All vehicles are given to clients full of fuel at the start of the rental. A fuel deposit is charged to the client at the start of the rental. The fuel deposit depends on the tank size of the specific vehicle and ranges from EUR 65 + tax for the smallest vehicle to EUR 130 + tax for the largest vehicles. We offer clients two options when returning the vehicle. (1) The client returns the vehicles without refuelling - avoiding the necessity to find a petrol station before returning the vehicle. There is no refund for unused fuel. (2) The client returns the vehicle full of fuel and receives a full fuel refund. If option (2) is chosen clients are required to refuel the vehicle within 5 kms of the return hire station. Proof of fuel purchase in the form of a fuel receipt may be required to be produced at the return location.
