Where to rent a car

Today it is possible to rent a car both online and on site, in rental centers located in airports, stations, but also in the historic centers of cities.

The online rental cars is increasingly used by simply selecting the desired car, enter the required data and choose the most convenient collection point.

Payment methods

For car rental, the safest method of payment is a credit card . For reasons of security and company policy, it is not possible to rent cars with prepaid cards, debit cards or cash.

In addition, the credit card and rental agreement must be in the name of the same person, who will also be the first driver of the vehicle.

At what age can a car be rented?

Most car rental companies in Italy have different policies for new drivers and drivers between 21 and 24 years old . In the case of a young driver, a specific formula is foreseen in the terms of the contract which introduces an additional daily tax ( young driver tax ) and restrictions on the car models available for rental.

 

Our car rental policy for young drivers sets the minimum age limit at 21 and requires you to have held your driving license for at least one year .

Insurance and deductible

When signing the car rental contract , it is important to focus on the insurance and deductible items and to be clear about all the stipulations.

When we talk about deductible , we refer to the conventional reduction of liability for damages and theft and corresponds to the maximum overdraft chargeable to the customer in the event of damage or theft of the vehicle.

Car collection: what to pay attention to

After choosing the car model and signing the rental agreement, we can finally pick up our car and enjoy the holidays!

Before leaving, it is always good to check the vehicle at the time of collection . Here is a short list of things to do :

Check of the car to verify any damage to the bodywork

Check for the presence of the vehicle registration document

Keep the contact details of the rental agency

If you have special car settings, ask the staff to explain the functions to you.

Return of the rented car

The holidays are over and we reluctantly have to return our car?

Some tips to get prepared:

Check the fuel : normally it must be delivered as it is withdrawn. If you have received a car with a full tank of fuel, you will need to return it.

Spring cleaning . After an adventure on the road the car will definitely need a cleaning.

Another check: needless to say that the vehicle must be delivered in the same conditions as the collection. Do you want a tip? Take a picture of the car when you go to collect it, so it will be easier to check for damage or scratches before returning the Rental Cars in Jamaica

Rent a car in post-health emergency

The car is confirmed as the safest way to travel: we can in fact avoid taking crowded buses in the city, but above all it allows us to leave on holiday avoiding stations and airports.

In a survey on the use of cars in the post-Covid period, 75% of respondents said they will tend to use the car for both long and short trips.

 

It is important for us to guarantee the safety of passengers, which is why we always sanitize the vehicle before collection and after delivery.
