Welcome to Car Hire Bo'ness. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals 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 coverage, applicable charges, and your responsibilities for the rental. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Rental Requirements for Bo'ness
- To hire a vehicle in Bo'ness, you must be at least 21 years old, although some vehicles may have different age requirements, with extra fees for drivers under 25. You need a valid full driving licence suitable for the vehicle category, held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. Valid identification and proof of your current address are required, along with payment information and a security deposit. Additional criteria may be specified in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be arranged via our website, over the phone, or directly at our Bo'ness office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Payment in full, along with a security deposit, is generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through established payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Bo'ness, it is your responsibility to inspect the vehicle thoroughly 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 collected, allowing for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and fees may apply. The vehicle should also be returned with the same fuel level as when collected; refueling charges will be incurred if the fuel level is lower. Please be aware that late returns may result in additional fees, so notify us as soon as possible if you expect a delay. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that occur during your rental, plus an administration fee.
Insurance and Responsibility
- Basic third-party insurance is included with each vehicle rental in Bo'ness. Details regarding coverage and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available, potentially lowering your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You remain accountable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount unless additional insurance is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms is your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on your booking type and the notice period provided. For precise information, 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 Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in other risky behaviors. Transporting hazardous materials or allowing unauthorized individuals to operate the vehicle is prohibited. Driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. Additionally, the vehicle should only be used for its intended purpose, and all passenger and weight limits must be observed. Traveling outside the designated geographical areas requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed by relevant law, Car Hire Bo'ness is not responsible for any 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 will not exceed the total amount you paid for rental services 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 Scotland. Any disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of Scottish courts.
