Welcome to Motherwell Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental services. By engaging with us, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement presented during booking confirmation or at the time of vehicle collection. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance information, fees, and your responsibilities associated with the rental. In cases 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 from Car Hire in Motherwell, you must be at least 21 years of age, although age restrictions may vary depending on the type of vehicle. Drivers under 25 may incur additional fees. A valid full driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category and held for the duration specified in the Rental Agreement, is required. You will need to present valid identification and proof of your current address, along with valid payment details and a security deposit. Additional requirements may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
3. Reservations and Payments
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Motherwell office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally expected upon vehicle pickup. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment providers.
4. Picking Up and Dropping 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 created and must be signed by both parties. Upon return, the vehicle should be in the same condition as when collected, with allowances made for ordinary wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level as received; refueling charges will apply for any discrepancies. Late returns may incur additional fees, so please reach out to us if you anticipate a delay. You are responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges accrued during the rental period, along with a processing fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance. You can find complete coverage information and excess amounts in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial liability. It is important to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless additional insurance is purchased. Any damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the booking type and the notice period provided. For specific details, refer to your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Please be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited uses of the rental vehicle:
- Use of the vehicle for unlawful activities is prohibited. Engaging in racing, rallying, off-roading, or any dangerous maneuvers is not allowed. The transport of hazardous materials is forbidden. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized individuals to drive is unacceptable. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited. The vehicle must be used for intended purposes only. Passenger and weight limits must not be exceeded. Driving beyond the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed under English and Welsh law, Car Hire Motherwell is not responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claim will not exceed the total amount paid for your rental in the previous year. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Local Legal Framework
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be resolved exclusively in the courts of England and Wales.
10. Updates to Terms
