Rental conditions
Documents at pick-up
A valid category B driving licence for the driver and an identity document. We do not ask for a credit card as a guarantee, because we hold no security deposits: the balance is paid however you prefer, in cash, by card, debit card or bank transfer. If you have held your licence for less than a year you drive the cars marked for new drivers. For licences issued outside the European Union an international permit is also required.
Booked model and delivered car
The rental is for a segment, not a number plate. The model in the photograph is what we hand over almost every time; when it does not come back in time on those dates, or it is off the road for servicing, you get a car from the same segment — same seats, same boot, same gearbox, same fuel — or better, at no extra cost. It may come from one of the suppliers we have worked with for years. If the substitute does not suit you, you can cancel without penalty right up to pick-up.
Deposit and balance
When you book you pay a 20 per cent deposit online, by card: that is what holds the car in your name. The balance is settled when you collect the vehicle, and you will already have seen the figure in the quote and in the confirmation email, so nothing new appears at the desk. You can settle it however you like: cash, card, debit card or bank transfer. We ask for no security deposit, neither at booking nor on collection.
No security deposit, but an excess
We take no security deposit: we block nothing and hold nothing on your card, neither at booking nor on collection. Every car carries third-party liability insurance with roadside assistance. If the car is damaged, the most you owe is the 2,500 euro excess; in case of theft or fire, at most 3,000 euro. With the full damage waiver the damage excess drops to 500 euro on any car.
Fuel at the same level
You bring it back with the fuel it had at handover: collect it half full, return it half full. We note the level together on the handover sheet, so it is never a question of memory. If fuel is missing on return, refuelling is charged at 2.50 euro for each missing litre.
Mileage included
Unlimited anywhere in Calabria: no daily cap and no counting on return. To drive outside the region you add the supplement listed under extra services, and you must declare it when booking.
Changes and cancellations
Free cancellation up to 72 hours before pick-up, with the whole deposit refunded within five working days to the same card. After that, or for a no-show, we keep the deposit and nothing else is charged to you. Date changes are free if notified at least 24 hours ahead and subject to availability. For a cancelled or badly delayed flight there is no penalty and the refund is full: the airline's notice is enough.
Breakdowns and assistance
Round-the-clock roadside assistance included, with towing. Every car carries an inflation and repair kit, and some a spare wheel, so a puncture is solved on the spot. We do not provide a replacement car: if the vehicle is off the road through no fault of yours, you do not pay for the days you lose. In an accident, call us first and fill in the joint accident statement.
Leaving Italy
The cars do not leave the country: no rental is authorised abroad, inside the European Union or outside it. Within Italy you drive freely, with unlimited mileage in Calabria and the out-of-region supplement listed under extra services, declared when you book. The ferry to Sicily is allowed.
Pets, smoking, cleaning
Pets are allowed in every car with a carrier or dog guard, which we lend free of charge. Smoking is not allowed in the cars: sanitising costs 80 euro. Returning the car dirty beyond normal use incurs a 40 euro deep clean.
Businesses and long-term rental
The rate already falls as the days add up, and beyond a month it is worth talking: we prepare a written quote with a fixed monthly fee, tailored to the model and the period. It suits companies, professionals and anyone staying in Lamezia for a working season. These contracts do not go through the online form.
