Welcome to Car Hire Musselburgh. These Terms of Service outline your rights and responsibilities when accessing our website and using our vehicle rental services. By engaging with our offerings, you agree to comply with these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement that you will receive upon booking confirmation or when you pick up your vehicle. This agreement outlines the terms, conditions, insurance information, applicable charges, and your responsibilities for the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will be the authoritative document.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Musselburgh requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Musselburgh, drivers must be a minimum of 21 years old, although age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type. A valid full driving licence, appropriate for the vehicle category and held for the required duration, is necessary. Renters must also present valid identification, proof of current residence, and payment details, including a security deposit. Any further requirements will be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Musselburgh branch. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment along with a security deposit is generally required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (£) and include VAT where applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, ensuring secure transactions through trusted payment providers.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- Upon collecting your vehicle in Musselburgh, it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and must be signed by both parties. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as received, with allowances made for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may incur additional charges. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at the start of your rental to avoid refueling fees. Late returns are subject to extra charges, so please inform us promptly if you expect to be late. You will be liable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, plus an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Overview
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance, with specific coverage details and excess amounts outlined in the Rental Agreement. You may have the option to purchase additional insurance to further limit your financial liability. It is prudent to assess these options closely. You remain liable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess, unless additional insurance is opted for. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse falls under your responsibility, irrespective of insurance provisions.
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. Late cancellations or failure to show may incur additional charges.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited uses of the vehicle:
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities or purposes. This includes racing, off-road driving, or similar high-risk activities. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exceeding passenger or weight limits, or operating outside designated geographical boundaries without prior approval is also prohibited.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental termination and extra fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed by Scottish law, Car Hire Musselburgh shall not be responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business resulting from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claims will not exceed the rental amount paid in the last 12 months. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Local Legal Guidelines
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
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
