Limit your liability and avoid extra costs by choosing a coverage option. By choosing extra options online you benefit from the best pricing.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is an optional coverage that reduces the applicable excess amount in case of damage to and/or theft of the vehicle. If CDW is not included in the reservation, it is available for purchase.

CDW reduces the excess to €1,100 for Mini, Economy, and Compact vehicles; €1,400 for Intermediate and Standard vehicles; and €1,700 for Full‑size, Premium, and Luxury vehicles. For Special category vehicles, the excess is reduced to €3,000. The excess will be charged every time a vehicle is damaged, lost or stolen.

Before purchasing CDW, it is advisable to determine if the renter's personal coverage is adequate to cover damage, theft, loss of revenue, administration fees, diminishment of value, and any towing, storage or impound fees. If CDW is declined, the renter will be required to pay these charges up to the excess amount and seek compensation through their carrier of personal coverage. CDW is not insurance.

For all reservations, there is a lead time of 1 hour from the time the booking is made before it is confirmed. All vehicles will be held for up to half an hour after the scheduled pick-up time during opening hours. If you are running late, please contact the branch to make them aware.

All rentals where the vehicle is not returned to the same location as it was collected from will be subject to a one-way fee. The one-way fee varies based on car category, location, and pick-up date. The exact amount of the one-way fee will be displayed during the reservation process when entering the dates, desired route, and car category. For all one-way rentals (domestic or international) authorization must be obtained either prior to arrival or at the rental counter. If the hirer returns the vehicle one way without authorization or returns the vehicle to any other location than the return location reflected on their rental agreement, an additional repatriation fee will be charged. Unauthorized international one-way drop-offs will incur a repatriation fee of €1200 (excluding VAT), in addition to the applicable standard one-way fee. Domestic one-way drop-offs are available between rental branches in the Netherlands. International one-way drop-offs are possible at selected Airports branches in Belgium, France, Germany, and Luxembourg only.

As a customer, you can choose how to pay for fuel or EV recharging when returning the vehicle.

You may refuel or recharge the vehicle to the same level as received at the time of rental. If you choose not to refuel or recharge the vehicle to the same level, you will be charged the local rate, which is typically above the local fuel price or kilowatt-per-hour price.

Before the rental, you may opt to prepay for a full tank of fuel or battery charge. Prepay gives you two conveniences: You can avoid the hassle of refueling or recharging the vehicle before returning. You will be charged for the full tank of fuel or electric charge upfront at a competitive rate and you can return the vehicle empty.

Note: Prepaid fuel is only sold in full tanks at the discounted price per gallon/liter. Local fuel and kilowatt rates will vary by the area in which you are renting a vehicle. A full EV charge is considered above 80%. No refund will be offered for unused fuel or battery charge.

All-season tires are available to purchase at time of pick-up on a limited number of car categories between 1 November and 31 March for a daily charge of 25,00 Euro and maximum 250,00 Euro per rental. In cases of loss or damage a replacement fee of up to 3500,00 Euro applies. If travelling cross border all-season tires may be a legal requirement. Please check with the rental branch at time of rental.
