on-line booking form and clicking the BOOK NOW button, we agree to use all

reasonable efforts to make a vehicle from the Vehicle Group you have selected

available for you to hire for the Rental Period. In the unlikely event that we are not

able to make a vehicle from that particular Vehicle Group available, we will provide

you with an alternative vehicle of equivalent similar specification within a higher

(a) Until the Contract is formed as specified in clause 2.4 below, our only obligation

to you is in respect of the Reservation;

car rental business (Partner Organisation) with which we have a referral

arrangement in place. In this case, we are acting as an agent for that Partner

Organisation and once we have passed your reservation over to them, this means

(a) we have no further legal obligations or liability to you

(b) the Rental Agreement for the hire of the Vehicle will be between you and the

Partner Organisation and will be made on the applicable rental terms and

conditions of that Partner Organisation and you will need to agree and accept

those applicable rental terms and conditions before any contract for rental

2.4 The Contract is only formed when we allow you to take possession of the keys to the

Vehicle. We will not do so unless and until you come to collect a Vehicle from us (or

where we deliver the Vehicle to you) and you provide the Required Documents, a

valid deposit or credit card approval has been made on your payment card, you have

agreed the Vehicle Condition Report and we are satisfied that you meet our rental

criteria and these Conditions.

3 Booking and pre-paid tariffs

3.1 When collecting a Vehicle from us, please bring your reservation number or booking

confirmation email with you wherever possible so that we can process your request

to hire a Vehicle.

3.2 Please note that in the unlikely event we are unable to provide you with a Vehicle,

your sole remedy will be to obtain a refund of any Pre-Paid Amount paid by you to

us.

3.3 If you have selected our pre-paid tariff option when making your Booking, you are

agreeing to pay us full Rental Fees at the time of Booking and prior, to collecting /

taking delivery of the Vehicle, and the Security Deposit at the time of collection/taking

delivery of the Vehicle from us.

3.4 The Booking may be changed up to 48 hours before the commencement of the

scheduled Rental Period (Booking Change) by telephoning our reservations team

on 07956714979. Where you request to make a Booking Change, and the

Booking Change increases the Rental Fees payable by you we will not charge you

a rebooking fee. Where the Booking Change means that your Rental Fees decrease

we reserve the right to charge you a rebooking fee of £29,99 incl. VAT. You

acknowledge that the Rental Fees may increase if you make changes to the Vehicle

Group or the delivery collection point, which will be charged at the current rate and

that further charges will apply if the Rental Period is extended (in relation to which

see clauses 7 and 8)

3.5 Where you wish to cancel a Booking (as opposed to make a Booking Change), you

may do this at any time prior to the scheduled commencement of the Rental Period

(Booking Cancellation). In the event of a Booking Cancellation (where you have

selected the pre-paid tariff option) and your Rental Period is for more than three

days, then the first three days are non-refundable and the remaining Rental Fees will

be refunded to you. In the event that your Rental Period is less than three days then

you are not entitled to a refund of the Rental Fees.

3.6 All other Booking Cancellations which are not related to bookings made using the

pre-paid tariff, may be made without charge. If you do not cancel your Reservation

and then fail to show up to collect the Vehicle from the agreed location at the agreed

time, we reserve the right to charge the pre-paid tariff in full and you shall not be

entitled to any refund.

4 Rental fees, deposits and payment

4.1 You must bring the payment card used to make your Booking. When you place a

Booking, we use your payment card as a form of identity check to ensure we give

the Vehicle to the person who made the Booking. If you don’t have the payment card

used to make the Booking with you, we will still rent to you if we have a vehicle

available and, you meet all of our other requirements including, but not limited to,

presentation of another payment card in your name and the Required Documents.

However, you will have to pay the “pay at location” prices available on the day as

this will be treated as a new rental.

4.2 You must use the original card to make any additional payments or preauthorisations relating to the Reservation.

4.3 We may require a security deposit/approval on your payment card. The amount of

the deposit may vary depending on the type of booking, Vehicle Group or the method

of payment.

4.4 Before we let you rent a Vehicle, you need to allow us to take a credit card approval

or a debit card deposit. You will need to give us an approved payment card that’s in

your name and has enough funds available on it to allow us to do so.

4.5 The approval amount for credit cards is determined by the vehicle group. The

approval amount will not be debited from your account immediately, however, it will

be held on your account until the final amount of Rental Fees have been paid to us.

When the Vehicle is returned, the Rental Fees will be charged to the credit card

provided to us, unless you present another form of payment.

Compact & Premium: £200.00

Performance: £500.00

4.6 The deposit on a debit card is determined by the vehicle group. The minimum amount

will be the rental charge + £200. The deposit amount will be immediately debited

from your bank account and will be held by us until the Rental Agreement is

terminated and all Rental Fees have been paid to us. When the Vehicle is returned,

any additional Rental Fees will be charged to the debit card provided to us, unless

you present another form of payment.

4.7 The rental charge (plus any other charges agreed such as, e.g. exemptions from

liability, delivery charges, airport charges, etc.) plus value added tax in the statutory

amount applicable from time to time must, as a matter of principle, be paid in full for

the agreed rental period, i.e. if the vehicle is collected late or returned early there

shall be no refund.

4.8 The Rental Fees are calculated based on:

(a) your start and end dates and times;

(b) rental location(s);

(d) the type of vehicle stated on your Rental Agreement.

4.9 Unless otherwise stated, the Rental Fees include the cost of vehicle tax, local taxes,

third party liability insurance, daily rental charge, collision damage waiver with

excess breakdown assistance and, limited/unlimited mileage (depending on the

application rate).

4.10 You must pay a mileage charge (calculated in accordance with our then current

rates) if you exceed any mileage limitation set out in the Rental Agreement.

4.11 You may be liable for additional charges at the end of the Rental Period following

our inspection of the Vehicle where you have breached the terms of this Rental

Agreement and the condition of the Vehicle is required to be remedied by

professional cleaning or valeting services. Where the condition of the Vehicle cannot

be remedied by professional cleaning or valeting services then we shall be entitled

to treat this as damage to the Vehicle and the terms of Condition 14 shall apply.

4.12 For commercial vehicles fitted with an AdBlue® tank, there will be a service fee

based on the number of miles driven. This service fee will be charged at £0.01 per

mile. The service fee will be waivered if the AdBlue® is returned full and a receipt for

the proof of purchase is shown.

4.13 We accept the following payment cards: American Express; Visa; EuroCard /

MasterCard; Diners Club; JCB; Discovery Card; Maestro. We do not accept pre-paid

debit cards or Visa Electron cards. Debit cards are accepted for bookings of all

Vehicle catergory. The payment card must be valid for a

minimum of 30 days after the vehicle return date.

4.14 For any voucher bookings you must present the original valid voucher together with

a valid credit card for any additional charges that are not covered by the voucher.

Please note if the amount you have already paid is less than the Rental Fees, you

will need to pay the difference. If you have already paid more than the cost of the

Rental Fees, you will not get a refund, but if you wish to buy Optional Extras from us

at the time of making a Booking, you can use the difference towards the cost of these

items.

4.15 If you are late making payment, we will charge you, without further notice, interest

on the amount that is overdue. Interest is calculated at 4 percent per year above the

base lending rate of the Bank of England. We will also charge you for any reasonable

costs incurred by us whilst we attempt to recover payment from you (including

reasonable legal costs).

4.16 You agree that we can send invoices electronically to the designated invoice

recipient. We will send an electronic invoice to the e-mail address which you have

provided. You can request the termination of electronic invoices at any time. In this

case, we will issue paper based invoicing. You are obliged to bear the additional

costs for the paper-based consignment of the invoice and for the postage in this

case.

4.17 You are accountable for any malfunctions of the receiving devices or any other

circumstances that hinder access to the invoices. An invoice is received as soon as

it enters your domain. If we send a note and you are able to retrieve the invoice on

your own accord, or if we make the invoice available for retrieval, then the invoice is

received when it was retrieved by you. You are accountable for retrieving the invoices

at reasonable intervals.

4.18 If an invoice is not received or cannot be received, you must notify us immediately.

In this case, we will re-send a copy of the invoice and mark it as a copy. If the

malfunction and the possibility of transfer cannot be resolved promptly, we may send

paper invoices until the malfunction has been resolved. We will bear the costs for the

consignment of paper invoices in this case. If we provide you with login data, a user

name or password then unauthorised access must be prevented and the data kept

strictly confidential. In the event that you discover unauthorised persons may have

gained access to this information, then you must notify us immediately.

4.19 The Rental Agreement will stipulate a specific station to which the Vehicle must be

returned at the end of the Rental Period. The rental will be considered one-way if the

Rental Agreement stipulates a return to a station different from the one from where

the Vehicle was collected. If the Vehicle is delivered to a station other than the one

stipulated in the one-way Rental Agreement, you will be charged a flexible location

charge of GBP 19,99 (incl. VAT). If the Vehicle is delivered to a station other than

the one stipulated in the return trip Rental Agreement (i.e. where the collection and

return stations are identical), you will be charged a flexible location charge of GBP

19.99 (incl. VAT) and the charge for a one-way rental as indicated on price list

applicable at the time the Rental Period started.

5 Delivery and Pick-up Service

pick-up location and the Delivery Window. This service operates within branch

recommended standards and will be roadworthy at pick-up.

8.2 Any existing damage to the Vehicle will be stated on the Rental Agreement or, where

you have requested one, the Vehicle Condition Report.

where you have requested one, the Vehicle Condition Report. You will be

responsible and liable for any damage to the Vehicle which was not recorded on the

Vehicle Condition Report.

9 Returning the vehicle and condition on return

9.1 We will inspect the Vehicle on its return for any damage or changes in condition from

that which was described in the Vehicle Condition Report at the time of the Vehicle

pick up or which you notified to us in accordance with the provisions in clause 8. If

you are unable or refuse to complete the inspection with us, we will inspect the

Vehicle in your absence and notify you of our findings as per clause 9.10 and include

any relevant photographs of such damage we find in our inspection for you to review.

9.2 Some damage may not be apparent at the post-rental inspection, such as

mechanical damage (for example in areas such as the engine, fuel tank or clutch) or

damage hidden by adverse light or weather conditions. If we find any such damage

we will notify you with evidence of the same.

9.3 The vehicle should be returned in a similar condition of cleanliness to which it was

received. Where additional time is required to prepare the vehicle back to a rentable

condition due to, including but not exclusive of strong odours, pet hairs, sand, bodily

fluids, dirt or stubborn stains, an additional charge of £50.00 will apply.

9.4 You should use all reasonable efforts to return the Vehicle to us during our Opening

Hours. If we agree that you are able to return the Vehicle and any Optional Extras

outside of our opening hours, this will be on the condition that you will remain liable

for any damage caused to the Vehicle for up to four Business Hours until one of our

employees takes possession of the Vehicle. You must:

(a) leave any Optional Extras in the boot or trunk;

(b) secure the Vehicle near the return location; and

where the Vehicle is at our customer service number on 07956714979 (as

9.5 By taking possession of the keys to the Vehicle, you agree to return the Vehicle to

us at the branch specified in the Rental Agreement. If the Vehicle is returned to an

alternative location, you will be liable for any reasonable costs incurred by us to

relocate the Vehicle to the location specified in the Rental Agreement.

9.6 The Vehicle should be returned to us with a full tank of fuel unless you have pre-paid

us for fuel. If the Vehicle is returned to us without a full tank of fuel, you will be liable

to pay us for the fuel required to fill up the Vehicle at the rate which will not exceed

the fuel rates calculated in accordance with our fuel matrix which may be viewed at

https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/costs/fuel-prices/ These rates are updated on a six

monthly basis. We use the fuel matrix to calculate the average rates on the first

Monday of every month and then adds a surcharge. The surcharge is calculated as

150% on a non-prepaid fuel rate and 10% on a Pre-Paid Amount. For the Pre-Paid

Amount Rate to apply you must have purchased this prior to the start of the Rental

Period.

9.7 If you return the Vehicle and any Optional Extras back to us early and you have prepaid the Rental Fees, you will still have to pay the full Rental Fees for the duration of

the Rental Period. Because special offers and discounts often relate to specific time

slots, you may even end up having to pay more if you bring the Vehicle back early.

9.8 If we have agreed to collect the Vehicle and keys from you, the Vehicle must be

parked in a suitable place to allow the collection, without the imposition of any fines

or penalties.

9.9 You must return the Vehicle and any Optional Extras in the same condition you

received them. We will allow for normal wear and tear, bearing in mind the distance

you travelled and the duration of the Rental Period.

9.10 We recommend that you are present for the inspection we carry out upon return of

the Vehicle and any Optional Extras, so that any damage to the vehicle can be

agreed. If you are not present for inspection, we will inspect the Vehicle and Optional

Extras in your absence and, if we find any damage, we will notify you of the amount

you are required to pay. You agree that we may charge your payment card for this

amount. You will not be liable for this amount if you can show the damage occurred

after the end of the Rental Agreement under clause 6.2 above. Please note, when

you sign the Rental Agreement, you authorise us to take payment for damage if

necessary and we may automatically charge your payment card for this.

9.11 Where we have agreed with you that you can return the Vehicle to an agreed location

where it will be unattended prior to us collecting it, you will be responsible and liable

for any damage which occurs to the Vehicle prior to us collecting it unless the

damage is caused by the negligence of us or our employees or occurred more than

four Business Hours following drop off of the Vehicle.

9.12 If the Vehicle is returned before the end of the Rental Period agreed in the Rental

Agreement without informing us of the early return, we will look at charging for

unused rental days. In this case a fee of GBP 10,00 (excl. VAT) will be included for

the expenses incurred. A higher standard price may also be applied if, for example,

the requirement for a special tariff is no longer met. In this case, however, the

originally agreed rental price will not be exceeded. This return fee does not apply to

prepaid tariffs under Section 3 of these General Terms and Conditions.

you will not be able to drive the Vehicle.

10.6 Special conditions apply to the terms of our third party insurance for anyone whose

primary occupation is a Restricted Profession. These special conditions relate to

Vehicle Breakdown and Towing

14.3 For the duration of the Rental Period, the Vehicle has the benefit of our breakdown

assistance service. In order to benefit from this service, you must call the designated

contact number as set out in your Rental Agreement.

14.4 If the Vehicle breaks down during the Rental Period, we will as soon as possible,

recover and repair the Vehicle. If the Vehicle cannot be repaired we may provide a

replacement Vehicle subject always to availability and, any other relevant

circumstance. If the breakdown is caused by your negligence or that of any Approved

Driver, or arises as a result of your breach of the Rental Agreement, you will be

responsible for the damage or loss under this clause 14 and recovery, together with

an administration fee to cover the handling of the claim and any other reasonable

associated costs.

14.5 Where the Vehicle breakdown is caused by your negligence or that of any Approved

Driver or arises as a result of your breach of the Rental Agreement, you will be

responsible for the payment of the Towing Fees that we incur to tow the Vehicle.

The Towing Fees shall be calculated based on the actual towing costs incurred by

us.

14.6 If you have purchased a Product, which is our roadside protection product, you will

be covered for the following:

(a) putting the wrong fuel in the Vehicle provided that you have not driven the

Vehicle after doing so;

(b) if the Vehicle runs out of fuel;

(e) flat battery; and

(f) towing and recovery charges,

the roadside protection package does not include the costs of any replacement parts

or labour for fitting these parts and any damage done to the Vehicle not covered

above, or the administration fee for handling any claim.

Theft of Vehicle and Damage

14.7 If the Vehicle, keys or any Optional Extras are stolen, you must report it to the police

and obtain a police report or crime reference number, without delay and, you must

immediately provide us with the police report or crime reference number and, the

keys (if possible). We will have no responsibility or liability for the loss, theft or

damage to any personal belongings left in the Vehicle at the time it was stolen.

14.8 Usually, where you are a consumer, loss or damage waiver comes as standard with

your Vehicle. If it does, you will see it on your Rental Agreement. If it is not included,

you can buy it separately. If the Vehicle is damaged or stolen during the Rental

Period (and any additional period until termination under clause 6.2 above), you are

responsible for paying an amount up to the excess stated on your Rental Agreement

for:

(a) any liability under this clause 14;

(b) our loss of use; and

14.9 We work with appropriately qualified experts who use a damage matrix to work out

the estimated cost of repair to or replacement of the Vehicle, keys, any accessories

or any Vehicle documents that are damaged or lost or stolen during the Rental Period

(and any additional period until termination under clause 6.2 above). The damage

matrix uses an average repair cost for the Vehicle Group selected, which takes

account of different makes and models in that group. We work this out using:

(a) industry standard labour rates and job duration, according to an industry

standard estimating tool;

(b) the price of any original equipment manufacturer parts; and

and loss of rental).

14.10 The amount of compensation payable to us for any damage will be calculated on the

basis stated below. If the damage is of the type set out in the table below then we

will charge you the sum set out, which is intended to be a fair and genuine estimate

of our losses resulting from the damage.

Damage Amount

Repairable stone chip £60 plus admin fee (clause 14.14)

Repairable small rim scratch (less

than 10 cm)

£75 plus admin fee (clause 14.14)

14.11 We will calculate the compensation due to us for any other damage by asking an

appropriately qualified expert to provide an estimate of our losses resulting from the

damage and such losses will include the reasonable fees charged to us by that

expert. The expert will base that estimate on the reasonable cost of the repairs to

the Vehicle necessary as a result of the damage. The estimate is intended to reflect

the loss measured by the open market rate of repairs to the Vehicle at an appropriate

dealership or authorised repair centre of the Vehicle. If the Vehicle is beyond

economic repair then the estimate will be based on the reasonable market value of

the Vehicle less the reasonable market rate salvage value for the Vehicle and may

include any anticipated costs associated with writing off the Vehicle, registration

and/or de-registration.

14.12 If we believe that you are responsible for damage, we will notify you as soon as

possible of the appropriate amount due as set out above and provide documentary

evidence of the damage, and the expert’s findings, and estimate of cost of repair.

14.13 If you disagree with the expert’s estimate of the losses resulting from the damage,

you may instruct your own suitably qualified and accredited expert (at your own cost)

and we will allow you and/or your expert to access the evidence of the damage in

our possession. If we cannot agree with you the amount due in respect of the

damage, it may be necessary for a court to decide on the appropriate payment.

14.14 In addition to any compensation for damage caused to the Vehicle, the following

administration fee (as set out in the table below) will be payable to cover our

administration costs for dealing with the breach of contract and associated claim

resulting from any damage and/or breach. This is a fair and genuine estimate of the

cost. If the amount of administration we are required to carry out in connection with

a damage claim is such that the administration fee set out below is likely to be

exceeded, we will notify you in writing during the process of dealing with the damage

claim.

Damage Claim Amount Admin Fee

£0-£75.00 £15

£75.01-£500.00 £45

£500.01-£2000.00 £75

£2000.01 and above £125

14.15 If Optional Extras are damaged or if you do not bring them back to us at the expiry

of the Rental Period, we will charge you the replacement cost in addition to the

Optional Extras Fee.

14.16 If you are in an accident where someone is injured, or their property is damage, the

provisions of this clause 14.16 shall apply. The Vehicle comes with third party liability

cover. This means you are covered for any damage caused to another person’s

property (for example, their vehicle and/or any injury suffered by them, including

passengers in the Vehicle). You will not have to pay any of their costs, unless the

damage or injury was caused, or contributed to, by:

(a) your negligence;

(b) you breaching any part of the Contract (for example, allowing someone other

than an Approved Driver to drive the Vehicle);

causes or contributes to the damage or third party claim; or

(d) you breaking the law.

In these circumstances, and/or if your primary occupation is a Restricted

Profession,if the law requires us to provide you with third party liability cover, the

minimum cover required by law will still apply but we, or our insurer, may seek to

recover our full costs from you. Please note third party liability cover does not cover

any injury to the driver of the Vehicle or any personal items inside the Vehicle.

14.17 If any damage or loss is caused to the Vehicle or to us or the Vehicle is stolen, and

it was caused, or contributed to, by:

(a) your negligence;

(b) you breaking the Contract (for example, allowing someone other than an

Approved Driver to drive the Vehicle);

and such breach causes or contributes to the damage or loss; or

(d) you breaking the law

then you may lose the benefit of any waivers, excess reduction products, personal

accident insurance and third party liability insurance. So, you will have to pay:

(e) the full cost of replacement or estimated repair costs;

(f) any loss of use;

(g) any costs we have to pay to third parties, including without limitation the Towing

Fee; and

(h) our own reasonable costs, including a processing fee.

In these circumstances, if the law requires us to provide you with third party liability

cover, the minimum cover required by law will still apply but we, or our insurer, may

seek to recover our full costs from you.

14.18 If you cannot show on balance that the damage, loss or theft, occurred after the end

of the Rental Agreement under clause 6.2 above, or if you cannot show that the

damage was less than what we said it was, we will require you to pay for the damage

or loss and the rental costs, even if the Vehicle is not found or repaired at the time

we take payment. Even though we do not have to do this, we will try, with your help,

to recover costs from third parties. If we are successful, we will refund these costs to

you. You will not be responsible for these costs if they come about through our

negligence, or if we’ve broken the Contract.

14.19 If you can show the damage occurred after the end of the Rental Agreement under

clause 6.2 above, and if you have already made payment we will refund the costs

set out in clause 14.17 to you. If you can show the damage was less than what we

said, we will refund the difference to you, if you have already made payment.

15 Speeding, parking and traffic fines and charges

15.1 You are responsible for all fines and charges issued as a result of you or any driver

using the Vehicle. Fines and charges could include: all parking fines or charges; toll

charges; towing charges; clamping costs; traffic fines or charges; speeding fines;

and any other charges or fines.

15.2 If a fine or charge is sent to us because you haven’t paid a charge or complied with

the law, we will take payment for:

(a) our administration fee of 40.00 GBP for every transaction handled by Sixt

which is notified to you at the time of booking and can be found on our website

at https://www.sixt.co.uk/rental-services/rental-information/ to cover our costs

of dealing with the fine or charge; and

(b) the fine or charge itself (if we have to pay it).

15.3 By signing the Rental Agreement, you give us permission to collect these payments.

We will charge them to your payment card.

15.4 By signing the Rental Agreement, you agree to us giving your details, as well as a

copy of the Rental Agreement to the authority or private company that has issued

the fine or charge if we consider they have a right to the information and the law

allows us to do so. We will charge you a processing fee for doing this.

15.5 If we are not able to lawfully pass on your information in accordance with clause

15.4, we will pay the fine or charge on your behalf and then invoice you for the fine

or charge, and our administration fee.

15.6 If you want to appeal, contest or dispute a fine or charge, we will give you the details

of the fine or charge and, the organisations who issued the fine or charge. You must

deal directly with the issuing organisations to get a refund and/or compensation.

15.7 If the Vehicle is seized by the police or customs and excise or any other authority

during the Rental Period (and any additional period until termination under clause

6.2 above), unless the seizure was caused by our negligence or us breaking the

Contract or the law, you will have to pay:

(a) any costs we incur as a result of the seizure. This includes the initial uplift

charge and up to 1 additional working day

(b) plus any loss of rental income while the Vehicle is not available to rent to

someone else; and

the impound

16.1.1 Loss or damage protection waiver - this reduces the amount you pay if the Vehicle

keys and accessories or any Vehicle documents are lost, stolen or damaged during

the Rental Period. You may be entitled to reduce your excess to between £0 to £150

depending on the Product, your age and the Vehicle Group that you choose. Please

refer to the country specific rental information document for full details of the

administration fees that we may charge for processing a claim under this Product. In

most cases the loss or damage protection waiver is provided as standard (please

check your Rental Agreement to confirm whether it is provided). The amount you will

pay will be the lower of (i) the liability under clause 14 and a processing fee; or (ii)

the excess stated on your Rental Agreement. The amount you pay will not be

for damage to their property (up to £5 million). You will be responsible for any costs

in excess of this in relation to third party damages. Excluded from the insurance is

the use of the vehicle for the transport of dangerous goods. All protection as part of

the Rental Agreement will become void, in particular, if an unauthorised vehicle or if

the driver of the vehicle does not possess the required driver’s licence at the time of

the event giving rise to claim, or any of the circumstances set out in clause 14.16

above occur. Clause 14.16 above sets out the circumstances in which we, or our

insurer, may seek to recover our full costs from you.

(a) using the Vehicle in breach of clause 11;

(b) driving without due care or attention;

(d) Events set out in clause 14.7 above.

breakdown due to lack of fuel; (c) assistance with starting the vehicle due to a flat

battery; (d) loss of the key; and (e) the Vehicle being stuck at a location. These

services may only be ordered via a direct claim using our road assistance number,

as provided in the Rental Agreement. The customer service personnel from our 24

hour roadside assistance department will determine the type and the extent of

service that is required to ensure that you are able to use the Vehicle. If any damage

to the Vehicle occurs which we do not consider is covered within the scope of this

protection, you remain fully liable for that damage.

16.1.5 Interior Protection – this product is an extended protection which protects you

against damage and contamination to the insides of a loading space/boot body

during vehicle operation as well as during loading and unloading; damages and

contamination to the interior space of the driver and /or passenger cabin; damage to

caused by load slippage.

(b) Overloading of the vehicle tailgate in accordance with the vehicle

must arrange your own insurance protection cover for the duration of the Rental

Period:

16.2.1 You must prove to us that the protection is valid and that the protection remains valid

whilst the Vehicle is out of our possession. You will be responsible for the cost of the

insurance.

16.2.2 It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance complies with the requirements

of the Rental Agreement. You will be responsible for all losses, damages and claims

that we incur or suffer in the event that any insurance policy fails to be effective or

satisfactory or for any payment that we make to a third party where the third party

brings a claim against us relating to your use of the Vehicle. We must agree to the

value of coverage that you propose the type of policy and the insurer that you have

chosen. We must be satisfied with the coverage and policy conditions, and they may

not be altered during the Rental Period. We may ask your proposed insurer to record

our name as the registered owners of the Vehicle. You will be responsible for settling

all losses and claims including third party claims if the Vehicle is lost, damaged or

stolen.

16.2.3 If we have agreed that you may return the Vehicle outside of Business Hours for your

convenience, or to an alternative location to the original rental branch, your own

insurance protection must be valid until the Vehicle is inspected by one of our

employees. We will use reasonable endeavours to inspect the vehicle within 4

Business Hours after the end of the Rental Agreement. Until this inspection has been

completed any loss, damage or theft of the Vehicle remains your responsibility.
