HCL Car Rental

At HCL Car Rental, we are committed to maintaining full transparency in how we present, promote, and advertise our car rental services. This Advertiser Disclosure explains how our marketing content, promotional offers, pricing displays, and partnerships may influence the information shown on our website or associated marketing channels.

Our goal is to provide clear, accurate, and honest details so customers can make informed rental decisions, without hidden influence, bias, or misleading claims.

1. Promotional Content & Sponsored Listings
   HCL Car Rental may occasionally promote or highlight certain rental vehicles, partner services, or limited-time offers on our website, email newsletters, digital ads, or social channels.
   
   Sponsored placements may include:
   • Highlighted vehicle categories
   • Discounted promotional rates
   • Seasonal travel offers
   • Featured partner services
   • Add-on product recommendations
   If a listing or promotion is sponsored or receives enhanced visibility, we clearly mark it as such.
   However, sponsorship never affects the fairness, accuracy, or integrity of the information we present.
2. Paid Partnerships & Third-Party Affiliations
   We may collaborate with third-party marketplaces, travel comparison platforms, insurance providers, airport-affiliated services, and booking partners. These partnerships may involve:
   • Referral commissions
   • Advertising fees
   • Featured positioning
   • Co-branded promotions
   • Access to exclusive rates
   While HCL Car Rental may receive compensation from these partners, such compensation does not affect the final rental price you pay unless explicitly stated in the offer details.
   We only work with reputable partners who align with our customer service standards.
3. Accuracy of Advertised Rates & Availability
   Advertised rates displayed in:
   • Online ads
   • Email campaigns
   • SMS notifications
   • Social media posts
   • Affiliate websites
   • Our own website
   are based on availability at the time the promotion was created and may change due to:
   • Seasonal demand
   • Location-specific pricing
   • Vehicle availability
   • Taxes and government fees
   • Length of rental
   • Booking date and time
   We strive to ensure rate accuracy across all platforms; however, prices may vary, and promotions may expire without notice.
   Final pricing is always displayed before checkout.
4. Discount Codes, Vouchers, and Promotional Offers
   HCL Car Rental may issue:
   • Discount codes
   • Loyalty coupons
   • Membership deals
   • First-time renter promotions
   • Seasonal discounts
   • Early-booking incentives
   These promotions:
   • Are subject to terms and conditions
   • May require minimum rental durations
   • Cannot always be combined with other offers
   • May vary by location or vehicle type
   • May have blackout dates
   Any compensation we receive from promotional partners does not impact your eligibility for a discount.
5. Affiliate Links & Referral Programs
   Some pages on our website or marketing channels may contain affiliate links. If you click these links and complete a booking, we may receive a commission from the affiliate partner.
   Affiliate commissions:
   • Do not increase the cost of your rental
   • Do not influence the ranking of vehicles or locations
   • Do not affect the neutrality of our recommendations
   We disclose affiliate associations where applicable.
6. User Reviews, Testimonials & Endorsements
   Reviews displayed on our website or other platforms may come from:
   • Verified renters
   • Partner platforms
   • Voluntary customer submissions
   We may feature positive customer feedback, but we never publish fabricated or paid reviews.
   If a testimonial is part of a paid promotional collaboration, it will be clearly labeled as “Sponsored” or “Paid Endorsement.”
   
   All reviews represent genuine renter experiences or promotional partnerships disclosed according to FTC guidelines.
7. Sponsored Content on Social Media & Ads
   HCL Car Rental may run targeted ads on:
   • Google Ads
   • Facebook
   • Instagram
   • YouTube
   • TikTok
   • Third-party websites
   Some content may be created in partnership with influencers, creators, or brand ambassadors.
   Whenever a piece of content includes paid promotion, we ensure that it is tagged with:
   • “Sponsored”
   • “Paid partnership with HCL Car Rental”
   • “Advertisement”
   to remain compliant with marketing transparency regulations.
8. Non-Influence Guarantee for Pricing & Policies
   Advertising relationships never impact:
   • Our rental policies
   • Our pricing structure
   • Our customer service standards
   • The availability of vehicles
   • The outcome of claims or disputes
   • How we calculate taxes, surcharges, or fees
   Every customer receives the same pricing consideration and service conditions, regardless of marketing source.
9. Market Competitiveness & Comparison Statements
   If HCL Car Rental makes advertising claims such as:
   • “Cheapest rates”

   • “Best value rentals”
   • “Exclusive deals”
   such statements are based on:
   • Current available rates
   • Market research
   • Partner-provided pricing
   • Real-time comparisons
   These claims refer to the period during which they were evaluated and may not apply at all times.
10. Advertising Errors & Corrections
    We work diligently to ensure accuracy across all marketing materials.
    However, errors may occur due to:
    • Typographical issues
    • Technical system delays

    If an advertising error is identified, HCL Car Rental reserves the right to:
    • Correct the information
