Usually you must return the car on the agreed date, time, and to the location listed in your rental agreement, unless you received permission to change it.​
The vehicle should be returned in the same condition, with the required fuel level (for example, full-to-full if that was your plan), otherwise cleaning or refuelling fees may apply.
Returning to a different branch is often possible, but must normally be agreed in advance and can involve a one‑way or drop fee, especially between cities or countries.
Many locations have a short grace period (for example around 29 minutes) after the scheduled return time; after that, hourly or an extra rental day may be charged.​ If you return the car after hours, the vehicle is usually only checked in on the next business day, and you remain responsible until then.

Security deposits for luxury and exotic cars are higher than for standard vehicles and are charged at pick‑up; the exact amount depends on the model and location.​ Rental rates can include additional conditions such as minimum rental period and special fees for delivery or one‑way rentals of exotic vehicles.
Additional drivers must meet the same age and licence requirements and may incur extra daily fees, with some exceptions for spouse/partner depending on local rules.​ Branches can impose specific restrictions (for example, where you can drive, mileage limits, or prohibition on using the car on track days), so the exact rental agreement from the chosen location should always be checked before booking.

Price depends on rental duration, which services you add, vehicle class (economy, SUV, luxury, exotic, sport car etc), rental location (airport usually more expensive), season and how early you book.

We accept all available payments regarding local legislation.

A car rental deposit is a security amount held by the company (often via a credit card pre-authorization hold) to cover potential damages, unpaid fees, fines, or cleaning costs during your rental period. It is not a direct charge but a temporary block on your card's available credit, released fully if the car is returned undamaged and on time.
Requires a credit card in the driver's name with sufficient limit; debit cards may work but often need higher holds or cash equivalents.
Released 1–30 days post-return, depending on inspection and your bank; faster with no issues.

Can usually be added mid-rental at the branch, prorated by days driven, but both parties must appear.
Unauthorized drivers void insurance; always list them to avoid liability.

Rental cars are generally safe, as they undergo regular maintenance checks, but safety can vary by fleet age, location, and inspection standards.

Early returns are usually permitted without penalty, unused days are not refundable.
Extensions need confirmation from the renting branch before the original end date, subject to vehicle availability.
Late returns beyond grace period incur hourly/daily fees or next lost reservation coverage.

In case of a collision with a rental car, prioritize safety, secure the scene, and follow these steps immediately to protect yourself legally and financially.
Stop the car safely, turn on hazard lights, and ensure no further danger; move to the roadside if possible.

Do not leave the scene; exchange details with other parties (names, contacts, insurance, license plates).
Take photos/videos of the damage (all angles), scene, vehicles, and injuries; note weather/time.
File a police report (mandatory for insurance); get the official number/reference.
Await towing/repair instructions from the company; do not authorize unauthorized repairs.
