Welcome to Greenock Car Hire. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website carhiregreenock.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By accessing 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 when collecting your vehicle. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, associated charges, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In cases of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will take priority.
Eligibility Criteria
Requirements for Vehicle Rental
- To hire a vehicle in Greenock, you must be at least 21 years old, though age limits may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra fees applicable for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence relevant to the vehicle category is required, held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. You must present valid identification and proof of your current address, along with payment details and a security deposit. Additional criteria may also be specified in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Greenock office. A deposit may be needed to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally collected at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as necessary. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Greenock, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed by both parties. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as it was when collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and fees will apply as necessary. The vehicle must also be returned with the same fuel level as collected; refueling charges will be incurred if the tank is not adequately filled. Late returns could result in additional fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that occur during the rental period, in addition to an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. You can find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to limit your financial liability, so reviewing these is beneficial. You are accountable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, except when covered by extra insurance. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains 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. For precise 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 prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in any hazardous driving. Transporting dangerous materials is also not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is forbidden. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly banned. Vehicles must be used for their intended purposes only, adhering to passenger and weight limits. Operating the vehicle outside designated geographical areas requires prior authorization.
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 in Greenock is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the amount paid for the rental in the last 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury arising from negligence, or for fraud.
9. Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be resolved exclusively in the relevant courts of England and Wales.
Changes to Terms of Service
We may update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
