2. USE OF OUR SUPERCARS
2.1. Clients are required to take good care of the cars at all times when they are in their possession or control. They must drive with due care and attention at all times and ensure that the cars are securely locked, alarmed and immobilised and kept in a safe place when not in use. The car as per agreement must come back in the same condition it left in. Any anomalies to the vehicle check conducted at the office prior to the client leaving with the vehicle will be charged for.
2.2. The Driver agrees and acknowledges that all of the cars carry a sophisticated Dashboard Camera and tracking device and that the usage of the cars will be continuously monitored for safe and responsible driving, for speed, vehicle location and direction of travel in real time, and will note that we have the ability to immobilise any vehicle at any time. The client agrees to notify us in advance in the event that a car is to be parked in a location (such as underground parking) where the tracking device may not receive a signal. Acknowledgement of any reckless or dangerous driving which is deemed inappropriate by us will be documented on return and could ultimately result in lifetime bans if we deem appropriate. Supercar Hire uses the agreed devices as a monitoring platform for the security of both clients and our vehicles—the Dashboard Camera system is for visual recording only and has no ability to record sound and will adhere to the ‘General Data Protection Regulation of 2018.’
2.3. We reserve the right to demand the return of a car at any time or immobilise the vehicle if we detect, or have reason to suspect, the vehicle is being used outside our guidelines.
2.4. Our cars can be driven only by clients, who must have successfully completed our in-house supercar induction training before being allowed to drive.
2.5. Our cars must not be loaned out or entrusted to any third party, including valet parkers, ferry loaders etc.
2.6. Smoking (including e-cigarettes) is not permitted and no pets or other animals are allowed in any of our cars at any time. In the event of any breach of this rule, the client will be charged a fee of £400 plus VAT to valet/deep clean the vehicle and a full day’s payment will also be deducted to cover the period that the Car is being cleaned.
2.7. Young children (under 12) and babies must not be allowed to sit in the front passenger seat of any car under any circumstance.
2.8. Clients acknowledge and accept that all fines and charges (including, without limitation, congestion charges, tolls, refuelling costs, repair costs, insurance excesses, parking or speeding fines or penalties, delivery/collection charges) incurred while using our vehicles, will be charged to and payable by the client. We reserve the right to charge an additional £80 administration fee on top of any fine or charge the client has incurred during the booking.
2.9. The client acknowledges and accepts full responsibility and accountability and shall indemnify Supercar Hire in full in respect of any and all driving, parking and traffic violations in the United Kingdom and all other costs and charges referred to in these Rules.
2.10. Our cars may not be used on track days, races, road trials or other organised events.
3. BREAKDOWN/ ACCIDENT/DAMAGE
3.1. In the event of any accident, damage, loss or breakdown of a car, clients must inform us at their earliest convenience and in all cases within 24 hours.
3.2. In the event of damage or vehicle breakdown, clients must immediately discontinue use of the car if further use of the car would or could cause further damage. Clients must not abandon the car without making adequate provision for safeguarding and securing the vehicle.
3.3. In the event of damage (including but not limited to drivetrain, internal and external body parts, wheels, or spoilers, and whether or not such damage is a result of theft, flooding, vandalism or fuel contamination) while in the clients' care, the client agrees to pay on demand all expenses and costs relating to the insurance policy excess. Where any such damage is not covered by our insurance policy, the client agrees to pay to Supercar Hire on demand the total amount of the loss. In the event that the client is a company, partnership or unincorporated organisation, then it shall be responsible for the actions of those persons that it has nominated as its named drivers, and shall be liable for and shall indemnify Supercar Hire in respect thereof.
3.4. Tyres on the vehicles are changed as per manufacturer and legal parameters met through Fair Wear and Tear Policy in accordance with the BVRLA. The high performance nature of these tyres means they cannot be safely repaired and must always be replaced in the event of damage. Any cost of replacement of tyres due to puncture or abuse will be payable by the client. If a client expects to exceed the pre-agreed mileage allowance while using the vehicle over the period of one week, he/she should inform us in advance so that we can ensure the car remains inside its legal tyre thread and service interval limits.
3.5. Clients may be offered the opportunity to purchase an Excess Waiver (EW), which may be used by a client at his/her option in respect of any (one) accident/incident damage to a car while in the clients' custody or control. Each EW purchased may be used once only. In order for the EW to be valid and for the client to be able to use his or her EW he or she must have paid for it prior to the date of the relevant accident. Purchasing EW also gives the opportunity of a reduced deposit contribution, subject to our authorisation.
3.6. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be responsible for any loss, damage or injury suffered by any client or any passengers in any car.
4. INSURANCE
