Prepayment
When we prepare a reservation for a new customer, we ask a prepayment of about 15 % of the total car rental rate.

You can pay the prepayment by credit card (VISA, Eurocard/Mastercard or American Express).

For this purpose there is a Secure Online Payment System running on our internet server which allows you to submit your Credit Card Data using the safe browser mode.

Your personal access key will be sent by e-mail together with the reservation for your rental car as a link that you can click in order to connect straight to our security server.

Bank Transfer
In case that you do not have a credit card or if you do not like to use it, the prepayment for the hired car can be sent by bank transfer as well (inside Europe by SEPA transfer).

We will send our bank account data on request.

Payment
The rest of the car rental rate for the agreed-upon rental period is due upon delivery of the rental car at the airport, at the port, or at your hotel.

You can pay by credit card as above, or in cash money (in Euro). For payment in cash money we will grant a cash payment discount which will be shown in the rates calculation that we send with the reservation for your rented car by e-mail.

Cancellation
In case that you need to cancel your rental car reservation the prepayment will not be refunded, but will be credited to your customer account for future use. There will be no additional cancellation costs or fees.

However, we ask our customers to notify us of any cancellations as early as possible, in order to allow us to offer the reserved rental car to someone else in time.

You can have your rental car delivered from 8:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. (23:00 hrs). Return is possible at any time.

Nighttime Delivery
For delivery during the night hours from 11:00 p.m. until 8:00 a.m. we will send at a 20.00 up to 30.00 Euros night charge one of our employees to the airport, to the port or to your hotel who will deliver your rented car to you.

Reservations always refer to a group of vehicles as shown in the current ▶ table of vehicles.

Requests for certain car models will be considered as far as possible. However delivery of a specific rental car model cannot be guaranteed.

Option #1: Return car same as collected
Cars usually come with at least 1/4 tank filled. This will be enough to go to the nearest petrol station.

Option #2: Collect Full & Return Empty *)
Buy the initial tank filling and return the car empty. No refund for unused fuel.

*) On request we can deliver your rental car with a full tank, and you return it empty. The fuel and a modest servicing fee are in this case to be paid together with the rental rate.
