Welcome to Car Hire East Calder. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to abide by these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which will be provided upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, 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 in East Calder requires:
- To hire a vehicle in East Calder, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions can differ depending on the vehicle type, with extra fees applying for drivers under 25. A valid full driving license suitable for the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. You will also need to provide valid payment details and a security deposit, in addition to meeting any other conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be arranged via our website, over the phone, or directly at our East Calder office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required at the time of vehicle pick-up. All charges are in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle in East Calder, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed to document the state of the car. Please return the vehicle in the same condition, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. Ensure that the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling charges will apply if the tank is less than full. Late returns may attract additional fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate delays. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, along with an associated administration fee.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- Basic third-party insurance is included in all Car Hire rentals in East Calder. Full coverage specifics and excess amounts are outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to help limit your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for damage or loss up to the insurance excess unless you have opted for additional coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Please be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in hazardous driving. Transporting dangerous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should only be used for its intended purposes and must not exceed passenger or weight limits. Additionally, driving outside the specified geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and fees.
