General Terms And Conditions

By means of the present contract, PERFECTCAR AUTOMOCION Y TRANSPORTE S.L.U, (from now on PERFECTCAR) hires the vehicle (or in any case the vehicle that could replace it) to you as a CUSTOMER that appears overleaf of this contract (from now on CUSTOMER), subject to the terms and conditions stated in the present contract, overleaf and reverse, that you agree to abide. The CUSTOMER receives the rental vehicle described in the contract in good overall and operating condition, with all its documents, tyres, tools and accessories, and they agree to preserve and maintain the vehicle abiding to the rules of the Spanish Traffic Codes and the procedure itemised in the present general conditions. We ask you to read the contract carefully, and if you do not agree with any of the points, please let us know before you sign it.

2. CONTRACT PERIOD

The duration of the contract is noted in its obverse, where the date, hour of delivery and return of the vehicle are specified. If the CUSTOMER decides to terminate the contract earlier, the amount corresponding to the days that the vehicle will not be used (included taxes) will be retained entirely as compensation. Likewise, in the case that it is PERFECTCAR who decides to terminate the rental period before the date indicated in the contract, the CUSTOMER will have the right to receive from PERFECTCAR the quantity corresponding to days when the rental car was not used by the CUSTOMER. If the CLIENT wants to extend the rental period, it is necessary to go to PERFECTCAR’s office to sign the extension document. No contract can be extended by any other communication channel. Under no circumstances can the amount deposited as deposit be used for an extension of the contract. Therefore, in the event that the contract is extended, the CUSTOMER must make an additional payment to pay the extension. If the contract cannot be extended because there is no availability of vehicles or for any other reason, the CUSTOMER will have to return the vehicle on the date, at the approved hour and to the agreed PERFECTCAR offices. It may be necessary, depending on the initial conditions of the contract, that an extension may involve the signing of a new contract and the cancelation of the original contract in force.

3- DELIVERY AND RETURN

PERFECTCAR provides the vehicle in good overall and operating condition. The CUSTOMER agrees to return it to PERFECTCAR in that same conditions with all documents, parts and accessories at the location, and on the date and time designated in this agreement. PERFECTCAR has the right to take back the vehicle at any time without informing the CUSTOMER and at the CUSTOMER’s expense if there is a breach of this agreement. Any change or alteration must be first authorised by PERFECTCAR. If the CUSTOMER breached this condition, PERFECTCAR is authorised to directly take possession of the vehicle or to acquire its return through the Courts. The minimal rent is correspondent to one day, which consists of 24 hours counted from the beginning of the rent, except special rates that specify a minor duration. In the event that the vehicle is returned with a delay superior to 59 minutes, PERFECTCAR retains the right to charge an additional quantity as indemnification for the prejudices caused to the planning of its operation, consisting of a quantity not superior to 1 day rent. If on the contrary, it is PERFECTCAR that is more than 59 minutes late in the delivery of the vehicle, once formalized the rental contract, the CUSTOMER will be indemnified by a quantity not superior to 1 day rent (agreed in the contract). When the rental period has finished, the CUSTOMER returns the vehicle. If they are not present at the time of the inspection of the vehicle for reasons attributable to them (because they drop off the car keys in PERFECTCAR’s letter box because the vehicle has not been returned during the opening hours, or the vehicle is returned in another location which is not PERFECTCAR’s office) and there are damages on the vehicle, the CUSTOMER must pay the assessment of the damages resulting from the inspection made by the PERFECTCAR staff, during their absence. PERFECTCAR will subsequently complete an assessment and report with the costs of any damage. The return or abandonment of the vehicle in a different location indicated in the contract authorizes PERFECTCAR to demand the following:

I) The amount of the rent corresponding to the extra days necessary for the recovery of the vehicle and its preparation time to be suitable to rent again.

II) The indemnification of €40.00 per day for the economic prejudices caused by the CUSTOMER.

III) The costs of transport/tow, tolls and guard/custody (when applicable) to the location agreed in the contract for the return of the vehicle.

PERFECTCAR reserves the right to file the pertinent legal actions of any assumed disappearance or non return of the vehicle before the competent authorities. The CUSTOMER will be wholly responsible for the juridical and legal consequences that could stem from such an action. The unilateral prolongation on the part of the CUSTOMER of the duration of the contract will be likewise considered to be a non permitted use of the vehicle which effects the responsibility of the CUSTOMER of any damage to the vehicle, and it gives the right to PERFECTCAR to recover the vehicle without the will or presence of the CUSTOMER necessary.

4. PAYMENTS OF THE CUSTOMER

The CUSTOMER expressly undertakes to pay PERFECTCAR the amounts shown overleaf which are calculated in accordance with our current rates.

The above mentioned indemnification will be calculated on the number of days that it is necessary to invest in the repair of the vehicle, using as base of quantification the daily rate of vehicle contracted.
