Car Hire Agreement
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or vehicle pick-up. This document outlines the terms, conditions, insurance provisions, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the provisions of the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Requirements for Vehicle Rental
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Broxburn, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age requirements may differ based on the vehicle type. A valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category must be held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Renters are also required to present valid identification and proof of residence. Payment details and a security deposit are necessary. Any additional criteria listed in the Rental Agreement must be met.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations for Car Hire services in Broxburn can be completed via our website, over the phone, or directly at our local office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and security deposit are usually due upon vehicle pickup. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment services.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be created and must be signed by both parties. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and fees may be applied. The vehicle must also be returned with the same fuel level as collected; refueling charges will be incurred if the fuel level is lower. Should you anticipate a late return, please contact us promptly, as late fees may apply. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or additional charges accrued during the rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Responsibility
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Details regarding coverage and excess amounts can be found in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess unless covered by extra insurance. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of your insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up could incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rented Vehicle
- The vehicle may not be used for any illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in any potentially hazardous actions. Transporting dangerous materials is strictly prohibited. Sub-letting to others or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. Users must adhere to vehicle design specifications, including passenger and weight limits. Operating the vehicle outside of the agreed geographical area requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
