Fuel Policy
en_US

Returning the vehicle
Unless you agreed a different refuelling option (see below), you must return the vehicle to us with the same amount of fuel it had in it when you picked it up usually a full tank as shown on the factory-installed fuel gauge or automatically logged in respect of connected cars. We recommend you fill up as close to the return location as you can on the return date and keep the receipt to show us. If you don't return the vehicle with a full tank and you can't show us a receipt for fuel we will charge you.

Refuelling options
Fuel Up Front - this option allows you to pay for a full tank of fuel, based on the manufacturer's stated fuel tank capacity of your vehicle plus our costs of refuelling the vehicle for you. Then you just return the vehicle with whatever's left in the tank (even if it is virtually empty) so long as the engine still runs.

This is only available where you have added it as an option at booking stage, or asked to add it to your rental prior to you collecting the vehicle. If you have added this option, the cost will be on your Rental Agreement Form. However, you don't get a refund for any fuel you don't use.

EZ Fuel - If you have travelled less than 120km and don't have time to fill up the tank or can't show us receipt for fuel, you will be charged the EZ fuel fee to cover this. This will be charged as a fixed fee of between EUR 26.00 and EUR 36.40.

Pay on Return - If you are renting a "connected car", you will be required to pay for fuel so as to ensure that the vehicle has the same amount as when you collected it (this is automatically logged and is calculated to the nearest litre).
If you are renting any other traditional fuel or hybrid vehicle, you will be required to pay for fuel so as to ensure that the vehicle has the same amount as when you collected it based on the factory-installed fuel gauge rounded down to the nearest eighth (1/8) of a tank (costs are based on the manufacturer's stated fuel tank capacity). We charge between 1.5 and 3 times the average fuel price at the end of the rental period. The price per litre will be stated on your Rental Agreement Form.

 

Fully Electric Vehicles

We charge a fixed amount dependent on the battery charge on the factory-installed battery gauge. This is the “Pay on Return” rate. The amounts charged are set out below:

Battery Charge Price depends on rent location
If you return the electric vehicle with 70% or more battery charge*. No Cost
If you return the electric vehicle with between 11%-69% battery charge. EUR 22.85-28.70
If you return the electric vehicle with 10% or less battery charge

EUR 35.81-45.00

 

* unless the vehicle had less than 70% battery charge when you collected it, in which case, you must return it with at least the same % battery charge as it had at time of pick-up in order for no additional costs to be applied.
