3.1
A Hirer may make a Booking up to four (4) months prior to the start date set out on the Platform (the “Start Date”). The total rental period (“Rental Period”) shall start on the Start Date and end on the end date set out on the Platform (the “End Date”).
3.2
The minimum and maximum rental period per Booking is one (1) day and sixty (60) days respectively, and the commencement time of the Rental Period (“Start Time”) and end time of the Rental Period (“End Time”) shall fall within the Owner’s normal operating hours (which may be decided at the Owner’s sole discretion).
3.3
During the Rental Period, the Hirer may log in to opt to extend the Rental Period. Any extension of the Rental Period shall be subject to the Vehicle’s availability and full payment of the extension fees, which will be based on the vehicle’s hourly rental rate (as set out on the Platform at the time of the extension). Such extension fees shall be charged by the hour and not part thereof. The Owner shall have full and final discretion on whether to accept any extension of the Rental Period.
3.4
Any extension of the Rental Period must be completed two (2) hours prior to the End Time. If the extension of the Rental Period is not completed two (2) hours prior to the End Time, the Hirer will not be allowed to extend the Rental Period.
3.5
If a collection service is provided by the Owner or requested by the Hirer, the Hirer must instead complete any extension of the Rental Period twenty-four (24) hours prior to the End Time. If the extension of the Rental Period is not completed twenty-four (24) hours prior to the End Time, the Hirer will not be allowed to extend the Rental Period.
3.6
Hirers may only extend the Rental Period such that the total maximum number of days of the Rental Period and extension is sixty (60) days.
3.7
Barring any successful extension of the Rental Period prior to the End Time, a thirty (30) minute grace period after the End Time will be accorded for the return of the Vehicle. In the event that the Vehicle is not returned after the expiry of such grace period, it will be deemed a late return of the Vehicle by the Hirer. In such circumstances, the Hirer will be liable to pay further fees for the use of the Vehicle as set out in the table at Clause 4.7 below and a fifty dollar (S$50.00) administrative fee.
3.8
The Owner reserves the right to assign any vehicle, in accordance with stock availability, as a replacement if the Vehicle becomes unavailable, damaged or breaks down before or during the Rental Period.
3.9
A Booking can be cancelled at any time after a Booking is confirmed, subject to the payment of cancellation charges by the Hirer as set out at Clause 4.6.
3.10
The Owner reserves the right to take proportionate and reasonable action, including the imposition of a platform fee, temporary restriction of the Hirer’s access to future bookings, or suspension of the Hirer’s access to the booking platform, in the event of any booking abuse.
For the purposes of this Clause, “booking abuse” shall mean any of the following:
(a) More than three (3) cancellations by the Hirer within any thirty (30) day period.
(b) Any other repeated behavior that results in demonstrable transaction costs or disrupts the operational processes of the Owner, provided such behavior is documented and communicated to the Hirer.
If booking abuse is detected, the Owner shall notify the Hirer in writing and provide details of the issue, together with the intended remedial measure(s), which may include a platform fee equivalent to the actual transaction and administrative cost incurred per affected booking, up to a maximum of ten dollars (S$10.00) per instance.
The Hirer shall have the right to submit a written response or appeal within three (3) business days from the date of notification and the Owner shall, in good faith, review the Hirer’s response and provide a written decision.
Nothing in this Clause shall prevent the Owner from taking immediate steps to temporarily restrict access where necessary to prevent further abuse, provided that the Hirer is notified promptly.
3.11
The Owner reserves the right not to honour Bookings or rates that are displayed in error.
