Audio Transcript- Clark's bicycle hire

Audio transcription.
KEITH: Hello….. Clark’s Cycle HIre. My name’s Keith. How can I help you?
JAN:    Oh hello. I saw your ad in the local paper, and as I’m thinking of doing some cycling I’m wondering what kinds of bikes you have, and what your prices are like.
KEITH: Well, we hire out two main types of machine: touring and mountain bikes. Are you likely to be riding off- road, do you think? 
JAN:  No, I’ll probably be sticking to roads and country lanes, so a touring bike would be best, I think.
KEITH: Right , well the rate will be £50 for a week, or £14 per day.
JAN:  So it’s a lot cheaper to rent by the week.
KEITH: Yes, definitely, though it’s important to bring the bike back on time. Otherwise I’m afraid we have to charge a late return fee. 
JAN:  And how much is that?
KEITH: For each additional hour it’s one pound twenty-five.
JAN:  So if you were a day late it would cost another £30 ?
KEITH:  Yes, that’s right.
JAN:  I’d make sure I didn’t do that then!
KEITH: I should also point out there’s a deposit, which you get back when you return the bicycle. In good condition, of course. On touring models it’s £60. 
JAN:  Is there anything else I’d have to pay?
KEITH: NO that’s it. Though if you’re planning to ride fairly long distances you might like to have one or two accessories.
JAN:  Such as?
KEITH: Well, for another £5 we can supply lightweight bags, either panniers or the handlebar sort. It’s amazing how much they can carry, and the way they’re designed means they don’t get in the way when you’re riding. 
JAN: Well, I’ll see. But what about essential things like a pump, and a repair kit? I wouldn’t have to pay extra for those would I?
KEITH: No no, there’s no charge for things like that, or for a lock. It's a good strong one, too. Just make sure you don’t lose the key?
JAN: That reminds me: what about insurance? What happens if someone steals the bike, in spite of the wonderful lock?
KEITH: Didn't I mention that? I should’ve told you that’s included in the rental, too.
JAN:  And it covers everything, does it?
KEITH: Er…. it covers you against theft of the bike, yes. As long as it’s securely locked at the time. You’d have to pay part of any individual claim, though.
JAN:  How much?
KEITH: If the bike were stolen and not recovered, you’d be liable for the first £100.
JAN: Hmm. so, if I do go ahead and rent one, how do I pay? BY cheque, or would it have to be cash.
KEITH: Neither, I’m afraid. We can only accept credit card bookings. Otherwise we’d have to ask our customers for the full value of the machine as a deposit. 
JAN:  I’ve got a VIsa in my name. Would that be Ok?
KEITH: Sure. 
JAN: So if I want to have a look at the bikes, how do I find you? I live near the university, by the way.
KEITH: Right. First you take Woods Road as far as the main police station….
JAN: I know it. It’s right next to the park
KEITH: Yes, that’s it. And after the police station there's a turning to the right called Oak Street….
JAN: At the big supermarket?
KEITH: No, it’s before then. It’s actually between the police station and a garage on the other side.
JAN: Ok. 
KEITH: So you go down Oak Street until you reach the health centre on the right. If you get to a pub called the Maple Leaf you’ve gone too far. Alright?
JAN: Yes, I've got that.
KEITH:  Now opposite the health centre there’s a pharmacy, and we’re just behind that.
JAN: Ok, fine. I'll try to call over sometime tomorrow.
KEITH: Great. See you then.
JAN: Bye.
