Hereafter New Milton Limousines shall be known as the Company and the person signing this confirmation shall be known as the Hirer.

The Hirer accepts responsibility by himself/herself for every member in his/her party and fully agrees to the conditions of hire as follows

SAFETY

The Company would like to point out that there is a transmission hump in the centre of the limousine and requests that the Hirer and his/her guests take care when entering and exiting the vehicle.

The Hirer and his/her guests are required by law to wear the seat belts provided and to remain seated at all times. The Company will not be held liable for accidents that occur from guests moving around inside the vehicle.

PRICES

The price quoted is for one pick up and one drop off unless otherwise stated at the time of booking.  Any additional pick ups / drop offs will be charged at £10 per person.  All bookings are subject to a minimum seven (7) days hire. The Contract starts from the time the limousine arrives at the Collection address and terminates upon arrival at the Venue address or return address.  If any additional time is required this must be prepaid at £20 per 15 minutes.  All outstanding monies shown on the Booking Contract must be paid in full by cheque 10 days prior to the hire date, or by cash, to the driver on arrival of the vehicle - failure to do so may result in the driver refusing entry to the vehicle. 

CANCELLATIONS

A £ 50 deposit is payable for each booking which is non refundable and non transferable. If you cancel your reservation within 7 days of the booking date, 50% of the Balance due fee is payable.  If you cancel within 3 days of the booking date, 100% of the Balance due fee is payable. 

PUNCTUALITY

If you are not at the agreed pick up point at the agreed time, your driver will wait 20 minutes, unless prior arrangements have been made, before terminating the hire.  A grace period shall be established for late arrival of your limousine due to breakdown, traffic conditions, bad weather etc (any missed time due to unforeseen circumstances will be made up to you at the end of your journey if possible).  In the unlikely event that the vehicle is unable to reach you in time for your event and you choose to arrange alternative transportation, the Company will not be liable for any further costs that you may incur and no compensation will be given.  We ask customers to be patient whilst waiting for limousines, as sometimes traffic and other conditions beyond our control can cause a delay. Please note that any delay, howsoever caused does not entitle you to any discount.

SERVICEABILTY

Whilst the Company services its vehicles regularly, no responsibility is accepted for mechanical, electrical or material breakdown howsoever caused. In the unlikely event of a breakdown every effort will be made for the immediate repair to the vehicle so that the journey can continue or the Hirer will be transferred to another vehicle/s at the Companies sole discretion.

 

In the event of breakdowns, accidents, bad weather and/or other unforeseeable events the Company accepts no responsibility for missed flight connections and/or other functions howsoever caused.

BEHAVIOUR

There is no smoking or eating permitted in the vehicle. The Hirer is responsible for the behaviour of all other guests and the Company have the right to eject any person(s) for the following reason(s):

·          Smoking or the consumption of food in the vehicle

 

·          Abusive or threatening behaviour towards the driver or public bystanders.  If any such behaviour occurs the booking will be terminated immediately and, if necessary, the police called to attend

 

·          Possession of any illegal weapons or substances

If any person is sick in the limousine, the vehicle will be stopped and the Hirer will be requested to pay £100 for the valeting of the vehicle before the trip can continue.  Any person(s) causing damage to the limousine or leaving it in an unacceptable condition (in the opinion of the driver) will be charged accordingly and may be driven to the nearest police station without prior warning from the driver. 

 

PERSONAL BELONGINGS

 

Whilst the Company will endeavour to take reasonable care of your property, if you choose to leave articles in the vehicle, neither the company nor its drivers are in any way responsible for loss or damage to these articles.  The Hirer and his/her guests assume full liability for all articles that may be damaged (including personal injury) whilst getting in and out of the vehicle.
