Welcome to Car Hire Dundee. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website carhiredundee.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals come with a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines important terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Requirements for Vehicle Rental
- To rent a vehicle in Dundee, drivers must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, with extra charges applicable for those under 25. A valid full driving licence, held for the minimum duration outlined in the Rental Agreement, is required. Additionally, renters need to present valid identification, proof of current address, and payment information, including a security deposit. Compliance with any further requirements stated in the Rental Agreement is necessary.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Dundee office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. The total payment and security deposit are usually required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are quoted 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
- At the time of collection in Dundee, 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 signed by both parties. You are expected to return the vehicle in the same condition as when it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated, and applicable charges will be applied. The vehicle should be returned with the same fuel level as when collected; refueling fees will be incurred if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may result in additional charges, so please contact us as soon as possible if you anticipate returning the vehicle late. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges that arise during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
5. Insurance and Responsibility
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. Full details, including excess amounts, are outlined in the Rental Agreement. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance for lower financial liability. Please review these options closely. You are liable for damage or loss up to the excess amount unless you have additional coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance status.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise details, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show up may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or any activities that pose a safety risk is prohibited. Transporting hazardous materials or substances is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is prohibited. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should only be used for its intended purposes and within the specified passenger and weight limits. Operating the vehicle outside the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms can lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by law in Scotland, Car Hire Dundee will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, that may result from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims is capped at the total amount you paid for the rental in the past year. This limitation does not apply to liability for personal injury or death resulting from negligence, or for fraudulent actions.
Dundee Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the relevant courts in this region.
10. Terms Updates
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 acceptance of the revised Terms.
