Kilwinning Car Hire 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 specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, charges, and your responsibilities for the rental. In case of any inconsistencies, the Rental Agreement prevails over these Terms.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Kilwinning, drivers must be a minimum of 21 years old, although restrictions may apply depending on the vehicle type, with extra fees for those under 25. A valid driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category, is required, along with identification and proof of current address. Additionally, valid payment information and a security deposit must be provided, as well as any other requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be arranged via our website, by phone, or at our Kilwinning office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection in Kilwinning, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and must be signed by both parties. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged appropriately. The vehicle should also be returned with the same fuel level as when it was collected; refueling charges will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur extra charges, so please contact us as soon as possible if a delay is anticipated. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or fees incurred during your rental, along with an administration fee.
5. Coverage and Responsibility
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. You will find full coverage details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to limit your financial exposure. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless covered by additional insurance. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse is your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. Please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement for precise information. Late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rented Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for illegal activities, including racing, off-roading, or any dangerous driving practices. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting to others or allowing unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Ensure the vehicle is used according to its design and within agreed passenger and weight limits. Driving outside specified geographical areas requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
8. Liability Limits
To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law in Kilwinning, Car Hire disclaims responsibility for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits or data, resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the rental amount paid in the past year. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Applicable Law in Kilwinning
