7.2 CHANGE BY THE RENTER

If the Renter is required to modify the reservation made by the Client according to the terms defined in article 5.2, the Renter undertakes to inform the Client immediately and to adjust the price of the rental.

A 50% refund will be made if the cancellation occurs more than 15 days before the start of the trip.

9.VEHICLE DELIVERY

9.1DATE AND PLACE OF DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE

The date and place of delivery of the Vehicle are those indicated on the booking confirmation issued by the Renter. The Vehicle is made available from 3 pm, except in the case where the Client subscribes the «early check-in» option or in the case of promotional or packaged offers for which the timetables will be specified on the booking confirmation. The Client can request more information by using the «reply» button on the quote or reservation sent by email.

However, if the Client has subscribed to the «Pick-up/Drop-off» option (Vehicle Drop-off and Pick-up), at the time of the validation of the Vehicle’s reservation and after confirmation by the Renter, the Vehicle may be made available at a time and place agreed between the Parties, as indicated in the booking confirmation.

A surcharge will then be charged to the Client. The rate of the surcharge varies according to the place where the Vehicle is available. If the option to take over the vehicle would give the Renter a delay in making the vehicle available in excess of the late check-out conditions, an additional day would be counted to the Client in addition to the option to take over the vehicle.

9.2 VEHICLE HANDLING

At the time of its takeover, a visit to the Vehicle is carried out at the end of which the Parties establish contradictorily an inventory of the «Departure» of the Vehicle (inside and outside) and of the equipment.

The signature thus affixed attests to:

  • that the Vehicle and the equipment provided comply with the reservation made, in good working order and presentation,
  • the date, time and place of pick-up of the Vehicle
  • the completeness of equipment and accessories,
  • the level of fuel available,
  • the number of kilometers travelled by the Vehicle when it was picked

As a result, the Client acknowledges and accepts that the signed «Departure» statement is the «Vehicle Pick-up Report».

In the event of any reservations regarding the condition of the Vehicle or the equipment supplied, these must be recorded in writing, jointly by the Renter and the Client (or the Driver).

Failing this, the Client will not be able to avail himself of it at the time of the return of the Vehicle.

The fact that the Client (or the Driver) takes delivery of the Vehicle systematically entails the transfer of legal custody of the Vehicle.

In case the Client takes delivery of the Vehicle without signing the inventory:

  • the Vehicle is considered to be in conformity with the confirmation of the reservation made by the Renter, since the Client can no longer subsequently refer to the non-compliance of the Vehicle to call into question all or part of the Rental Agreement,
  • the date and time chosen for the transfer of legal custody of the Vehicle are those contained in the confirmation of the reservation issued by the Renter, unless proven otherwise by the

In the event of unavailability of the Vehicle (in particular due to breakdown, accident or delay of the previous Client), the Renter undertakes  to return all payments to the Client. However, if the Renter is able to supply a vehicle of the same range, but of different decoration than that requested, this cannot constitute a reason for cancellation by the Client.

If the Client accepts the replacement vehicle and/or, if applicable, the delay, the Renter shall adjust the rental price according to the new Vehicle and its equipment (in the sense of a price reduction only) and according to the new rental period.

In the event that no alternative solution is found by the Renter, the rental will be cancelled, and all sums paid by the Client will be returned in full.

Under no circumstances may the Client claim damages to cover in particular:

  • the inability of the Renter to insure the rental over the expected period,
  • the delay in delivery of the Vehicle,
  • the replacement of the Reserved Vehicle with a replacement

9.3 PARTS TO BE PRODUCED

When taking over the Vehicle, the Client (or the Driver if different from the Client or the Drivers if there are more than one) must present the following documents to the Renter:

  • valid identity document (National Identity Card or Passport),
  • a copy of the driving license for each driver, valid in accordance with the provisions of Article 1.

Failure to present one of these documents will be considered as a cancellation of the reservation by the Client, resulting in the consequences recalled in article 8.1.

9.4 SECURITY DEPOSIT

A security deposit of €3000 (three thousand) euros will be taken from the site. This security deposit is intended to guarantee the Renter:

  • the financial liability that the Client may be liable for in the event of damage(s) suffered by the Vehicle, and not covered by the underwritten insurance contract, or in the event of theft,
  • other charges invoiced by the Renter not paid by the

The security deposit cannot be used in any case for an extension of the lease.

In the event that the sums remaining at the expense of the Renter, as a result of the Client’s actions, exceed the amount of this security deposit, the Client must pay the payment immediately or failing immediate costing, as soon as any proof is produced, by any means convenient to the Renter.

In the event of an accident or a collision with a finding of accident, the security deposit will be kept by the Renter in full, until receipt of the insurance letter indicating whether the Client is liable or not, or until receipt of the repair estimates for the Vehicle.

The Renter reserves the right to keep the security deposit for a period of 7 (seven) days following the return of the Vehicle, in order to cover any damage to the Vehicle and any tickets that were not reported at the time of its return.

This period may be extended until the Client pays the following fees in full:

  • Vehicle rehabilitation costs,
  • contraventions,
  • late penalties in case of late return of the Vehicle,
  • mileage overrun

In the case of restoration costs noted during the return of the Vehicle, the Client authorises the Renter to immediately debit all or part of the security deposit:

  • in case of fuel shortage,
  • for exceptional cleaning costs,
  • penalties for delay in returning the Vehicle,
  • as a result of property damage during the
    If such damage requires an expert opinion from a repairer or body shop, an invoice will be drawn up and sent to the Client after the date of return. This invoice will give rise to either an additional payment by the Client, or a refund from the Renter in the event of an overpayment.

In the event of a dispute between the Parties, the Renter reserves the right to keep the security deposit until the full resolution of the claim.

9.5 OTHER DRIVERS

In the event of damage caused to the Vehicle during its driving by a driver not indicated at the time of booking or taking charge of the Vehicle, it shall be the responsibility of the Client to compensate the Renter for all damage attributable to the driver suffered by the Renter (in particular, the damage suffered by the Vehicle, plus the costs and expenses related to the immobilization of the Vehicle).
