2 Rental period
You will have the vehicle for the period shown in the agreement. We may agree to extend this rental period, but the total rental will not be for more than 30 days.
If you do not bring back the vehicle on time, you will be breaking the conditions of this agreement.

If you break our agreement, we can ask you to bring back the vehicle before the date and time we have agreed with you. To do this we will give you written notice in person or send it to the address you have given on page 1. Once we have given you the notice in person, you will no longer have our permission to have the vehicle. If we send you a notice in the post, one day after we have posted it you will no longer have our permission to have the vehicle. We may then take back our vehicle. If we believe you have given us false information, we may take back the vehicle without giving you any notice.

3 Your responsibilities
a You must inspect the vehicle and any accessories we provide before you take the vehicle.

If we arrange separate motor insurance, we will give you information on the motor insurance cover and any restrictions which may apply. Otherwise, the conditions of our motor insurance and damage protection programme will apply. By putting your initials in the appropriate box on page 1, you are accepting the conditions of our motor insurance and damage protection programme.
a We have a legal responsibility to have third-party motor insurance. This provides cover for claims if you injure or kill anybody, or damage their property. Cover for damage to property is limited to £1 million.
b We will provide cover for loss or damage to the vehicle if you have put your initials in the box marked ‘Collision and loss damage waiver’ on page 1. Even if you accept this, you still have to pay an amount up to the responsibility amount’ every time you damage the vehicle. The responsibility amount you have to pay in each case is shown on page 1.
c We will provide cover for theft and damage to the vehicle caused during a theft or attempted theft if you have put your initials in the box marked ‘Theft waiver’ on page 1. Even if you accept this, you still have to pay an amount up to the ‘responsibility amount’ if the vehicle is stolen.
d We will, if available, provide personal accident insurance, personal belongings insurance and goods-in-transit insurance if you have put your initials in the appropriate boxes on page 1. You are responsible for deciding whether these products are suitable for your needs. We are not responsible if the product does not meet your needs.

9 Your own insurance
If we fill in the appropriate box on page 1, you may arrange your own motor insurance to cover your legal responsibility for any loss, or if the vehicle is stolen or damaged, for the full period you are renting the vehicle for. You must prove that this motor insurance is valid and sign the confirmation on page 1. We have the right to agree:
• the amount of cover you arrange;
• the type of policy you choose; and
• the insurer you choose.

We must be satisfied with the insurance cover and policy conditions, and you must not change them. We may ask your insurers to record our name as owner of the vehicle. If the vehicle is damaged or stolen we will negotiate any settlement for loss or damage with your insurers, and we will receive any money they pay out. This includes allowing us to take legal action in your name and defending any proceedings taken against you. You are responsible for paying the full claim and paying all costs if the policy you have arranged fails and the vehicle is damaged, lost or stolen, or someone else makes a claim.

10 What to do if you have an accident or the vehicle is stolen
If you are involved in an accident, you must not admit that you are responsible. You should describe the situation as fully as possible when you are asked to do so by the police and us. You should get the names and addresses of everyone involved, including witnesses. You should also:
• make sure the vehicle is secure;
• tell the police straight away if anyone is injured or if there is a disagreement over who is responsible; and
• contact us straight away.

You must then fill in our accident report form and send it to our address, shown on page 1. If the vehicle has been stolen, you must tell us as soon as possible and confirm this in writing as soon as reasonably possible. You or any authorised drivers will also need to:
• get the names and addresses of any witnesses and give them to us;
• send us any notices or other documents relating to any legal proceedings arising out of the theft or loss;
• help us and our insurers in any legal proceedings, including allowing us to take legal action in your name and defending any legal action taken against you; and
• give us back all keys and report the theft or loss to the police as soon as reasonably possible.
