Welcome to Car Hire East Kilbride. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website and vehicle rental options. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in East Kilbride are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or when you collect your vehicle. This agreement outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, fees, and your obligations for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in East Kilbride requires:
- To rent a vehicle in East Kilbride, you must be at least 21 years old, though specific age restrictions can apply based on the vehicle type. Drivers under 25 may incur additional fees. A valid full driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category, is required, along with valid identification and proof of current address. You will also need to provide valid payment information and a security deposit, as well as meet any further requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be completed via our website, by phone, or directly at our East Kilbride office. To confirm your booking, a deposit may be necessary. The remaining balance and a security deposit are 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, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection, you are required to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be filled out and signed by both parties. It is your responsibility to return the vehicle in the same condition as when you received it, allowing for standard wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may result in additional charges. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as it was provided; refueling charges will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns may incur extra fees, so please notify us if a delay is anticipated. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, in addition to an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability in East Kilbride
- All car rentals include basic third-party insurance. For complete coverage information and details about excess amounts, please refer to your Rental Agreement. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to limit your financial liability. It is important to review these options thoroughly. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess unless additional coverage is obtained. Damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms will be your responsibility, regardless of existing insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For specific information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities, including racing, rallying, or off-roading. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. The vehicle should only be used for its intended purposes, and drivers must adhere to passenger and weight limits. Operating the vehicle outside designated geographical areas requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
