Common use of CHECKING THE VEHICLE Clause in Contracts

CHECKING THE VEHICLE. We will provide a summary of any pre-existing damage on the Vehicle Condition Report (VCR) at the start of the rental. Please check to make sure it is correct before you leave the rental location. We will also inspect the vehicle on your return and record any new damage (excluding fair wear and tear) on a Damage Appraisal Report (DAR) and will provide a copy to you. This means “ordinary wear due to reasonable use” and includes minor scratches and chips, small dents and normal wear on tyre treads and wiper blades. Please check the section “What we mean by chargeable damage” at the bottom on your Vehicle Condition Report which you will be sent by email. At peak times you should allow 20 to 30 minutes to complete the inspection with our staff and agree any damage. If you don’t have time to do this any new damage will be assessed and charged in your absence. Some damage will not be apparent on post-rental inspection, such as damage caused to inaccessible parts of the vehicle (e.g. the engine, fuel tank or clutch) or hidden by adverse light or weather conditions. If we find any such damage we will notify you using the email address we hold on record for you, with evidence, before we charge you.
