Welcome to Car Hire Dumbarton. These Terms of Service outline the rules for using our website carhiredumbarton.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By utilizing 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 document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, 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 with us requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Dumbarton, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, and additional fees may apply for drivers under 25. You need a valid, full driving license that meets the minimum holding period outlined in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of your current address are required, along with payment details and a security deposit. Please review the Rental Agreement for any other specific requirements.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be completed via our website, by phone, or at our Dumbarton office. A booking deposit may be necessary to confirm your reservation. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required upon vehicle collection. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT when applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Dumbarton Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Dumbarton, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be generated and must be signed by you. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, considering normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur charges. Ensure that the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; otherwise, refueling fees will apply. If you anticipate returning the vehicle late, please contact us as soon as possible, as late returns may result in additional fees. You will be held accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that occur during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Details
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. Comprehensive coverage details, including excess amounts, will be outlined in your Rental Agreement. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to lower your financial liability. It's advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional coverage is obtained. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will be your responsibility, irrespective 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 Uses of the Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities. Prohibited uses include racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other dangerous driving. Transporting hazardous materials is also not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is prohibited. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Additionally, the vehicle should only be used for its intended purpose, and must not exceed passenger or weight limits. Driving outside designated geographical areas requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Dumbarton is not responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, related to your use of our services. Our total liability for any claim is capped at the amount you paid for the rental in the previous 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence, or for fraudulent actions.
9. Local Regulations
These Terms are governed by the laws of Scotland. Any disputes will be resolved exclusively within the jurisdiction of Scottish courts.
