6. THE VEHICLE RENTAL PROCESS
6.1. Karzoom provides a Dealer to Driver, Vehicle rental platform in which Dealers make their Vehicles available to rent via the Services to Drivers.
Summary Information for Drivers:
6.2. When a Driver chooses to rent a Vehicle through the Services, the Driver shall be carrying out the following steps:
6.2.1. Select a Rental Location via the drop-down menu;
6.2.2. Select your preferred Vehicle class for rental or select ‘Any Vehicle Class’;
6.2.3. Select the start date required for the Vehicle (this must be 7 days in advance of your selected Rental Period) and the period you wish to hire the Vehicle (the “Rental Period”) and then press ‘Search’;
6.2.4. Select a Vehicle to rent from the Vehicles available to rent;
6.2.5. Once you have confirmed the Vehicle to be rented and the Rental Period, proceed to the next step in the reservation process;
6.2.6. It should be noted that for Individuals, the minimum Rental Period is 28 days, to a maximum of 85 days, meaning that there is a short-defined period for the rental of the Vehicle (and a set end date to the rental, being the Return Date of the Vehicle) as set out in the Rental Agreement or as otherwise agreed between us in writing, provided that the Rental Period shall not exceed 85 days.
6.2.7. Select any added options the Dealer may supply such as collection and drop off services (“Optional Services”) or adding any Additional Drivers so that they are authorised to drive the Vehicle. Please note that certain options are at the Dealer’s discretion and may incur additional charges where applicable;
6.2.8. Enter your personal details as required by the Site to create your Karzoom Account, alternatively log in with your email and password if you have previously created a Karzoom Account;
6.2.9. You will confirm your consent to Karzoom carrying out checks including but not limited to driver licence checks, credit checks and fraud prevention checks using your personal data as requested and provided by you during the website booking process. Where you wish to include Additional Drivers in the hire, you confirm you will obtain the prior consent of such Additional Drivers to allow Karzoom to carry out such checks using their data as provided by you;
6.2.10. Where the Rental Location provides a customised drop off and collection service (where available), you must provide the required address (“Collection Address”). This address must be within the stated mileage or serviced region of the Rental Location selected. Some of our Dealers will only provide a drop off and collection service to the Driver’s home address – this will be stated where applicable;
6.2.11. You will then confirm your acceptance of the Terms and the Privacy Policy as well as the booking information you have submitted and then request a quote for the Rental Period you have selected (“Quote”), which will be confirmed by email (“Quote Email”). At this stage we will commence the validations checks for the Driver and any Additional Drivers, as noted in Clause 6.2.9. These validation checks may change the final price that is offered to you for the Rental period.
6.2.12. Once the validation checks have been completed, we will send you a further email with an updated Quote in order to make your reservation (“Reservation Email”). This Reservation Email will include any changes to the Start Date for the Rental Period where applicable and alternative Vehicles available (if your preferred Vehicle is not available). You will then be able to confirm your reservation by making the required payment via the payment link contained in that Reservation Email using one of the approved Credit Cards. Your reservation is not accepted until such time as the Terms and the Privacy Policy have been accepted, the required payment has been made and each Driver has been validated by Karzoom. The Security Deposit will be charged against your Credit Card automatically before the commencement of the Rental Period;
6.2.13. We will also ask for your permission to communicate with you on other matters such as Karzoom offers, Karzoom news and other relevant updates – your permission is at your discretion.
The Rental Process
6.2.14. On the first day of the Rental Period, the Karzoom Account holder/Driver should arrive at the stated Rental Location (or agreed Collection Address) at the agreed time (start of the Rental Period).
6.2.15. If the Vehicle is subject to a drop off service, Karzoom or the Dealer will confirm a four (4) hour delivery window no less than 24 hours before delivery;
6.2.16. The Driver(s) must present the following to the Dealer or the agent delivering the Vehicle prior to the Vehicle being released to you:
a) A valid UK or EU Driving Licence in the name of the Driver(s) or other Driving Licence where approved in advance by Karzoom;
b) Confirmation email with booking reference for the Vehicle rental;
c) The Credit Card used for the payment of the Vehicle rental which must be in the name of the Karzoom Account holder/Driver.
6.2.17. Both the Dealer and Driver will conduct a “Walk Around” of the Vehicle to record any existing damage or conditions to the Vehicle on the Karzoom Application (via an “App” used by the Dealer) to the extent this has not already been documented. The Driver and Dealer will confirm that they are both satisfied with the condition of the Vehicle and any listed damages and photographs taken and stored on the Karzoom Application and detailed on the Rental Agreement. The Driver who has made the booking will then sign the Rental Agreement in the Application with an electronic signature. By signing, the Driver and any Additional Drivers, are again reconfirming that you agree to accept the Terms and the Privacy Policy. You are also agreeing that you will also be responsible for all costs, fees and charges arising – whether they’re down to you or any Additional Drivers. In certain circumstances (e.g. risk of no internet), we may ask you to sign a paper version of the Rental Agreement instead of the electronic version.
6.2.18. The Rental Agreement will then be emailed to the Driver’s email address that is associated with their Karzoom Account. Karzoom and the Dealer will also be notified by email. If a paper version was signed further to Clause 6.2.16, the electronic version will note that a paper version has been signed and an image of the signature will be attached thereto).
6.2.19. We will contact you no less than 7 days prior to the Return Date as set out in the Rental Agreement and you will be required to:
a) return the Vehicle or allow the Vehicle to be collected by the Return Date in accordance with the Terms of your Rental Agreement;
b) complete an exchange of Vehicle and enter into a new Rental Agreement in respect of the new Vehicle (on the Terms set out therein), or;
c) enter in to a new Rental Agreement in respect of the Vehicle (on the Terms set out therein which may have different Rental Fees, or other Terms, to the previous Agreement based on matters including the condition and mileage of the Vehicle). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Clause 6.2.19 c), we may, in our absolute discretion, exercise our rights under Clause 19 Change of Vehicle, and/or may require you to follow the process described in a) or b) above. If a new Rental Agreement is being entered into for the Vehicle, then the following process will be followed to include: (a) Recording the mileage of the Vehicle and adhering to the requirements of Clause 16.1.6; (b) Stating the condition of the car and adhering to the requirements of Clause 6.2.17; and (c) Providing us with any changes to your Driver Profile that may impact the provision of insurance in adherence with the requirements of Clause 15.
d) extend the agreement in accordance with Clause 6.2.21 and Clause 6.2.22 subject to any one Rental Period (including any extensions to that Rental Period) not exceeding 85 days in total in accordance with Clause 6.2.6)
6.2.20. The options available under Clause 6.2.19 b), c) and d) will not be available 4 days or less prior to the Return Date, unless approved by Karzoom in writing.
6.2.21. If the Driver wishes to extend the Rental Period, the Driver must request an extension (“Extension”) by contacting us as soon as possible (and no less than 5 days prior to the Return Date) to confirm whether an Extension is possible and the applicable charges. Those charges must be paid before the Extension of the Rental Period is authorised. Failure to extend the Rental Period without prior authorisation and the associated payment of the Rental Fees will, subject to Clause 14, make the Driver subject to late return charges as detailed in these Terms.
6.2.22. No Extension of the Rental Agreement is allowed where there is a change in the Driver or Additional Drivers circumstances that will impact their Driver Profile for insurance purposes. In this case, a new Rental Agreement will have to be requested in accordance with 6.2.19 c).
6.2.23. The Driver agrees that if an Extension to the Rental Agreement is authorised, that they remain bound by all Terms agreed as part of the original Rental Agreement. The Driver also agrees to share any change in circumstance (Driver or any Additional Driver) that would change their insurance profile as part of any Extension request.
6.2.24. The Driver is required to return the Vehicle in the same condition as when the Driver took receipt of it, and with the agreed level of fuel in the Vehicle (note – the Driver should return the Vehicle with no less fuel than when the Vehicle was collected to avoid any fuel costs being charged in accordance with these Terms). For the avoidance of doubt, where an electric vehicle (“EV”) is provided to the Driver, the Vehicle should be returned with the equivalent battery level as when the Vehicle was first collected.
6.2.25. At the conclusion of the Rental Period, the Driver will return the Vehicle to the agreed location at the specified time. Both parties will conduct another “Walk Around” and inspect the condition of the Vehicle, checking off the condition of the Vehicle, recording the return mileage and the return fuel level. Photographs of the Vehicle will be taken so as to record the condition of the Vehicle on return and will be further detailed on the Rental Agreement. In the event the Vehicle has incurred damage, been returned without sufficient fuel, needs to be valeted or the mileage is over the agreed limit for the Rental Period, the Dealer will record this information via the Application and you will remain liable for any applicable Additional Charges and any associated Administration Charges and you provide your express permission to charge these costs against your Credit Card or as a charge against your Security Deposit.
6.2.26. If the Vehicle is subject to a collection service, Karzoom or the Dealer will confirm a four (4) hour collection window no less than 24 hours before collection.
6.2.27. In the event the Driver is dis-satisfied with the outcome of the Rental, they may open a complaint by contacting Karzoom via the Contact Us page at www.karzoom.co.uk.
6.2.28. If an Additional Driver is added to the reservation at a later stage (via a booking amendment), they may not drive the Vehicle until they have been validated and authorised by Karzoom, which takes a maximum of 48 hours to complete and paid any additional charges that may be applicable.
6.2.29. Where we find that the Driver has become liable for any costs, fees or charges under these Terms or for a failure to comply with these Terms, we reserve the right to charge the Credit Card used by the Driver or as a charge against your Security Deposit for those costs, fees or charges along with any associated Administration Charges.
6.2.30. We may ask the Drivers to provide feedback and a review of the applicable Dealer/Vehicle and provide a score rating on their experience. By accepting these Terms, you explicitly confirm your agreement for Karzoom to contact you for that feedback.
6.2.31. We will do our best to contact you if we find any personal belongings in the Vehicle (“Lost Property”). Any items containing personal or financial information will be disposed of within 28 days in accordance with our Privacy Policy, as will all other items.

In the case of a Failed Collection Attempt you will continue to incur charges for each Rental Day on which you retain possession of the Vehicle after the date of the Failed Collection Attempt until such Vehicle is successfully returned to us. We will use reasonable endeavours to arrange another suitable collection date.
