When you sign the form over the page you accept the conditions of the rental agreement listed in this document. Please read this agreement carefully. If there is anything you do not agree with, please ask any member of staff at the rental location from which the vehicle is rented.
(a) You will have the vehicle for the rental period shown in the agreement. We may agree to extend this rental period but the rental may never exceed 30 days. If you do not bring the vehicle back on time you are breaking the conditions of this agreement. We can charge you for every day or part day you have the vehicle after you should have returned it to us. We will charge you the daily rate quoted at the rental location until we get the vehicle back.
(b) Where the hire is extended as agreed by both parties this Agreement will update and form an updated agreement herein.
(a) You must look after the vehicle and keys to the vehicle. You must always lock the vehicle when you are not using it and use any security device fitted in or supplied with the vehicle. You must always protect the vehicle against bad weather which can cause damage. You must make sure that you use the correct fuel.
(b) You are responsible for any damage to the roof or upper part of the vehicle caused by hitting low level objects, such as bridges or low branches.
(c) You must not sell, rent, loan or dispose of the vehicle or any of its parts. You must not give anyone any legal rights over the vehicle.
(d) You must not let anyone work on the vehicle without our permission. If we do not give you permission, we will only give you a refund if you produce a receipt for the work.
(e) You must let us know as soon as you become aware of a defect to the vehicle.
(f) You must bring the vehicle back to the place where we agreed during the opening hours displayed at the rental location. One of our staff must see the vehicle to check that it is in good condition. Where we have agreed that you may return the vehicle outside of business hours, you will remain responsible for the vehicle and its condition until it is re-inspected by a member of staff.
(g) You will have to pay for repairs if:
(h) You must check before you bring back the vehicle that you have not left any personal belongings in the vehicle.
We have maintained the vehicle to at least the manufacturer's recommended standard. We undertake that the vehicle is roadworthy and suitable for renting at the start of the rental period. In addition, if you are not renting the vehicle for business purposes, we are responsible if we break the conditions of the rental agreement in the following ways: the vehicle does not correspond to our description of it; the vehicle is not of the quality that you would be entitled to expect from a rental vehicle; the vehicle is not fit to drive; we do not have the right legally to rent out the vehicle.
We are responsible if someone is injured or dies as a result of our negligence. We are not responsible for any indirect or unforeseeable loss or damage (indirect losses are the losses which happen as a side effect of the main loss or damage). Foreseeable losses are the losses arising directly from, for example, the vehicle breaking down (such as the cost of repairing the vehicle or arranging other transport). You or we may not foresee other losses and so, if you want to be able to claim for such losses, we recommend that you arrange insurance.
We are only responsible for property in the vehicle if the loss or damage is a result of our negligence.
The vehicle must only be driven by the person named overleaf, or by anyone we authorise in writing. Anyone driving the vehicle must have a full, valid driving licence and not be prohibited by law from holding or obtaining such licence.
You or any authorised driver must not do any of the following:
We work out our charges using our current price list. As shown overleaf, you will pay the following charges:
If we arrange separate insurance, we will give you separate information on the insurance cover and any restrictions which may apply. Otherwise, the condition of our Insurance/Damage Protection Programme (including any waivers of liability) will apply, as indicated by your acceptance of them by ticking the appropriate box over the page.
You may arrange your own insurance with our agreement by ticking or initialling the appropriate box over the page for the full duration of the rental as long as you can prove that this insurance is valid and have signed confirmation overleaf...
If you have an accident you must not admit responsibility. You should get the names and addresses of everyone involved, including witnesses. You should also make the vehicle secure, tell the Police straight away if anyone is injured or there is a disagreement over who is responsible and call our nearest office straight away. You must then fill in our accident report form and send it to the rental company's address overleaf.
You agree that we may use any information you have given us to carry out our own market research. If you break the agreement we can give the information to credit reference agencies, the DVLA, debt collectors and any other relevant organisation. We can also give this information to the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA), who can pass it on to any of its members for any purpose stated in the Data Protection Act 1984.
(a) If you are a consumer we will end this agreement straight away if we find out that your goods have been taken away from you to pay off your debts, or a receiving order is made against you. We will also end this agreement if you do not meet any of the conditions of this agreement.
(b) If you are a company, we will end this agreement straight away if: you go into liquidation, you call a meeting of creditors, we find out that your goods have been taken away from you until you pay off your debts, or you do not meet any of the conditions of the agreement.
(c) If we end the agreement it will not affect our right to receive any money we are owed under the conditions of the agreement. We can also claim extra costs from you if you do not meet any of the conditions of this agreement. We can repossess the vehicle and charge you if we do this.
This agreement is governed by the laws of the country in which it is signed. Any dispute may be submitted to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that country. In certain cases the renting company reserves the right to appoint an Arbitrator.
This agreement is part of those overleaf.
