  1. Uber Rent Terms
    1. These Uber Rent Terms and Conditions (“Uber Rent Terms”) govern your access and use of the portal made available by Uber and powered by CarTrawler or third party car rental agencies, that enable users to search for rental cars through a third party booking engine powered by CarTrawler or car rental agency and make car rental reservations with third party providers (“Service Providers”) of rental cars and applicable products and services through the Uber platform (“Uber Rent”). Uber is not responsible for the products and services provided by third parties, which in this case includes the web application powered by CarTrawler or third party car rental agencies, the cars being offered for rent or any applicable products or services, or for the terms and conditions (including financial terms) under which those products and services are offered. Uber will not verify and cannot guarantee that all information is accurate, complete, or correct, nor can we be held responsible for any errors (including manifest and typographical errors), any interruptions (whether due to any (temporary and/or partial) breakdown, repair, upgrade, or maintenance of our platform or otherwise), inaccurate, misleading, or untrue information, nor non-delivery of information.
    2. Please read these Uber Rent Terms carefully prior to using Uber Rent. By using Uber Rent you confirm your agreement to be bound by the Uber Rent Terms. If you do not agree to the Uber Rent Terms, you may not access or use Uber Rent.
    3. Uber may immediately terminate these Uber Rent Terms or Uber Rent with respect to you, or generally cease offering or deny access to Uber Rent or any portion thereof, at any time for any reason.
    4. Capitalised terms used in this Uber Rent Terms but not defined have the meanings given to them in the UK General Terms of Use.
  2. Other terms apply
    1. Where you choose to use and access Uber Rent, the UK General Terms of Use apply.
    2. Your access and use of Uber Rent is also governed by CarTrawler’s Terms and Conditions, as well as all other applicable terms, conditions, policies, limitations and requirements, including, if you rent a car through Uber Rent, the terms and conditions of any Service Providers governing that rental.
    3. If, and then only to the extent that the UK General Terms of Use, or other applicable terms are inconsistent with these Uber Rent Terms, these Uber Rent Terms will prevail only with respect to Uber Rent.
  3. Service Provider terms and conditions
    1. By using Uber Rent, you enter into a direct, legally binding contractual relationship with the Service Provider with whom you make a reservation or purchase a product or service, under the Service Provider's applicable terms and conditions.
    2. Uber acts solely as an intermediary between you and the Service Provider, transmitting the relevant details of your reservation to the Service Provider. You agree to comply with all terms and conditions imposed by any Service Provider with whom you select to rent a car, including, but not limited to, payment of all amounts when due, and compliance with the Service Provider’s rules and restrictions regarding availability, fares, and use of products or services.
    3. We strongly advise that you read these Service Provider terms and conditions carefully.
    4. Uber does not provide the car rental service and is not a party to your contract with the Service Provider. You acknowledge that your ability to obtain car rentals through the use of Uber Rent does not establish Uber as a (i) rental car company; (ii) a provider of transportation, logistics or delivery services, or (iii) as a transportation carrier. You further acknowledge that all such car rental, transportation, or logistics services are provided by third party car rental agencies or their independent or franchise operators who are not employed by Uber or any of its affiliates. You agree that Uber has no responsibility or liability to you related to any such Third Party Services other than as expressly set forth in these Uber Rent Terms.

    3. Service Providers will process your personal data in accordance with their own privacy practices and processes. Uber is not responsible for these and do not control the privacy and security of your information that may be held by Service Providers.
  5. Content displayed on Uber Rent
    1. Service Providers may advertise, market, sell, promote, and/or offer, as applicable, cars, goods and services for rent, through which you can discover, search, compare, and make a reservation. These are Third Party Services under the UK General Terms of Use.
    2. The information displayed on Uber Rent is based on the information provided to us by CarTrawler or car rental agencies and fulfilled by Service Providers. As such, although we will use reasonable skill and care in offering Uber Rent, we will not verify and cannot guarantee that all information is accurate, complete, or correct, nor can we be held responsible for any errors including manifest and typographical errors, any interruptions, repair, upgrade, or maintenance of our platform or otherwise, inaccurate, misleading, or untrue information, nor non-delivery of information. Each Service Provider remains responsible at all times for the accuracy, completeness, and correctness of the information, including the rates, fees, prices, policies, conditions, availability and other relevant information that gets displayed on Uber Rent.

    2. All rentals will require prepayment. You may choose to prepay for the rental car in the Uber App using a payment method associated with your account.

    4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at a Service Provider’s sole discretion, a Service Provider may refuse to rent a car, cancel a rental reservation after acceptance, or attempt to arrange alternate scheduling or reservation plans for any reason consistent with the Service Provider’s terms and conditions. In the event that you dispute any decision made by a Service Provider regarding your car rental, you agree to work directly with the Service Provider to resolve the dispute. Uber has no responsibility or liability for the decisions made by Service Providers.
