Welcome to Rutherglen Car Hire. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By engaging with us, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Rutherglen are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement that 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 related to 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 Rutherglen requires:
- To rent a vehicle through Car Hire in Rutherglen, you must be at least 21 years old. Age restrictions may differ based on the specific vehicle, and drivers under 25 may incur extra fees. A valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Payment information and a security deposit must also be provided, along with any other conditions outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Rutherglen office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where relevant. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
4. Car Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, accounting only for standard wear and tear. Any new damage identified upon return will be evaluated and may result in additional charges. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same level of fuel as at collection; refueling fees will apply for returns with lower fuel levels. Late returns may incur extra charges, so please notify us promptly if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that occur during your rental period, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Details
- All rentals in Rutherglen come with basic third-party insurance included. Detailed coverage information and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial exposure. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional insurance is obtained. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will be your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ depending on the type of booking and the amount of notice provided. For specific information, please check your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows could incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited uses of the vehicle:
- Use of the vehicle for illegal activities is strictly prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other dangerous driving. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is prohibited. Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. Activities for which the vehicle is unsuitable are not permitted, and exceeding passenger or weight limits is prohibited. Operating the vehicle outside the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Rutherglen is not responsible for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our maximum liability for any claim 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 due to negligence or fraud.
9. Local Regulations
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the relevant courts.
10. Amendments 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 your acceptance of the revised Terms.
