5 SAFETY ON THE ROAD
It is preferable that the hirer takes a cautious and careful approach to driving and
thereby avoids accidents.
A driving style, which is considerate and cautious, will not only avoid accidents but also dramatically improve fuel economy. If the hirer's rental agreement is one under which liability for a proportion of the cost of the parts used on the vehicle, again a smooth and cautious diving style will also dramatically extend the life of many components.
6 PARKING FINES AND OTHER TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS
The hirer is liable and must pay any fines (such as parking penalties and speeding fines) incurred whilst the vehicle is rented to them. If Revisecatch Ltd has to pay any such fines they will be charged onto the hirer and an administration charge will also be levied. It is worth noting that once the owner of the vehicle is notified of an outstanding fine it has usually been increased to cover the costs of the issuing authorities administration costs.
Under this agreement you have agreed to be responsible for any congestion charges (if applicable) at the applicable rate which you incur whilst using this vehicle, if you do NOT complete your agreed shift pattern and hours of work. If the hours and shift pattern are adhered to, the company will pay these charges for you. If however you should fail to pay the congestion charge within the prescribed timescale you will also be liable for any penalty fines issued as a result of the failure to pay.
Please note that at the end of the hire, £130.00 of your deposit will be held for one calendar month from the date of vehicle return. (This is for non- transferable parking and traffic fines that may arrive after return of the vehicle.) It will only then be processed in the usual way and released on the following Friday.
The hirer acknowledges that during the rental period of this agreement, in addition to the charges noted above, the hirer shall be liable as the owner of the vehicle let in respect of:
() Any fixed penalty offence committed in respect of that vehicle under Schedule 6 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1991, (or as amended, replaced or revised by subsequent legislation or orders).
() Any excess parking charges, which may be incurred in respect of that vehicle and pursuance of an order under section 45 andor section 46 of the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984, (or as amended, replaced or revised by subsequent legislation or orders).
() Any charges made by Customs and Excise as a result of seizure of the vehicle by them together with a loss of income charge while the vehicle is unavailable for rental.
7 PERSONAL PROPERTY
Insurance cover does not extend to cover personal property.
8 UNAUTHORISED DRIVERS
The hirer alone is authorised to drive the vehicle. If anyone else drives the vehicle they will be uninsured and the hirer will be committing an offence.
9 DRIVING OUTSIDE THE U.K.
The hirer is specifically forbidden from driving the hire vehicle outside the U.K. If the hirer should do so the Rental Agreement would have been breached and the insurance invalid
10 TERMINATION
At the end of the minimum Rental Period, this agreement will automatically continue. Either party may terminate the agreement following on from the end of the minimum Rental Period, by giving the other party at least one business day's notice. The hire will then terminate on the last day of the notice period and the hirer must immediately return the Vehicle to the point of collection. The hirer will be responsible for the vehicle and any Rentals due under the agreement until the vehicle is returned, together with any unpaid Rentals, charges and other sums due under the agreement.
