Yes, the cost of this service is 35€. Free for rentals 6 or more days.

 

32. Can I take the car off the islands?
No, you are not allowed, not even within islands as you are not covered by our insurance.

 

33. Who can drive the car?
Only those who have been added as drivers on the signed rental agreement as main or additional drivers.

 

34. How do the 1-grace hours work?
The grace margin does NOT mean you can drop off your vehicle one hour after you said you were going to return it when you booked the rental. This one-hour grace margin has to do with the daily rate of your rental, as well as the grace time you get when you choose your return time in the booking checkout process before you get charged an extra rental day.

Nonetheless, this grace margin only applies to the very moment when you book the vehicle, which is the very moment when you decide the drop-off time. Once you have determined the drop-off time, you will have to return the vehicle before your rental agreement expires; otherwise, you will incur a breach of contract.

The customer is charged originally for one rental day. Since the customer ends up returning the vehicles later than stated in the rental agreement, he/she is charged a late return fee; although he/she is not charged for an extra rental day since the actual drop-off time is within the one-grace hour. Please note that at this time the customer has illegally driven the vehicle since the rental agreement expired. This situation in itself can cause legal problems for the client since he/she is driving without any insurance or coverage. Therefore, this is a question of legality more than our company trying to make things difficult.

 

35.  How can the contract be extended?
The client must call the office and ask if the contract can be extended. If the vehicle is available, the client must go through our office and pay the remaining amount for the extension period.
The vehicles must be returned at the time indicated in the contract. In the case of delay in the return of the vehicle, the amount corresponding to the extended period will be charged (10€ every delay hour).
The early return of the vehicle does not generate any refund.

 

36. What additional expenses can I have?
Fines: All fines will be borne by the driver. The client will receive them at his home. Charge for management of fines 40 euros. The invoiced amount is an administrative charge for the management of a fine. The administrative charge is independent of the amount of the fine.
If you park in the payment zone (blue zone) it is very important to put the ticket in a visible area of ​​the vehicle.
Fines for exceeding the permitted speed and fines for not paying in paid parking areas are very frequent. In the center of Palma, some streets are prohibited from entering and circulation is restricted to residents.
Cleaning: in the case of extreme dirt (food remains, sand, wet or damp upholstery, stains on upholstery, etc) or that requires special cleaning (smoke odor, difficult stains on the upholstery), a charge of €35 up to €250 is made.

 

37. Can I smoke in a rental vehicle?
