Cenvat credit on car hire charges

Dear All!

Please clarify me in this regard. A Pvt Ltd is engaged in O&M business. For travelling to the sites, the company hires motor vehicle from B Co (individual/firm). B Co is not registered with service tax. Since, this falls under reverse charge mechanism, A Pvt Ltd pays 40% of service tax (its portion of 12.36%) and avails credit. 

Is the company eligible for cenvat credit?

Kindly clarify with the relevant provisions.

Cenvat credit cannot be availed on car hire charges since there is a specific restriction in CCR.  Refer Rule 2(l) - input services defn.

Revert for further clarification if any.
