Terms & Conditions
Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before confirming your booking. We’ve tried to make them short and as easy to read and understand as possible. They apply only where a booking is made through a third party which has sub-contracted its obligations to us, or which acts as our agent (in both cases referred to as “the Principal”), not to direct bookings.
1. Your rights and responsibilities:
a) Please refer to the email you receive from the Principal acknowledging your booking for details of collection and delivery procedures. It is important that you follow these closely. If in doubt call 01293 65 22 99 for assistance.
b) Make sure your vehicle is in a roadworthy, safe and legal condition with full insurance, road tax and MOT.
c) On arrival at our car park, the designated airport reception point, or your hotel (as the case may be) you must:
remove your luggage and any personal possessions which you may need for your trip from your vehicle. Your personal possessions and luggage are your responsibility at all times.
present your email confirmation (or quote your booking reference) to our representative (or hotel reception), check and sign our booking confirmation form and hand over your vehicle keys. Please remove house keys etc. Tell us about any non-standard vehicle immobiliser or security features.
d) On your return to the UK please follow the procedures referred to in paragraph 1 a) above. Then, once you have made contact with our representative, you must:
produce your copy of the booking confirmation form or the bar-coded card you were given when your car was left with us. You may be asked for proof of identity. We may refuse to hand over the vehicle if you can not establish to our reasonable satisfaction that you are entitled to it.
pay any supplementary parking charge due (see 2 b) below).
inspect your vehicle and report any damage to our representative before you leave. Failure to do so may prejudice subsequent claims.
2. Our rights and responsibilities:
a) We will take all reasonable care of your vehicle for the period you have booked and paid for, starting from when you give us your keys
b) If you park for longer than the period you have booked for, we will charge you for the extra days at the full daily price that applies at the time and if you have not claimed your vehicle within a reasonable time after the end of your booked period or contacted us to agree a new arrangement we can regard your vehicle as having been abandoned. We may then make arrangements for its disposal to cover our costs (but we will take reasonable steps to contact you before doing so) in accordance with the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977. There are no refunds for early returns.
c) We may retain your vehicle until you have paid the full amount due.
d) Although we will generally keep your car at the same secure compound for the duration of the booking period we may move vehicles if we need to and reserve the right to move vehicles to our overflow car parks elsewhere in the vicinity. All our drivers are fully insured against any damage which may be caused to your vehicle on the public highway. Whilst your vehicle is in any of our compounds however, you must rely on your own vehicle insurance policy.
e) Notwithstanding paragraph 2 d) above, should we accept liability for any damage to your vehicle we reserve the right to have the repairs undertaken by our own contractors.
3. We are not responsible for the following;
a) Insurance cover for you, your vehicle, or its contents, except for your vehicle when being driven by our drivers on the public highway.
b) Damage to your vehicle, including windscreens, wing mirrors, aerials, punctures, wheel scuffs, chip marks, minor scratches and dents, mechanical or electrical failure, or other events beyond our control, or any loss or theft of or damage to the vehicle’s contents unless such damage loss or theft arises as a result of our failure to meet our contractual obligations to you.
c) Matters that are covered by your car, holiday, household, motor or any other more specific insurance. You must look to that cover for protection in the first instance.
d) The direct or indirect consequences of force majeure, terrorism, catastrophe, adverse weather, industrial action, cancellation of flights, loss of baggage, traffic conditions, vandalism, failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to you (whether contractual statutory or otherwise) or criminal activity of any description.
e) Any natural deterioration in the vehicle’s condition while it is with us.
f) Property left unattended in your vehicle, on our site or in courtesy vehicles and trailers.
g) Any consequential (indirect) losses including but not limited to the cost of car hire hotels meals or other expenses incurred by you.
h) Delays due to wrong information on the booking form.
Despite the above, we will always accept liability for death or injury caused by our negligence.
If we are negligent or otherwise in breach of our obligations to you then we will accept liability only for the loss or damage which flows directly from that negligence or breach and which is a reasonably foreseeable consequence of it. The terms and conditions above do not affect this or your rights and remedies in the event of any deliberate act or omission by any member of our staff.
