Welcome to Car Hire Bearsden. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines important terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your responsibilities regarding the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a Vehicle in Bearsden: Requirements
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Bearsden, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. A valid full driving licence is required, along with proof of identity and current address. Additionally, valid payment details and a security deposit are necessary, as well as any specific conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or at our Bearsden office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The remaining balance and security deposit are generally required upon collecting your vehicle. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Bearsden, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and must be signed by both parties. 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 as necessary. Ensure that the fuel level matches what was provided at collection; refueling fees will apply if the vehicle is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in extra charges, so please communicate with us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with an associated administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Coverage
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance. You will find detailed coverage information and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to help lower your financial liability. It is beneficial to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless you have opted for extra coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, regardless of existing insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, rallying, or off-roading, as well as transporting hazardous materials. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is prohibited. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. Adhere to passenger and weight limits, and do not drive outside of agreed geographical boundaries without authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, Car Hire Bearsden will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits or data, that may arise from your use of our services. Our liability for any claims is capped at the total amount you paid for the rental in the past year. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or for fraudulent actions.
Local Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be resolved exclusively in the courts of England and Wales.
Updates 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.
