Rent a Car at Zagreb Airport (ZAG)

Cash is only accepted as payment at time of vehicle return.

Damage Waiver

In most cases, Damage Waiver is provided with the vehicle as standard. If it is included, it will be stated on your Rental Agreement Form (and in your booking confirmation).

Damage Waiver reduces the amount you pay for each clearly separate incident of damage if the vehicle is damaged (or the amount you pay to replace any keys, accessories or vehicle documents that are lost, stolen or damaged).

The amount you pay for each clearly separate incident of damage will be the lower of a) the applicable cost payable under the Theft, Loss and Damages Policy; or b) the excess stated on your Rental Agreement Form.

Super Damage Waiver (SCDW)

An excess reduction product which reduces your damage waiver excess to zero (or, if higher, the amount shown on your Rental Agreement Form).

Theft Protection waiver (TP)

In most cases, Theft Protection waiver is provided with the vehicle as standard. If it is included, it will be stated on your Rental Agreement Form (and in your booking confirmation).

Theft Protection waiver reduces the amount you pay if the vehicle is stolen during the rental period.

The amount you pay will be the lower of a) the applicable cost payable under the Theft, Loss and Damages Policy; or b) the excess stated on your Rental Agreement Form.

Super Theft Protection

Documents from the vehicle must not be left unattended inside the vehicle, as doing so is legally prohibited and considered a misdemeanour. The Croatian law requires the driver to carry a valid driver's license or a certificate confirming the submission of an application for its issuance, a vehicle registration certificate, an insurance policy, and a European accident report. The driver must present these documents upon request by a police officer.

Damage/Loss/Repair Processing Fee

Please be informed that police report is mandatory for any damages bigger than 15 cm bump or scratch, regardless of your waiver level.
If the customer didn’t call the police and the customer does not have valid police report the damage waiver will not be applied.

If you have a Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and the vehicle is damaged the amount you must pay for the damage will be reduced to no more than the excess stated on your rental agreement, meaning you’ll pay for the damage plus a damage processing fee of EUR 60.00. For keys, any accessories or any vehicle documents that are damaged or lost through your own fault or that of any of your additional drivers or passengers, the amount you have to pay is between EUR 200.00 and EUR 600.00.

On the ground vehicle idle time will be charged to every customer that has damaged the vehicle and the vehicle needed a repair. That charge will be in amount of EUR 60.00.

If you have Theft Protection (TP) and the vehicle is stolen or lost through your own fault or that of any of your additional drivers or passengers, the amount you must pay will be reduced to no more than the excess stated on your rental agreement, meaning you’ll pay for the damage plus a processing fee of EUR 60.00.

What payment cards do we accept?
We accept:

•   American Express (excluding American Express Traveller's Cheque cards)
•   Visa credit
•   MasterCard credit
•   Avis-issued charge cards / voucher

Each rental driver should present a valid credit card under his name. Security deposit is required for all vehicle categories. The security deposit amount release depends on the credit card provider's terms, Rental Viribus d.o.o. is not responsible for releasing the security deposit.

We don't accept Diners cards, Visa Electron cards, Maestro cards, V-Pay cards, Cirrus cards, JCB cards even if they carry the Visa or MasterCard logo or any other cards not listed above.

We also do not accept cash.

Unless confirmed otherwise, the amount of the pre-authorisation taken on pick-up of the rental vehicle is calculated as follows:

The vehicle rental price + preauthorization amount which depends on the vehicle group (range between EUR 1,100.00 - 5,000.00) 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).

The pre-authorisation amount can be used 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.

In relation to certain high value vehicles, we may require you to provide us with two payment cards for the purposes of the pre-authorisation. Where this is the case, this will be confirmed when making a booking.

If you'd like more details, please call our customer support team or ask a member of our team.

Debit cards are accepted only if the debit card can be used for pre-authorisation before we release the vehicle to you.

Public liability insurance is in accordance with the insurance laws of the country. Customer may inquire at the time of rental for additional information of the benefits, conditions and acceptance.

Any waiver must be discussed directly with the location upon arrival.

To drive our vehicles, all drivers need to be at least 21 years old and have held a full, valid driving licence for at least 1 year at the start of your rental. If you or any of your drivers are under 24 when you pick up the vehicle, you will each have to pay a young driver surcharge. To rent vehicles of vehicle category H minimum age is 24 years old.
