note that disputes may be submitted to the European Car Rental Conciliation Service (ECRCS) provided you are an EU resident and you were renting in a different EU country. The ECRCS is an independent conciliation service staffed by people who understand the car rental industry. They review any complaints against a Code of Conduct for car rental companies, prepared by Leaseurope on behalf of the industry, which we have signed up to. If a company has acted outside the requirements of the Code, the ECRCS will automatically find against them. Otherwise, they will decide on the merits of the case. We will comply with the decision of the ECRCS. You can contact the ECRCS at complaint@ecrcs.eu or visit their website at www.ecrcs.eu. Alternatively, if your issue is not eligible for the ECRCS, but concerns a European country, you can seek for online dispute resolution through the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform.
16. Renting Outside of the UK
a. If you wish to rent a Hertz 24/7 vehicle outside of the UK, then you must ensure that your driving licence is valid in the country of destination and permits you to drive vehicles in that country. If you are licensed by a country which does not permit us to obtain a copy of your driving record or we cannot confirm your licence details with the licensing authorities, then you must submit a copy of your driving record to the Customer Care Centre.
b. When you first make a reservation for the vehicle in a new country, we may require you to submit additional information to the Customer Care Centre.
c. If and when you make a reservation for a vehicle outside of the United Kingdom, then your rental shall be governed by this Agreement, subject to any local Hertz 24/7 terms and conditions of rental which you will be asked to agree to when you first make a booking in that territory. The booking and rental of the vehicle will then be with the Hertz 24/7 company in the territory where you pick up the vehicle, but your membership obligations shall remain with Hertz (U.K.) Limited. For the avoidance of doubt, Hertz 24/7 members residing outside of the UK shall comply with and be bound by the UK Hertz 24/7 terms and conditions of rental when renting in the UK.
17. Changes to the Membership and this Agreement
We may change the membership and this Agreement at any time and without liability:
A. to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and
B. to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. These changes will not significantly affect your use of the membership.
Hertz may notify you of such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting revised terms and conditions on this page or on our websites offering the membership. Any change to this Agreement shall take effect immediately, unless otherwise provided by Hertz or otherwise required or prohibited by law. You may view the current version of this Agreement at any time on the Hertz website.
If we need to make changes to the membership which may have a significant impact to your use of the membership, we will notify you and you may then contact us to end your membership before the changes take effect and receive a refund for any services paid for but not received. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, if you continue to use your membership after we change the membership and this Agreement, or if you do not cancel your membership, you will be indicating your acceptance of such changes. If any change to this Agreement is for any reason found invalid, void or unenforceable, such change is severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining change or any other provision of this Agreement.
18. Accuracy of Information
We expect members to submit and maintain accurate and current information in connection with their membership. Such information includes, without limitation, name, address, email address and phone number. Members are responsible for ensuring that all of their account information is up-to-date and accurate (as account information such as, without limitation, a member's billing address may affect certain membership renewal terms and legally mandated notice requirements). We are not responsible or liable for any correspondence (including any physical mail or email) that is lost, delayed or misdirected.
19. Liability
We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the membership.
We are not liable for any losses that were not caused by a breach of this Agreement by us.
We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the membership for domestic and private use. We will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
20. Acknowledgement
This Agreement, including all documents referenced herein, represent the entire understanding between you and Hertz with respect to the membership, and supersede any other agreements, statements or representations with respect to the membership. Headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any terms. Any member of the membership is deemed to have accepted this Agreement and our Privacy Policy.
21. Other important terms
We may transfer our rights and obligations under this Agreement to another organization. You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else.
This Agreement is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
If a court finds part of this Agreement illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of this Agreement operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
Even if we delay in enforcing this Agreement, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under this Agreement, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this Agreement, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
