7. DURATION OF RENTAL

7.1 Notion and calculation

The VEHICLE is rented for a period fixed between the parties at the moment of the RESERVATION, set in the RESERVATION confirmation and entered in the Contract. During very high season (see Pricing conditions), the duration of the rental is calculated per week, from Saturday to Friday. Outside of this period, the minimum rental period is one night, pick-up taking place no earlier than at 10 a.m., and return taking place no later than 9 a.m. or 3 p.m., depending on the schedule validated during your RESERVATION.

If You do not show up at the AGENCY on the agreed day and time to collect the VEHICLE, indicated on the RESERVATION confirmation, the LESSOR reserves the right to cancel the RESERVATION without compensation for the RENTER. The sums paid by the RENTER during the RESERVATION will be kept by the LESSOR as compensation for the damage suffered. The delay in collecting or the early return of the VEHICLE cannot give rise to any reduction in the rental amount agreed upon departure.

7.2 End of rental

a) Restitution

The rental ends with the return of the VEHICLE as well as its accessories, keys and papers to the AGENCY, handed to one of our agents. You must return the VEHICLE to the AGENCY on the date and time indicated on your Contract. Otherwise, additional charges will be applied, as explained below, and You may be subject to civil or criminal legal proceedings.

The RENTER and the LESSOR will carry out an inventory of the VEHICLE upon return, which may give rise to the application of additional costs, in accordance with articles 3.2 b) and the Pricing Conditions.

The LESSOR cannot be held liable for any items that You may have forgotten in the VEHICLE.

Delay

The RENTER is informed that the return of the VEHICLE cannot take place outside the AGENCY's opening hours. Taking into account the duration of the VEHICLE verification operations before and after the return, the RENTER undertakes to respect the schedule indicated to him for the return.

Unless he proves that for reasons beyond his control (breakdown immobilizing the VEHICLE, case of force majeure) it was materially impossible to return the VEHICLE at the time indicated, a fixed compensation will be invoiced to the RENTER as follows:

  • Starting from one hour of delay on the contractual return time: fixed compensation of €300 (three hundred euros).
  • Starting from the day after the contractual return date: fixed compensation of €500 (five hundred euros) per day.

Abandonment

If the VEHICLE has been abandoned, that is to say it has been left outside an AGENCY, You remain fully responsible for any DAMAGE that the VEHICLE may suffer until its return to the AGENCY, any possible fines, as well as any costs incurred by the AGENCY for the recovery of the abandoned VEHICLE.

b) Automatic termination 

The Contract may be terminated automatically in the event of:

  • confiscation or sealing of the VEHICLE as soon as the LESSOR is informed about it by the judicial authorities;
  • THEFT of the VEHICLE upon transmission to the LESSOR of the complaint made by the RENTER to the competent authorities;
  • damage to the VEHICLE giving rise to its immobilization for more than 72 hours

Where the RENTER is at fault, automatic termination will not give rise to any refund.

8. INSURANCE

You are responsible for the VEHICLE in your care. Thus, in the event of DAMAGE(S), You must compensate the LESSOR for the damage actually suffered. If the damage suffered by the LESSOR should be reduced, the RENTER(S) will be reimbursed the amount of this reduction.

All of the following protections are only applied in EUROPE, for the duration of the Contract and subject to compliance with the provisions of these conditions.

The RENTER is insured by us, according to the “Multi-risk Coverage BASIC” insurance, systematically included in the price of your rental. It :

  • meets all legal obligations relating to liability towards third parties. The amounts covered towards third parties are as follows: Bodily damage: unlimited - Material and immaterial damage: 100,000,000 euros per claim, except Environment/Pollution: 1,600,000 euros - Legal protection up to: 20,000 euros - Appeal and advance on appeal up to: 8,000 euros.
  • Protects You and any other authorized driver against claims from third parties (including your passengers) in the event of death, injury or property damage arising from the use of the VEHICLE during the rental;
  • covers the bodily injury that You (the driver at the time of the collision) may suffer (limit 150,000 euros);
  • covers external damage to the VEHICLE: fire, theft of the VEHICLE (see art 8.1 DAMAGE), natural disasters (for example: hail, floods, etc.), all accidents to the VEHICLE (broken glass, bodywork, etc.);
  • includes Hertz Trois Soleils assistance

It is specified that an excess of €2,500 (two thousand five hundred euros)* per event will be invoiced to the RENTER for any use of “Multi-risk Coverage BASIC” insurance.

*Optional additional insurance

You can take out optional additional guarantees, the conditions and prices of which can be consulted on the website www.trois-soleils.com to reduce the amount of the deductible and benefit from additional coverage.

 

The “Multi-risk Coverage BASIC” insurance does not cover:

  • interior damage to the VEHICLE, caused voluntarily or involuntarily, whatever the origin;
  • cash, bank notes, valuables and personal effects of the RENTER;
  • damage “to the upper parts” (above the windshield), rims, tires, mirrors and accessories out of order, damaged or stolen;
  • damage caused by the negligence of the RENTER (defined as behavior which does not meet the standards of that expected of a reasonably sane person in similar circumstances) or the negligence of your passengers (by way of non-limiting example, burns of cigarettes, THEFT of the VEHICLE with the keys in the ignition, etc.);
  • repatriation assistance.

8.1 DAMAGE

Disaster

A disaster corresponds to a one-time, unique event that caused the damage(s). In the event of a disaster, the RENTER undertakes to immediately make a detailed written declaration to the LESSOR detailing the facts, third parties (if identified), dates, times, places, witnesses to the disaster; and to transmit to the LESSOR within 48 hours, the amicable accident report duly filled and signed by both parties when the third party is identified, possibly accompanied by a police or gendarmerie report. Failure to comply with this procedure or this deadline will result in the forfeiture of the guarantee offered by the insurance and the financial responsibility of the RENTER.

Any disaster not declared or based on a “false declaration” will remain the responsibility of the RENTER, both for DAMAGE suffered by the VEHICLE and for that caused to third parties.

In the event of an incident preventing the circulation of the VEHICLE in accordance with the safety rules of traffic laws, the RENTER undertakes to contact assistance and to carry out the necessary repairs immediately without prejudice to compliance with the above provisions.

THEFT and hijacking of the VEHICLE

As soon as he becomes aware of it, the RENTER undertakes to report the THEFT or attempted THEFT of the VEHICLE and/or its equipment to the police/gendarmerie authorities and to the LESSOR and to transmit to the LESSOR, within 48 hours, the original keys as well as the THEFT declaration receipt issued by the competent authorities.

Under these conditions, the THEFT or attempted THEFT excess is set at €2,500 (two thousand five hundred euros). Failing this, the RENTER will be held responsible and will be invoiced for the entire value of the VEHICLE, increased by immobilization costs as determined by an expert and administrative fees. The theft or loss of the RENTER's personal effects are in no way covered by the LESSOR.

8.2 LAPSE OF COVERAGE

You cannot benefit from damage guarantees covered by insurance in case of non-compliance with the obligations expressly stipulated in the General Rental Conditions and more particularly when:

  • You are driving under the influence of alcohol, hallucinogenic drugs, narcotics, barbiturates, other illegal drugs or any other substance;
  • You are driving without a valid driving license;
  • You entrust the VEHICLE to drivers not designated in the Contract;
  • You do not respect your reporting obligations towards the LESSOR in terms of DAMAGE);
  • You do not return the original keys of the VEHICLE;
  • You do not respect the Technically Permissible Maximum Loading Mass of the VEHICLE.

You will therefore be financially responsible for all damages under the conditions of common liability law.
