Third Party Liability cover does not cover any death or injury suffered by the driver or any passengers of our vehicle or any damage to personal items in our vehicle.

Are there any times when third party liability cover would not apply?

If the law requires us to provide you with third party liability cover, the minimum cover required by law will still apply but we, or our insurer, may seek to recover our costs from you if the accident was caused by:

• By you breaking the contract (for example allowing someone we had not approved drive the vehicle of driving whilst under the influence of alcohol, drugs or any other unlawful substance),
• By you breaking the law
• As a result of your negligence or recklessness.

Driving Licences

Do I need to bring my driving licence with me?

Yes. All drivers must bring all parts of their valid driving licence with them. They must bring both their driving licence and either an international driving licence or an official Czech or English translation, by a notary, of their driving licence if:

• a driving licence was issued in Europe and you are renting in a country outside Europe
• Or a driving licence was issued in a non-European country, and you are renting outside that country
• Or a driving licence was issued in a non-roman alphabet like Arabic, Greek, Russian, Hebrew or Japanese.

Is there a minimum length I must have held my licence for?

Yes. All drivers must have held their licences for at least 6 months or 3 years for certain vehicles. If a licence does not show the driver has held it for the minimum period, then they must provide evidence, such as:

• Previous driving licences
• Or a letter from their driving licence authority stating that they have held it for this minimum period.

Do I need to bring proof of identification?

Yes, you must bring:

• the payment card that was used to make your booking. For some vehicles, two payment cards in your name will be required. One of these must be the payment card used to make your booking.
• photo ID featuring a recognisable photo taken in the last 10 years. We will accept your passport or driving licence if it contains a photo, a national identity card or any other form of government-issued identification.

Other requirements

Will I need to give a pre-authorisation or pay a security deposit?

Yes, you must give us a pre-authorisation on your payment card before we release the vehicle to you. A pre-authorisation holds money in your account.

What do I need to do to give a pre-authorisation or security deposit?

You’ll need to give us a payment card in your own name that has enough money available on it. Find out more: see the “Payments Options” section in this document.

How much is the pre-authorisation?
The amount of the pre-authorisation taken on pick-up of the rental vehicle is calculated as follows:
(The vehicle rental price* + EUR 200 (or if applicable, the equivalent amount in your local currency) MINUS (Any sum you have already paid when making a “Pay Now” booking)

* The "vehicle rental price" includes the vehicle rental cost and all optional extras you’ve requested, calculated at the start of the rental based on the intended length of the rental. For the avoidance of any doubt, any “Pay at Location” amount you owe in relation to the vehicle rental (including any optional extras) will be included as part of the pre-authorisation and will be charged to you at the end of the rental (using the card provided for the purposes of the pre-authorisation, unless agreed otherwise).

** If you buy our “Fuel Up Front” product, we will reduce the EUR 200 (or if applicable, the equivalent amount in your local currency) by the amount we charge you for the “Fuel Up Front” product

The EUR 200 (or if applicable, the equivalent amount in your local currency) is included as part of the pre-authorisation in case we have to charge you at the end of the rental for any of the following:
i. costs to refuel the vehicle (where relevant);
ii. additional rental charges in circumstances where you fail to return the vehicle or any optional extras at the end of the agreed rental period [or to the agreed return location];
iii. any additional charges or fines you incur relating to your use of the vehicle (which we have been notified of prior to you returning the vehicle, which will include, for example, charges relating to traffic violations); and/or
iv. costs incurred as a result of exceeding any relevant mileage restrictions.
Where the pre-authorisation we take does not cover the charges you incur, we will request you make a further payment for the additional amounts owed.

Fuel and hybrid vehicles

Should I bring the vehicle back with a full tank of fuel?

Yes. The vehicle will normally be supplied with a full tank of fuel. You must return it to us with the same amount of fuel it had in it when you picked it up – usually a full tank – as shown on the factory-installed fuel gauge. We recommend you fill up as close to the return location as you can on the return date, and keep the receipt to show us. If you don’t return the vehicle with a full tank – and you can’t show us a receipt for fuel – we will charge you.

Fuel Options

I plan to travel more than 120 kilometres, and want peace of mind, do you have a fuel option for me?

Yes, with Fuel Up Front you pay for a full tank of fuel, based on the manufacturer's stated fuel tank capacity for your vehicle – plus our costs of refuelling the vehicle for you. Then you just return the vehicle with whatever’s left in the tank (even if it’s virtually empty) so long as the engine still runs.

How do I calculate the cost of Fuel Up Front?

Depending on where you’re renting, we charge the average fuel price at the start of your rental period. However, you don’t get a refund for any fuel you don’t use.

Can I get Fuel up Front at any time?

No, if you want to take advantage of Fuel Up Front, you must ask for it during the booking process or when you pick up the vehicle.

I plan to travel less than 120 kilometres, do I still need to fill up?

Yes, often the fuel gauges stills look “full” so we ask you to fill up the tank near to the return location and show us a copy of the receipt. If you don’t have time to fill up the tank, or can’t show us a receipt, we will apply EZ Fuel to cover our costs of refuelling the vehicle for you.

How much is EZ Fuel?

Depending on where you’re renting, you pay of fixed fee of between € 18.00 and € 21.43.

What are my options if I don’t return the vehicle full and haven’t bought Fuel up Front?

Pay on Return will apply if you have driven more than 120 kilometres and:

• Don’t buy Fuel Up Front
• Don’t return the vehicle with a full tank

You pay for fuel based on the factory-installed fuel gauge rounded down to the nearest eighth (1/8) of a tank. This is based on the manufacturer’s stated fuel tank capacity.

We charge between 1.5 and two times the average fuel price at the end of the rental period. The price per litre will be stated on your rental agreement. This charge covers our cost of driving to the nearest petrol station at short notice, and potentially delaying the next customer’s rental.

Electric vehicles

How much battery charge should I return an electric vehicle with?

You must return the vehicle with at least a 70% battery charge, or the same % battery charge as it had at time of pick-up.

What am I charged if I fail to return an electric vehicle with the required 70% battery charge, or the same % battery charge as it had at time of pick-up?

We charge a fixed amount dependent on the battery life showing on the factory-installed battery gauge. This is the “Pay on Return” rate. The amounts charged are set out below:

Battery Charge	Fixed Cost (inclusive of VAT)
If you return the electric vehicle with 70% or more battery charge.	No Cost.
If you return the electric vehicle with between 11% - 69% battery charge.	CZK 574.63
If you return the electric vehicle with 10% or less battery charge.	CZK 1,008.67

Many of our vehicles are provided with unlimited mileage. If a mileage allowance applies, it will be stated on your rental agreement and in your booking confirmation email. If you go over the mileage allowance, the price depends on the vehicle and location – but you can expect it to costs between € 0.24 and € 0.61 for every kilometre you’ve driven over the allowance. Your excess mileage charge will be stated on your rental agreement.

Roadside Assistance

What happens if I break down because of a mechanical failure?

All our vehicles are maintained to the manufacturer’s standards, and they’re roadworthy when you pick them up so mechanical failure in our vehicles is rare. So long as you’re using the vehicle in a country we’ve agreed to, we provide roadside assistance or recovery free of charge. You can only use our roadside assistance provider to help you. You’ll find their contact details inside the vehicle.
