Welcome to Car Hire Edinburgh. These Terms of Service outline your use of our website carhireedinburgh.co.uk and our vehicle rental offerings. By utilizing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals in Edinburgh are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or when you collect your vehicle. This document outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance coverage, charges, and your obligations related to the rental. In case of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle in Edinburgh requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Edinburgh, you must be at least 21 years old, with specific age restrictions for certain vehicle types that may incur extra fees for drivers under 25. A valid full driving licence for the appropriate vehicle category is required, along with valid identification and proof of your current address. Payment details and a security deposit must also be provided. Additional requirements may be outlined in your Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, over the phone, or at our Edinburgh branch. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are usually required at the time of vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include applicable VAT. We accept major credit and debit cards, processed securely through trusted payment systems.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection in Edinburgh, it is your responsibility to thoroughly inspect the vehicle and report any pre-existing damage without delay. A vehicle condition report will be prepared and signed to document the state of the car. Please return the vehicle in the same condition as it was collected, taking into account normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged as necessary. Ensure that the vehicle is returned with the same fuel level as at collection; refueling fees will apply if it is returned with less fuel. Late returns could lead to additional charges, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate being late. You will be accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or other charges incurred during your rental, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Responsibility
- All car rentals in Edinburgh come with basic third-party insurance included. The specifics of coverage and any applicable excess amounts will be outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to minimize your financial liability. It's advisable to review these options thoroughly. You will be liable for any damage or loss up to the excess amount, unless you select additional insurance. Damage resulting from negligence or misuse remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies depend on the type of booking and the notice period provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
