Welcome to Arbroath Car Hire. These Terms of Service outline your rights and responsibilities while using our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All car rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This document outlines essential terms, conditions, insurance coverage, applicable charges, and your obligations for the rental period. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Arbroath, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions can vary based on the vehicle type. A valid driving licence for the appropriate category is required, along with proof of identity and current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit must also be provided, alongside any additional criteria outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be completed via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Arbroath office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment and a security deposit are usually required upon vehicle pick-up. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where relevant. We accept major credit and debit cards, with transactions processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Arbroath, conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage to our team without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and both parties will sign it to confirm the state of the vehicle. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged appropriately. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at pick-up to avoid refueling charges. Late returns may result in additional fees, so please notify us as soon as possible if you foresee a delay. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental, along with a nominal administration fee.
Insurance and Responsibility
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial liability. It is beneficial to review these options closely. You will be liable for damage or loss up to the excess amount unless additional insurance is purchased. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or breach of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited uses of the rental vehicle:
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or other high-risk maneuvers. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. The vehicle cannot be sub-let to others or operated by unauthorized drivers. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, using the vehicle for purposes it is not intended for, exceeding passenger or weight limits, or driving beyond the agreed geographical boundaries without prior approval is not allowed.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by Scottish law, Car Hire Arbroath will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, that may arise from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims is capped at the rental amount paid in the past 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or fraud.
9. Applicable Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be resolved exclusively in the courts of England and Wales.
Revisions to Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
