Damage to the vehicle

Which amounts is the Customer required to pay in the event of damage to the vehicle during the rental if the Customer has not purchased a damage waiver or if said waiver is not already included in the rental rate or if the waiver does not apply in the specific case?
In case the vehicle is damaged during the rental, the Company will evaluate at its own discretion whether to proceed with the repair or substitution of the damaged parts. In any case, the Customer is required to pay the following amounts:

• the amount of the estimated damage, corresponding to the estimated cost of replacement of the damaged parts or the estimated cost of repairing the same. The methodology for estimating these amounts, which also include the cost of labour and any loss of use of the vehicle, is set forth in Section 10 "Damage, Loss or Theft" of the General Conditions of Rental;
• EUR 102.60 (VAT included) - or EUR 123.12 (VAT included) in the case of rentals at airports; or EUR 119.02 (VAT included) in the case of rentals at train stations as an all-inclusive amount for one day of idle time of the vehicle required to allow our experts to assess the damage. This amount will be charged only once even in case of multiple damages to the vehicle;
• EUR 42.70 (VAT included) - or EUR 51.24 (VAT included) in the case of rentals at airports; or EUR 49.53 (VAT included) in the case of rentals at train stations - as an all-inclusive amount for the logistic, IT and accounting management of the damage by the Company. This amount will be charged only once even in case of multiple damages to the vehicle.

The Customer will not be charged any amount if following the standard cleaning procedure no damage is evidenced.

If the Customer proves that the damage was due to a circumstance not attributable to him/her/them, we will refund the amounts previously charged. The Customer may request the refund by contacting the Customer Service team.

If the Customer proves that the actual extent of the damage and/or the actual amount incurred for repair or replacement is less than the amount estimated under Section 10 of the General Conditions, the Customer will be reimbursed the difference. The Customer may request the refund by contacting the Customer Service team.

Which waivers reduce the amount the Customer has to pay if the vehicle is damaged during the rental?

Maggiore branded rentals made in Italy include in the rate shown at the time of booking - as well as in the rate shown at the rental location - a basic level of reduction of the Customer's economic liability in case of damage to the vehicle during the rental period (“Collision Damage Waiver”, CDW).

If the reduction of economic liability in case of damages is included in the rental or has been purchased separately by the Customer and the vehicle is damaged during the rental, the Customer will be charged the lower amount between (i) the excess stated on the Rental Agreement, in case of applicability of the CDW and (ii) the overall amounts (A+B+C) indicated above.

In case of multiple damages to the vehicle which are clearly identified as such at check-in and which are not related to the same event, the Customer will be charged, for each individual damage, the lower amount between (i) the excess stated on the Rental Agreement, in case of applicability of the CDW and (ii) the overall amounts (A+B+C) indicated above, it being specified that the amounts under letters B and C will in any case be charged only once.

Any limitation or exclusion of economic liability of the Customer in case of damage to the vehicle (respectively, Collision Damage Waiver and Super Collision Damage Waiver, as provided below) does not apply to damages occurred or caused to the windscreen and the windows (save for the following provisions).

Any limitation or exclusion of economic liability of the Customer in case of damage to the vehicle (respectively, Collision Damage Waiver and Super Collision Damage Waiver, as provided below) is not effective and in any case expires for (i) damage caused by willful misconduct or gross negligence, as well as for (ii) damage to the interior of the vehicle, for damage caused to the roof (caused by lack of assessment of the height of the vehicle and of the objects protruding or overhanging the roof), for damage caused to the clutch kit, for damage caused by engine over-revving, for damage or theft of

tyres and/or rims, for damage caused to the underbody, unless the Customer proves said damage (or, in the case of the tyres and rims, the theft) was determined by a circumstance not attributable to him/her/them.

 

How much is the excess if the Customer has purchased CDW / the latter is included in the rental?
The excess, which corresponds to the maximum amount of the Customer's economic liability for each damage clearly identified at check-in and not related to the same event, is indicated in the booking process or in the rental fare shown at the rental location and is stated on the Rental Agreement and also in your booking confirmation email. Applicable taxes and eventually a surcharge in the case of rentals at airports or train stations will be added to the excess.

How do I get Collision Damage Waiver?

The Rental Agreement and your booking confirmation email indicate whether the reduction of economic liability for damages (Collision Damage Waiver) is included in the rental. If it isn't included, the price for this service will depend on the vehicle you’re renting, the place you’re renting it from and the duration of the rental. The price approximately ranges between EUR 17.64 (VAT included) and EUR 26.47 (VAT and eventual surcharge in case you rent at an airport / train station included) per day. If you rent the vehicle for more than 15 days, you'll only be charged for a maximum of 15 days and get cover for the duration of your rental, up to 30 days; from the 31st day, the daily surcharge will revert.

 

Is there a waiver available to reduce my excess further?
Yes, Super Collision Damage Waiver (SCDW) is a service which reduces your excess to zero in case of damages to the vehicle during the rental period: therefore, in this case, the Customer will not be charged any amount for damages to the vehicle, save for the application of the last two paragraphs of the previous clause "Which waivers reduce the amount the Customer has to pay if the vehicle is damaged during the rental?". The price depends on the vehicle, the rental location and duration of the rental and approximately ranges between EUR 23.01 (VAT included) and EUR 43.92 (VAT and eventual surcharge in case you rent at an airport / train station included) per day. If you rent the vehicle for more than 15 days, you'll only be charged foramaximum of 15 days and get cover for the duration of your rental, up to 30 days; from the 31st day, the daily surcharge will revert.

Which amounts is the Customer required to pay if the windscreen or any other window is damaged?
In case of damages to the windscreen or windows the Customer will have to pay the overall amounts (A+B+C) indicated in the previous clause "Which amounts is the Customer required to pay in the event of damage to the vehicle during the rental if the Customer has not purchased a damage waiver or if said waiver is not already included in the rental rate or if the waiver does not apply in the specific case?".

Is there a waiver which reduces the Customer's economic liability in case of damages to the windscreen or any other window?
Yes, Windscreen Protection reduces the amount you have to pay if the windscreen or any other window is damaged to zero.
The price of this service depends on the vehicle you're renting, the place you're renting it from and the duration of the rental. Said price approximately ranges between EUR 5.16 (VAT included) and EUR 8.27 (VAT and eventual surcharge in case you rent at an airport / train station included) per day. If you’ve bought the Windscreen Protection waiver, it will be stated on your Rental Agreement. If you rent the vehicle for more than 15 days, you'll only be charged for a maximum of 15 days and get cover for the duration of your rental, up to 30 days; from the 31st day, the daily surcharge will revert.

Are there any cases in which the waivers which reduce or eliminate the economic liability for damages to the vehicle do not apply?
Yes. The amount the Customer will have to pay will not be reduced if the damage was caused by or is the result of:

• water or fire damage, attributable to the Customer;
• wilful misconduct or grossly negligent behaviour or a conduct put in place in violation of the provisions set forth in Article 5 (Vehicle Use) and Section 8 "During the Rental, Using the Vehicle" of the General Conditions of Rental.

The Customer also does not benefit from the reduction or elimination of economic liability where he/she/them intentionally provides incorrect information in the incident report form.

Where can I find information of damage charges I've paid?

If we find damage, we'll charge the amount you have to pay to your card. If the Customer has provided the Company with his/her/their email address, the Customer will receive, immediately after the damage charge is made, an email containing the complete information regarding the payment made. In any case, the details of the payment made by the Customer will also be available at the following link: www.avisautonoleggio.it/fattura-online.

Waivers that reduce (Collision Damage Waiver) or eliminate (Super Collision Damage Waiver) the economic liability for damage to the vehicle also cover, under similar conditions, the cases of damage, loss or theft of the keys, accessories or documents of the vehicle. Specifically, in case of purchase of CDW, the Customer will be charged the lower amount between (i) the excess stated in the Rental Agreement and (ii) the aforementioned replacement or substitution costs and vehicle idle time; in case of purchase of SCDW, the Customer will not be charged any amount.

No, so long as you hold a full, valid driving licence for at least 1 year.

Can I have a vehicle delivered to me?

Some of our rental locations offer a Delivery Service where we drop the vehicle - and any optional extras you pre-booked - off at a time and place you request. If you want to have the vehicle delivered, you must:

• Be resident in this country

We charge a flat fee of EUR 30.50 (VAT included) in intra-city and EUR 30.81 (VAT included) plus EUR 1.83 per kilometre for suburban stretches of roads with the remainder of the journey being calculated on a pence per mile basis. You can use the journey planner at Google maps to help you estimate the length of the journey. We will take a reasonable route at the time we deliver, so the distance and cost may be more or less than Google maps suggests.

What happens if I'm not there when you come to collect the vehicle?
If the vehicle, keys, any accessories, any vehicle documents and any optional extras aren't there when we come to collect, you'll still be charged for the collection. You'll then need to book a new collection - and pay another collection fee - or bring the vehicle back to the rental location yourself.

Estimated total is subject to change based upon exchange rates at the time of rental.

Should I bring the vehicle back with a full tank of fuel?
Yes. The vehicle will normally be supplied with a full tank of fuel. You must return it 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.  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 do not return the vehicle with a full tank and you can not show us a receipt for fuel we will charge you.

Fuel Options

I plan to travel more than 120 kilometres, and want peace of mind, do you have a fuel option for me?
Yes, with Fuel Up Front you pay for a full tank of fuel, based on the manufacturers stated fuel tank capacity for your vehicle plus our costs of refuelling the vehicle for you. Then you just return the vehicle with whatever is left in the tank (even if its virtually empty) so long as the engine still runs.

How do I calculate the cost of Fuel Up Front?
Depending on where you are renting, we charge the average fuel price at the start of your rental period as stated on this EU fuel index http://ec.europa.eu/energy/en/statistics/weekly-oil-bulletin. However, you do not get a refund for any fuel you do not use.

Can I get Fuel up Front at any time?
No, if you want to take advantage of Fuel Up Front, you must ask for it during the booking process or when you pick up the vehicle.

I plan to travel less than 120 kilometres, do I still need to fill up?
Yes, often the fuel gauges stills look full so we ask you to fill up the tank near to the return location and show us a copy of the receipt.  If you do not have time to fill up the tank, or can not show us a receipt, we will apply EZ Fuel to cover our costs of refuelling the vehicle for you.

How much is EZ Fuel?
Depending on where you are renting, you pay of fixed fee of 15.00 Euro.  

What are my options if I do not return the vehicle full and have not bought Fuel up Front?
Pay on Return will apply if you have driven more than 120 kilometres and:

• Do not buy Fuel Up Front
• Do not return the vehicle with a full tank

How do I calculate the cost of Pay on Return?
You pay for fuel based on the factory-installed fuel gauge rounded down to the nearest eighth (1/8) of a tank. This is based on the manufacturers stated fuel tank capacity.
We recommend you to fill up as close to the return location as you can. Otherwise we charge the average fuel price at the end of the rental period for Italy as stated on this EU fuel index: http://ec.europa.eu/energy/observatory/oil/bulletin_en.htm. Included a surcharge per liter as indicated on your rental agreement.  If we have to refuel the vehicle, a refueling service fee of EUR 5.00 will be debited. This charge covers our cost of driving to the nearest petrol station at short notice and to restore the inconvenience of the potentially delaying the next customer's rental.
