Terms and conditions of rental contracts

 

Lessee’s rights

Cars can be rented to a person aged at least 20 years and having a driver’s experience of at least 1 year.
Renting a car requires that you show a driver’s license, a passport/ID card, and have a bank card that allows booking the security deposit (Maestro debit cards are not suitable for booking).
Required security deposit amounts start from 100.- EUR.
The deductible for the hull insurance is 400.- EUR.
All our vehicles have free-of-charge roadside help package valid all over the Europe. In case of a technical breakdown, the car will be taken to the nearest brand service outlet where the breakdown will be repaired as soon as possible.
In case of a technical breakdown of the vehicle, we will not cover the expenses of your trip being interrupted (hotel bookings, expenses related to continuing the trip / returning home, etc.). If the technical breakdown has not been caused by the client’s negligence, we will cover the expenses for returning the car. We definitely recommend getting travel insurance with trip interruption cover, because then the insurance provider will cover the expenses of your trip being interrupted.
Delivering and collecting the car within Tallinn city centre costs 20.- EUR.
The vehicle is handed over to the lessee with a full tank and it must be returned with a full tank as well.

The vehicle is handed over in a clean state. External wash and internal cleaning is included in the rental price. If the vehicle needs dry-cleaning, the lessee will have to pay 100.- EUR for the cleaning.
