NECESSARY DOCUMENTS

To rent a car the customer must present a valid drivers license, personal ID (i.e. ID card) and a valid bank card.
Only the person renting the car is authorized to drive the car i.e. the rental contract acts as the power of attorney.
Additional drivers can be added for a fee.
All drivers under the terms of the rental contract must be at least 25 years of age and have at least 2-years of driving experience. For ages below 30 we require longer driving experience and require higher rental fees.

PRICE

Rental prices include VAT, milage according to rental period, regular maintenance, insurance and 24h roadside assistance.
Rental price does not include charging unless agreed on otherwise in rental offer / contract.
Rental prices are computed based on rent duration i.e. longer rental periods have a lower cost per day.

INSURANCE

Rental prices include the mandatory insurance.
Rental prices include also comprehensive insurance (renters deductible is 1000 €)
In case of theft the deductible is up to 20% of the cars insurance value assuming renter returns keys and documents.
Deductible is taken into account for every insurance case. If multiple cases occur during the rental period, then they are treated as separate cases.
The tires and rims are not insured and renter takes full material responsibility for damages. The cars have alloygator rim protectors to reduce potential damages to rims from curbs.
The keys and documents are not insured and in case of their loss or damage the customer is obliged to cover all costs due to their replacment.

PAYMENT TERMS

The rental price (including extras) is pre-paid before the start of the rental period. The final accounting and corrections are done at the end of the rental period based on the actual duration.
It is possible to pay by credit or debit cards as well as direct bank transfer. It is also possible to pay by cash, but it is disfavored.
In case the customer returns the car before the original end date, then the excess payment is not returned unless agreed upon differently.
If the customer is late in payment in any expense according ot the rental agreement, then they are obliged to pay a late fee of 0.5% on the unpaid amount of every calendar day they are late.

DEPOSIT

The customer must present a valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) with a high enough credit limit when renting the car.
Before the rental period starts we book a deposit of 1000€. We also accept a bank transfer as deposit if requested.
The deposit is used for possible damages as well as fines and other claims from third parties and is returned after the rental period ends and the car has been overseen for damages.
In general if there are no claims the deposit is released or refunded within 1-3 working days.
Owner of the bank card is set as the renter in the rental contract.

RENTAL PERIOD

The rental period is accounted as:

Day = 12:00 – 09:00
Week = 7 days
Month = 30 days

CAR HANDOVER

The car is given to the customer with a full battery (at least 80% charged), clean and in a good technical state
During the handover we sign a handover document stating any prior damages to the car. By signing this document the customer agrees to the state of the car as described.
When the car is returned we assume battery charged to at least the same level what we gave the car at unless a separate agreement has been reached
We accept return of the car with partial battery if it’s returned earlier by 1h (50+% battery SoC), 2h (below 50%). Charging fees apply.
During the return the car has to be reasonably clean. We have accounted for a basic car wash and vacuuming post-rental, which the customer needn’t do.

The rental price includes milage as per offer or contract.
The standard restriction is 250km / day, but not more than 2000km per month
