1. The
Company agrees to let and the Customer agrees to rent the Vehicle and
accepts the Terms and Conditions as stated below. The customer is
renting a specific brand and type of model. The Customer may request a
certain colour and the Company will try to provide it, but under no
circumstances can Vehicle color constitute a reason for
cancelling a reservation. In the case that a predefined vehicle type is not
available, the company will upgrade the rental to a superior type
at no extra charge.
2. The
Customer will pay the Company on demand all charges due hereunder
including where relevant, sums in respect of DLW, surcharges,
additional charges and VAT or other taxes thereon.
3. DLW and
TPI are available through the Company. There will be an additional
charge for TPI.
The Company will always require a
current, full driver's license held for at least 2 years prior to
rental, and reserves the right to inspect such license. Minimum age of
the Customer: 25 -30 years depending on the type and model of vehicle.
Rates are dependent on the car type and model.
TPI will not cover loss of or damage to
the Vehicle caused by driver abuse; nor will DLW apply in these
circumstances.
Vehicles for which DLW and TPI are
taken out are rented to the Customer on condition that the Customer
complies with their respective terms and conditions.
The Insurer will not accept liability
for loss and damage caused while a Vehicle is rented to a Customer who
does not comply with these terms and conditions; nor will DLW apply in
these circumstances.
The Customer agrees to make any payment
necessary to put the Company in the same position as it would have been
in if the breach of the relevant terms and conditions had not occurred.
The Customer will supply any
information concerning the driver(s) of the rented Vehicle to the
Company upon demand and undertakes to allow the Company direct access
to the driver(s) of the Vehicle and will fully co-operate in obtaining
such access.
If DLW is not taken by the Customer,
the Customer will be liable for the full cost of any damage sustained
to the Vehicle. In all cases where Customer's own insurance has not
been arranged, TPI is mandatory. For the avoidance of doubt waiver

Third Party Vehicle involved in any accident with the Vehicle.

place.
