Welcome to Car Hire Fort William. These Terms of Service outline the guidelines for using our website carhirefortwilliam.co.uk and our vehicle rental services. By accessing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All vehicle rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement provided at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pick-up. This document outlines specific terms, conditions, insurance information, associated charges, and your obligations for the rental period. In the event of any discrepancies between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will prevail.
Eligibility Criteria
Renting a vehicle requires:
- To rent a vehicle from Car Hire in Fort William, you must be at least 21 years old, though age restrictions may differ based on the vehicle type, and extra fees may apply for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Payment information and a security deposit must also be provided. Additional requirements may be outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Options
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Fort William office. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Complete payment, along with a security deposit, is generally 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, ensuring secure processing through trusted payment providers.
4. Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of vehicle collection in Fort William, 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 signed by both parties. The vehicle must be returned in the same condition as it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and charged accordingly. Please return the vehicle with the same level of fuel as when it was picked up; refueling charges will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns may result in extra fees, so please inform us as soon as possible if you anticipate being late. You will also be accountable for any parking fines, traffic violations, or charges incurred during your rental period, along with an administration fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All car rentals come with basic third-party insurance included. You can find comprehensive coverage details and excess amounts outlined in your Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be available to further limit your financial liability, so it is wise to review them thoroughly. You will be held accountable for any damage or loss up to the insurance excess amount unless you opt for additional coverage. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, regardless of insurance.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice provided. For precise information, please consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional fees.
7. Restricted Activities
Prohibited Uses of the Vehicle
- The vehicle must not be used for any unlawful activities. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or other dangerous maneuvers. Transporting hazardous materials is prohibited. Sub-letting the vehicle or allowing unauthorized drivers is not allowed. Operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden. Avoid using the vehicle for purposes it was not intended for, exceeding passenger or weight limits, or driving beyond the agreed geographical boundaries without prior authorization.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and fees.
8. Liability Restrictions
To the fullest extent allowed by English and Welsh law, Car Hire Fort William is not responsible for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, or business, resulting from your use of our services.
