Hereinafter California Dreamin' Classic Cars Limited shall be known as The Company and the named person making the booking shall be known as The Hirer. It will be deemed that The Hirer accepts responsibility for every person in his or her party, and fullly agrees to the terms and conditions of hire having been read, understood and agreed as follows:

1. All bookings are to be pre-booked only by the completion of our booking form, with a 25% deposit paid, made out to California Dreamin' Classic Cars Ltd, unless otherwise advised.

2. The balance must be received no later than 30 days before the booked date. 

3. In the event of cancellation by The Hirer the deposit is non-refundable. If cancellation is received after the balance has been paid, this will only be refundable if a replacement vehicle cannot be arranged. Exceptional circumstances may allow partial or complete refund of the payment to the made (for example - bereavement). However, this is entirely at The Company's discretion.

4. Late bookings can be made with immediate payment, dependant upon vehicle availability.

5. The Company cannot accept responsibility for adverse weather conditions, or acts by other persons or organisations which may impact adversely upon the hire period. Although we will do all we can to maintain appropriate standards despite difficulties not occasioned by ourselves.

6. Whilst every effort is afforded to maintain the serviceability of the vehicles, responsibility cannot be accepted for mechanical, electrical or material breakdown whatsoever. In this unlikely event, The Hirer will be transferred to another vehicle so that the journey can continue. Any reasonable extra costs incurred will be borne by The Company, or a refund will be given. No claim for additional monies against the driver or California Dreamin' Classic Cars Limited in respect of consequences of cancellation will be considered.

7. The Company cannot be held responsible if the owner of a booked vehicle suddenly decides to withdraw it from hire through California Dreamin' Classic Cars Limited, for whatever reason. In these circumstances we will immediately notify the Hirer and either offer a full refund of the money received, or alternatively offer another suitable vehicle, if available, at no additional charge.

8. In the event of conditions in 5 or 6 or any other breakdown and/or accident, no responsibility will be accepted for missed connections and/or functions, howsoever caused.

9. In the event of a breakdown or accident to the vehicle, booked prior to the date of the booking, every effort will be made to supply an alternative vehicle at The Company's discretion. If this is not acceptable to The Hirer, a refund will be made of monies paid.

10. The Company reserves the right at any time to change/replace/ renew the vehicle(s) booked or advertised in order to maintain The Company's high standards.

11. The consumption of food/food products or drink is not permitted unless authorised by The Company. Smoking is NOT allowed in any of our vehicles. This last rule will be strictly adhered.

12. The Hirer (see indicated below) shall be fully responsible and liable for any damage caused both inside and outside the vehicle(s) by The Hirer or any member and his/her party, howsoever caused. This includes incitement to ANY third party which results in damage to the vehicle(s) or its contents. The Hirer will agree to be liable for the total retail cost of the repair and The Company will determine the location of the repairer.  In addition, The Hirer will be liable to pay to The Company a fixed daily rate (determined by The Company) whilst the vehicle is out of commission for such repairs, plus any further incurred losses, i.e. lost bookings.

13 . The Company can at no time take responsibility for The Hirer's or any member of his/her party's possessions used or left in vehicles. The Hirer must make sure all possessions belonging to The Hirer or any of his/her party are removed at the end of each rental term. (Employees of The Company cannot hold/store/safeguard any items in this way.)

14. The Company or its representative(s)/employee(s) reserves the right to refuse entry to the vehicle(s) or to any person(s) they deem unfit, for whatsoever reason, and can refuse to continue the journey if any person(s) behave in a manner which may be detrimental to any other person or the vehicles and its contents. In this event, no refund of monies paid will be given.

15. The Company will levy a £100.00 valeting charge if the vehicle(s) is/are misused through food, drink or illness, or whatever the retail cost may be if in excess of this amount to rectify said damage caused.

16. Any extra requests or alterations to the booking (i.e. additional pickup points, change of venue causing extra mileage or time not made at the time to book/confirmation) cannot necessarily be entertained, although every effort will be made to meet these requirements, although they may necessitate further costs.

17 Once a booking is made and confirmed, the price quoted to The Hirer will not be changed, unless The Hirer wishes to make alterations to the booking. Only in the event of fuel prices rising dramatically we will have to charge extra. You will be notified should this be the case.

18. Hire time will be deemed to have started at the time of the first pick up. (Distances outside our standard 30 mile range will be discussed beforehand.)

19. Due to the change in the law our wedding cars are designated NON SMOKING. Any infringement of this policy will render the rental invalid and monies paid will be forfeited and the rental terminated immediately.

20. Any overrun of booked time due to alterations made on the day of hire must be paid for at the time of the rental - in cash (full hours only).

21. California Dreamin' Classic Cars Limited or their associate members will take photographs at your event. We may use them on our web site or promotional material. If you object please would you advise us at the time of confirmation.

By making a booking, The Hirer has entered into a binding contract with The Company.  The Company's discretion will be exercised in respect of all matters concerning The Company at all times.
