Welcome to Car Hire Musselburgh. 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 require a Rental Agreement that will be provided at the time of booking confirmation or when you collect your vehicle. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance provisions, charges, and your responsibilities related to the rental. In case 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 Musselburgh, drivers must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on vehicle type, with potential extra fees for those under 25. A valid driving licence appropriate for the vehicle category is required, along with proof of identity and current address. Valid payment details and a security deposit must also be provided, alongside any other requirements listed in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Details
- Reservations can be made via our website, by telephone, or directly at our Musselburgh office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment, along with a security deposit, is generally required upon 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 vehicle collection in Musselburgh, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be completed and signed to document the state of the vehicle. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as received, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may result in additional charges. Ensure the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling charges will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns can incur extra fees, so please contact us promptly if you anticipate a delay. You will be responsible for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges that arise during the rental period, along with an associated administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. Full details regarding coverage and excess amounts can be found in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to minimize your financial liability, and we recommend reviewing them thoroughly. You remain responsible for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless additional insurance is purchased. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse is your responsibility, irrespective of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur fees, so it's advisable to review these details prior to finalizing your plans.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Vehicle Uses
- The vehicle must not be used for any illegal activities. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or engaging in any dangerous driving practices. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Vehicles should only be used for their intended purposes and must not exceed passenger or weight limits. Additionally, driving outside of the agreed geographical boundaries requires prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent allowed by Scottish law, Car Hire Musselburgh will not be 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 claims will not exceed the rental amount paid in the previous 12 months. This does not affect our 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. Any disputes will be resolved exclusively in the courts of England and Wales.
