2.1 RESERVING VEHICLES
The Booking Company must make all reservations with Eurovehicle’s Central Reservations or Implant on the appropriate Reservation number allocated to them.
The following information must be provided to enable Eurovehicle to provide the correct vehicle:
- Account number
- Order number
- Booking contact
- Vehicle group required
- Name and address of the Renting Company
- Driver name, address and contact telephone number
- Length of time the vehicle is required including starting date and time
- Confirmation of whose insurance is to cover the vehicle. All reservations requiring the Supplying Locations insurance must be confirmed in writing by fax or e-mail
2.2 CONFIRMATION OF RESERVATIONS
Upon receipt of the information in 2.1 above Eurovehicle will provide the Booking Company a reservation confirmation number. This number will be suffixed with either SB, AP.
2.2.1 SB Confirmations
SB reservation confirmations mean that the vehicle has been booked with an unknown termination date (i.e. on a to be advised (“TBA”) basis). This vehicle will remain on hire until the Booking Company has been given a termination reference by Eurovehicle. It is the responsibility of the Booking Company to terminate the hire with Eurovehicle and receive a termination number. It is not the responsibility of Eurovehicle to check with the Booking Company if a hire is due to be terminated. Vehicles will therefore remain on rent until Eurovehicle receives notification of termination from the Booking Company and a termination reference has been provided to the Booking Company.
2.2.2 AP Confirmations
AP reservation confirmations mean that the vehicle has been booked with a specific termination date and time. The vehicle will be automatically picked up on the date and time specified by the Booking Company when reserving the vehicle. The Booking Company will not be allocated a termination number on AP reservations.
2.2.3 28 Day Confirmations
If a hire booked on a “TBA” basis reaches 28 days, the Booking Company will receive an invoice for the 28 day period. Eurovehicle will use the original reservation number for the entire rental period.
2.3 VEHICLE GROUPS AND CHARGING
Eurovehicle will supply the Renting Company with a vehicle from the vehicle group requested. If this vehicle group is not available Eurovehicle will offer the Renting Company a vehicle from an alternative vehicle group and the Booking Company will be charged at the new group rate. If however a reservation has been confirmed, Eurovehicle agree to supply and charge for this group even if an upgrade has been given. Eurovehicle reserve the right to provide a one class vehicle free upgrade without notifying the Booking or Renting Company.
2.4 LEAD TIME FOR BOOKINGS
On vehicle categories M1-M4, Eurovehicle require two working hours notice to fulfil a booking. Therefore the Booking Company should book vehicles at least 2 working hours prior to the pick up or delivery time.
3.1 TIMING
Vehicles will be delivered by the Supplying Location at the time requested by the Booking Company or earlier. Penalties for late delivery will be as per the terms of our Service Charter. Eurovehicle shall have no further liability to the Booking Company, the Renting Company or the Renting Company's driver in respect of any such late delivery.
3.2 ATTENDED DELIVERIES
The Renting Company's driver must sign a rental agreement and a vehicle condition report at the start of the hire. If nobody is available to sign for the vehicle then the procedures in 3.3 apply.
3.3 UNATTENDED DELIVERIES
It is not the policy of Eurovehicle to encourage unattended deliveries as this can lead to damage disputes and insurance liability issues. In the event nobody is available to sign for the vehicle, the Supplying Location may contact the driver and/or the Booking Company and request them to locate an appropriate signatory.
