* 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).

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.

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.

All drivers must have held their licences for at least 2 years from the date of pick-up. 

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.

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.

Additional drivers must be approved and specified on the Rental Agreement Form. You must not let anyone else drive the vehicle.

All additional drivers must meet our age, driving licence and ID requirements (additional driver surcharges may also apply).

If we agree to additional drivers, any fees and surcharges will be stated on your Rental Agreement Form.

You will be responsible for all costs whether they're down to you or your additional drivers. It is your responsibility to make sure all additional drivers read the terms set out in the Rental Agreement carefully before they drive the vehicle.

We charge a fee for every Additional Driver we allow to drive the vehicle. The price is EUR 6.10 per day, per driver (charged for a max 10 days to cover rental up to 28 days).

Fuel charges - traditional fuel (diesel or petrol) and hybrid vehicles 
Refuelling options
Fuel Up Front - this is charged at the average fuel price in SLOVENIA at the start of your rental period. This is only available where you have added it as an option at booking stage, or asked to add it to your rental prior to you collecting the vehicle. If you have added this option, the cost will be on your Rental Agreement Form. However, you don't get a refund for any fuel you don't use.

Pay on Return - If you are renting a "connected car", you will be required to pay for fuel so as to ensure that the vehicle has the same amount as when you collected it (this is automatically logged and is calculated to the nearest litre). If you are renting any other traditional fuel or hybrid vehicle, you will be required to pay for fuel so as to ensure that the vehicle has the same amount as when you collected it based on the factory-installed fuel gauge rounded down to the nearest eighth (1/8) of a tank (costs are based on the manufacturer's stated fuel tank capacity). We charge between 1.5 and three times the average fuel price in SLOVENIA at the end of the rental period. The price per litre will be stated on your Rental Agreement Form.

Drop offs at a different location must be agreed with us in advance. Please contact us if you would like to understand what additional fee will apply to a one-way rental in circumstances where it didn't form part of your original rental agreement.

If you did not request a one-way rental but return the vehicle to a different location, you will be charged a one-way fee at the 'pay at location' prices available on the day you return the vehicle .

The General Conditions provide more information about what happens if you want to extend your rental, or if you do not return the vehicle to us as agreed. 

The late return processing fee is EUR 10.00 per day.
