| Why
don't we display prices? |
| |
| We
do not show prices on the Website as we prefer to quote on an individual,
more personal basis as very often we receive unusual requests and
from time to time we run seasonal offers and promotional events.
|
| |
| What
if I decide not to rent a vehicle? |
| |
| Well,
we could help there too. We also have drivers available, this may
be a chauffeur with a preplanned itinerary, or just a driver on
a more informal basis to drive you around at your request. We also
have an airport transfer facility to be used independently if you
wish. Day trips and sightseeing / golf tours are also a major part
of our service. These services may not be as expensive as you think!!
|
| |
| Can
we take the car into Europe? |
| |
| The
answer is, yes, except Ireland (both Northern and Southern). We
require to know before the commencement of each rental if the car
is going to be going overseas. If our vehicle travels overseas without
our permission this means there is NO breakdown cover, insurance
or legally binding rental agreement between us whatsoever. The vehicle
would then be travelling totally illegally and you would be wholly
liable for any unforeseen eventualities - including possible imprisonment
by the appropriate authorities. |
| |
| What
documents do I require to rent a car? |
| |
| To
rent any vehicle from ourselves couldn't be simpler, you require
a driver's licence, two forms of identification containing the driver's
home address and a current credit card. For every additional driver
you require the same documents. |
| |
| What
age restrictions apply to renting? |
| |
| Our
insurance allows drivers from the ages of 25 to 70. If you are a
little either side please call, we my be able to help. |
| |
| How
old are our cars? |
| |
| Every
car we operate is changed before it is a year old. This rule applies
to each and every car on our fleet. |
| |
| What
about back up and recovery if the car should breakdown? |
| |
| As
we mentioned all cars are under 12 months old and thankfully breakdowns
rarely ever happen! All cars are covered by manufacturer's warranty
and breakdown assistance. We are part of the UK's largest vehicle
rental network and a replacement vehicle could be arranged if required. |
| |
| What
is the procedure for uplifting a car at the Airport? |
| |
| Again,
it couldn't be simpler. We require your flight details and we shall
personally meet you from your flight, in the relevant arrivals lounge
when we shall escort you directly to your waiting car. This method
dispenses with any annoying wait at a rental desk in the terminal.
|
| |
| Do
we cover Edinburgh and Prestwick airports? |
| |
| Yes
we do! Please enquiry for details. Need any further help with planning
your trip? Take it form the locals who know! Contact Mike at Freedom
Scotland Holiday at www.freedomscotland.com
These are the guys! What they dont know about planning a trip in
Scotland isn't worth knowing . |
| |
| Where
can we collect our rental vehicle? |
| |
| We
are located in and around the Greater Glasgow area and have availability
throughout our city locations. Delivery of your vehicle could be arranged
to your required address within Central Scotland. We have airport
facilities at Glasgow, Edinburgh and Prestwick Airports.We can also
have a car standing at any main railway station or seaport within
Central Scotland. If you need transport within the Central area -
we can get it to you! |
| |
| How
old are our rental vehicles? |
| |
| Our
rental vehicles are ALL under one year old. EVERY vehicle is replaced
when the 12 months period is reached to ensure a continual high standard
of product. |
| |
| Is
our rental vehicle covered by a breakdown recovery scheme? |
| |
| Yes.
Due to all vehicles being under 12 months old they are directly covered
by the manufacturer's assistance scheme. However, we also have additional
'Automobile Association' and 'Kwik Fit' tyre cover - both nationwide
operations. So there really is plenty of cover should the unthinkable
happen. |
| |
| Do
we have cars with automatic transmission? |
| |
| Yes.
While not every category is available in both automatic and manual
variants, we do have a varied selection of automatic options to choose
from. |
| |
| What
paperwork do we require to rent a vehicle? |
| |
| You
require a valid driver's licence, two forms of identification (i.e.
passport and proof of home address) and a credit card. If the card
is not in the hirers name the card holder must be present. Driving
licences from most countries are generally fine, but please enquire
if unsure. International drivers licences are also ok. |
| |
|
How old do I need to be? |
| |
| Overseas
drivers must be over 25 years of age and under 70. UK residents must
be over the age of 21 with two years driving experience and the only
range available to under 25s is group 1. |
| |
| What
about taking our rental car overseas? |
| |
| Taking
a car abroad is fine but we must be notified before commencement of
the rental. This type of hire is subject to a different tariff covering
all relevant overseas rental charges. However, we do allow our vehicles
to travel to the Scottish islands off of the West Coast without prior
notice. (WITHOUT EXCEPTION WE DO NOT ALLOW OUR VEHICLES TO BE TAKEN
TO IRELAND (NORTHERN OR SOUTHERN). |
| |
| What
about insurance cover? |
| |
| Our
rental quotes always include comprehensive insurance cover unless
requested otherwise by the hirer. Some customer's may prefer to cover
the insurance content of the rental via a scheme operated by their
credit card provider - we would require confirmation of this before
commencement of the rental. There is a financial saving in using this
method. Any cover provided by a customers credit card would have to
be fully comprehensive. Although fully comprehensive our insurance
is subject to an excess varying between £250 - £500. This
is deductable at commencement of the rental in addition to the rental
amount. Past driving bans or convictions may be subject to increased
excess rental or excess amount. We must also be made aware of any
pending driving convictions or physical disabilities that may affect
your driving. |
| |
|
Can we collect a rental car in Glasgow and drop it in Edinburgh or
vice versa? |
| |
| Yes,
this would be fine, please enquire. We need to know before commencement
of the rental. |
| |
| Do
we provide road maps? |
| |
| Yes
we do, please request this when reserving your car. |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| What
area do we cover? |
| |
| Being
based in Glasgow and Edinbugh, we have the coverage to be able to
meet a person(s) at any airport, seaport or railway station within
Central Scotland. We can also cover Aberdeen and Prestwick airports
to any location of your choice within Scotland. |
| |
| At
what times do we operate this service? |
| |
| Virtually
24 hours a day - let us know your arrival times and I am sure we can
help. |
| |
| Are
our drivers trained? |
| |
| Our
drivers (transfer and chauffeur) are all Scottish citizens, some are
ex-policemen previously employed in the traffic enforcement section
or trained specialist chauffeurs highly skilled in their profession.
Our drivers are well mannered, polite and happy to pass on any local
knowledge you may wish to learn from. We also appreciate that you
may wish not to be bothered while on your journey - we will also respect
this. |
| |
| What
is the maximum number of people we can transfer? |
| |
| Up
to 16 people. We are also happy to provide a luggage van if required
to follow at the rear. |
| |
| Where
do we meet? |
| |
| We
would meet any parties directly in the arrivals lounge and handle
all luggage from there on. |
