Welcome to Oban Car Hire. These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and vehicle rental offerings. By utilizing our services, you agree to these terms.
Rental Terms
All car rentals are governed by a comprehensive Rental Agreement given at the time of booking confirmation or vehicle pickup. This agreement outlines the specific terms, conditions, insurance provisions, fees, 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
Requirements for Vehicle Rental
- To hire a vehicle from Oban Car Hire, you must be at least 21 years old, although age restrictions may vary depending on the vehicle type, with potential extra fees for drivers under 25. A valid driving licence suitable for the vehicle category is required, along with identification and proof of your current address. Valid payment information and a security deposit are also necessary. Be sure to meet any further requirements outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Booking and Payment Process
- Reservations can be made via our website, by phone, or directly at our Oban location. A deposit may be necessary to confirm your booking. Full payment and a security deposit are generally required upon vehicle pickup. All prices are listed in British Pounds (£) and include VAT as applicable. We accept major credit and debit cards, with transactions handled securely by trusted payment processors.
Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off
- At the time of collection, you are required to examine the vehicle thoroughly and report any existing damage right away. A vehicle condition report will be created and signed by both parties. When returning the vehicle, it should be in the same condition as when it was collected, accounting for normal wear and tear. Any new damage will be evaluated and may result in additional charges. Please return the vehicle with the same amount of fuel as when you picked it up; refueling fees will apply if the fuel level is lower. Late returns could incur extra fees, so please notify us immediately if you expect to return the vehicle later than agreed. You will be responsible for any parking tickets, traffic violations, or charges that arise during your rental period, along with an administrative fee.
Insurance and Liability Terms
- All rentals include basic third-party insurance. Comprehensive coverage information and excess details can be found in the Rental Agreement. Additional insurance options may be offered to lower your financial responsibility. It is beneficial to review these options. You will remain liable for damages or losses up to the insurance excess amount, except when additional insurance applies. Any damage resulting from negligence, misuse, or violation of these Terms remains your responsibility, irrespective of your insurance coverage.
Cancellation and Modifications
Cancellation and amendment policies differ based on the type of booking and the notice given. For specific information, consult your booking confirmation or Rental Agreement. Please be aware that late cancellations or no-shows may incur additional charges.
Prohibited Activities
Prohibited Uses of Rental Vehicle
- Use of the vehicle for any unlawful activities is prohibited. This includes racing, rallying, off-roading, or any activities that pose a risk to safety. Transporting hazardous materials is not allowed. Sub-letting the vehicle or permitting unauthorized drivers is strictly forbidden. Operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is unacceptable. The vehicle should not be used for purposes it was not intended for, nor should passenger or weight limits be exceeded. Driving outside designated geographical boundaries requires prior approval.
Breach of these terms may lead to rental cancellation and extra fees.
Liability Limitations
To the fullest extent permitted by English and Welsh law, Oban Car Hire will 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 liability for any claims is limited to the total amount paid for the rental in the past 12 months. This limitation does not apply to claims regarding death or personal injury due to negligence or fraud.
9. Applicable Law
These Terms are regulated by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be addressed exclusively in their courts.
