RENTAL CONDITIONS
King Rent is both a rental car company and a broker agent. When we do not have the car in our fleet, we act as a "mediator" in order to guarantee that the rental will be provided according to our standard to the client from a third party rental car company.
Please find below the rental conditions that apply to the contract with the cars owned by King Rent only. For the other cars, the contract of the supplier will be provided upon request.
1 Your contract with us
When you sign the front page of this rental agreement, you accept the conditions set out in this rental agreement. Please read carefully. If there is anything you do not understand, ask a staff member to explain it.
2 Rental period
You will have the vehicle for the period shown in the agreement.
If you do not bring back the vehicle on time, you will be breaking the conditions of this agreement. We can charge you for every day or part of the day you have the vehicle after you should have returned it to us. We have 2 hours tolerance for delays, after this time you will be charged an extra day, and we will charge also for possible following days until we get the vehicle back.
If for any personal reason, you break our agreement, not for a lack of service by King Rent AG, you can't ask for any refund because the car is booked from you and couldn't be rented to third clients.
3 Your responsibilities
a You must inspect the vehicle and any accessories we provide before you take the vehicle. If you are not satisfied with the vehicle or you do not think the condition of the vehicle meets our pre-rental inspection report, you should let us know. There is a 2 hour time limit from start of hire to notify any additional damage not noted at the time of inspection.
b You must look after the vehicle, any accessories and the keys or other locking device for the vehicle. You must always lock the vehicle when you are not using it, and use any security device which is fitted or which we supply.

f You must let us know as soon as you become aware of a fault with the vehicle, or if the vehicle is stolen or involved in an accident.
g If we have agreed to deliver or collect the vehicle at an address you give us, you will be responsible for the vehicle from the time we deliver it, or until we collect it.
h When you return the vehicle, our staff must check its condition. You will stay responsible for the vehicle and its condition until our staff have checked it.

a The rental and any other charges we work out according to this agreement.
b Any charge for loss or damage resulting from you not keeping to your responsibilities, as set out in section 3 (above).
c A refuelling service charge if you did not return the vehicle to us with the agreed amount of fuel (same as delivery). The charge will be based on considering 40 euro every ¼ fuel.
d All charges and legal costs for any congestion charge, road-traffic offence or parking offence, or any other offence involving the rental vehicle, including costs from the vehicle being clamped, seized or towed away. You are responsible for paying the appropriate authority or company for any charges and costs if and when they ask for these payments. You will also be responsible for paying our reasonable administration charges for dealing with these matters.
e The reasonable cost of repairing any damage to the vehicle which was not noted at the start of the agreement, whether you were at fault or not (depending on section 4). You will also be responsible for paying the reasonable cost of replacing the vehicle if it is stolen or written off, depending on any insurance you have (as set out in section 8), if and when we demand this payment. You will also be responsible for paying our administration charges, for dealing with this matter. Should we consider damage to be caused by gross negligence or deliberate misuse then we reserve the right to recharge to cost of repairs in full regardless of the insurance cover that has been taken out, ie fuel contamination. Any call out for a customer induced fault, (e.g. a call out to change a punctured tyre) could lead to additional charges being applied to the rental agreement.
f A loss-of-income charge, when we demand it, if we cannot rent out the vehicle because it needs to be repaired, if it is a write-off (it cannot be repaired), or if it has been stolen and we are waiting to receive a full payment of the vehicle’s value.
g We will only charge you for loss of income if we cannot get back our losses under the damage protection programme, as explained in section 8. We will charge you at the agreed daily rate, and we will never charge you for more than 30 days in any case. We will always do everything we can to make sure we repair the vehicle or get back our costs as soon as possible.

i Any rates for a change of delivery and collection places of the vehicle, a charge for returning the vehicle later than 2 hours as agreed.

limited to satellite navigation equipment, baby seats etc.

8 Insurance
By signing the agreement on the front page, you are accepting the conditions of our insurance policy.
Our Vehicles are mostly insured with full kasko insurance, having an excess between 1'000-25'000 euro depending on the vehicle hired (this amount will always be a similar amount as the security deposit, so as to be covered with our insurance policy). Although it is really likely that the amount in the security deposit will be the amount up to your responsibility, we reserve the right to ask for further refund in case our insurance will not cover us according to our policy statement (for example by having an accident while driving drunk or under drugs effects, or other illegal situations).
The client undertakes to park the vehicle in a suitable, locked, and where the vehicle will be equipped with the alarm inserted, otherwise the damage potential is borne by the client himself.
9 What to do if you have an accident or the vehicle is stolen
If you are involved in an accident, you must not admit that you are responsible. You should describe the situation as fully as possible when you are asked to do so by the police and us. You should get the names and addresses of everyone involved, including witnesses. You should also: make sure the vehicle is secure; tell the police straight away if anyone is injured or if there is a disagreement over who is responsible; and, contact us straight away.
You must then fill in our accident report form and provide us a copy. If the vehicle has been stolen, you must tell us as soon as possible and confirm this in writing as soon as reasonably possible. You or any authorised drivers will also need to:
• get the names and addresses of any witnesses and give them to us;
• send us any notices or other documents relating to any legal proceedings arising out of the theft or loss;
• help us and our insurers in any legal proceedings, including allowing us to take legal action in your name and defending any legal action taken against you; and
