Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Coatbridge will be 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 information, applicable charges, and your responsibilities during 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 in Coatbridge:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Coatbridge, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. A valid, full driving licence relevant to the vehicle category is required, held for the duration outlined in the Rental Agreement. You will need to present valid identification and proof of your current address, as well as provide payment information and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be specified in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payments
- Reservations can be arranged via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Coatbridge office. A booking deposit may be necessary to finalize your reservation. The total payment along with a security deposit is generally required upon vehicle pickup. All rates are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT when applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Coatbridge, 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 both parties. The vehicle should be returned in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. Ensure that the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as received; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may result in additional charges, so please contact us as soon as possible if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. You will find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to help lower your financial liability. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You are liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional coverage applies. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance policies.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for illegal activities, including racing or off-roading. It is prohibited to transport hazardous materials or to sub-let the vehicle to others. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Users must adhere to passenger and weight limits and cannot operate the vehicle outside of the agreed geographical boundaries without prior consent.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
