Welcome to Car Hire Linlithgow. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website carhirelinlithgow.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Car Hire Agreement
All car rentals in Linlithgow are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement, which you will receive upon booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your obligations for that rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Linlithgow requires:
- To rent a vehicle in Linlithgow, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions can differ based on the vehicle type, with potential extra charges for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is required, held for the minimum duration noted in the Rental Agreement. Additionally, you must provide valid identification and proof of your current address, along with payment information and a security deposit. Be prepared to meet any further specifications outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Bookings for car hire in Linlithgow can be completed via our website, over the phone, or directly at our local office. A deposit may be needed to confirm your reservation. Full payment along with a security deposit is generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. Prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with secure processing through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle in Linlithgow, please conduct a thorough inspection and promptly report any pre-existing damage. A vehicle condition report will be generated and signed at this time. It is your responsibility to return the vehicle in the same condition as received, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. The vehicle must be returned with the same fuel level as at the start of your rental; otherwise, refueling fees will apply. If you anticipate returning the vehicle late, contact us immediately, as late returns may incur extra charges. You are liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental period, in addition to an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Coverage
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Comprehensive coverage details, including excess amounts, are outlined in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to limit your financial responsibility. It is advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless otherwise covered by additional insurance. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of existing insurance.
6. Modifications and Cancellations
Cancellation and amendment policies differ depending on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For detailed information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges, impacting your overall rental cost.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rented Vehicle
- Use of the vehicle for any illegal activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any other dangerous driving practices. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is strictly forbidden. Operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle must be used for its intended purposes only, and adherence to passenger and weight limits is mandatory. Driving beyond the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed by law in Scotland, Car Hire Linlithgow will not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits or data, resulting from your use of our services. Our maximum liability for any claim will not exceed the total amount you paid for the rental in the last 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or for fraudulent activities.
9. Local Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of Scotland. Any disputes will fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of Scottish courts.
