Welcome to Car Hire in Kirkintilloch. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By using our services, you agree to these terms.
Car Rental Agreement
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines important terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your responsibilities for the rental. 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 Kirkintilloch, drivers must be at least 21 years old. Age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with potential extra charges for those under 25. A valid full driving licence relevant to the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of address. Valid payment details and a security deposit must be provided. Additional criteria may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be arranged via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Kirkintilloch office. A deposit may be needed to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. Prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT when applicable. We accept most major credit and debit cards, with transactions handled securely through trusted payment systems.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Kirkintilloch, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damages right away. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed by both parties. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as received, accounting for standard wear and tear. Any new damages will be evaluated and may result in charges. Ensure that the fuel level matches what was provided at the start of the rental, as refueling fees will apply if the tank is less than full. Late returns may incur additional fees, so please notify us promptly if you anticipate any delays. You will be accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges accrued during the rental period, along with a processing fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- Basic third-party insurance comes standard with all car rentals. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial risk. It is prudent to review these options thoroughly. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless additional coverage is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ depending on the booking type and the notice period given. For specific details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- Use of the vehicle for any illegal activities is strictly prohibited. Engaging in racing, off-roading, or similar dangerous practices is not allowed. Transporting hazardous materials is forbidden. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is not permitted. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is unacceptable. The vehicle must only be used for its intended purposes and within designated passenger and weight limits. Traveling beyond the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by Scottish law, Car Hire Kirkintilloch is not responsible for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our liability for any claims is capped at the total rental fees paid in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Local Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of Scotland. Any disputes will be handled exclusively by Scottish courts.
