The lessee has custody of the vehicle in accordance with the provisions of Article 1242 – paragraph I of the Civil Code and must therefore ensure its use, management and control as a ‘reasonable person’. The lessee undertakes to use the rented vehicle with due care and attention, in compliance with the laws and regulations in force, for lawful and non-commercial purposes. The lessee is solely responsible for the vehicle and the consequences that may result from its use.
The hirer is liable for any traffic offences or other breaches of the laws or regulations in force committed during the rental period. The hirer undertakes to take all necessary protective measures to keep the vehicle in the same condition as when it was taken into possession, in order to prevent any damage or theft of the vehicle. The rented vehicle may only be used in the department of Guadeloupe. It is forbidden to transport it on a boat. The vehicles are non-smoking and in the event of non-compliance with this condition, the hirer undertakes to pay the cleaning and deodorisation costs.
EIn addition to the rental payment, a deposit is required to collect the vehicle. This can only be paid by credit card. All bank cards are accepted except debit cards such as VISA ELECTRON, MAESTRO, NICKEL, REVOLUT, etc. The depositor must be the holder of the card left as a deposit and be the driver named on the rental agreement.
The vehicle must be returned in the same condition as when it was jointly inspected by the renter at the time of departure from the agency. Any repair costs resulting from the renter’s fault will be borne by them. It is the renter’s responsibility to provide proof that the rented vehicle has been returned to the agency. The fuel level must be restored upon return of the vehicle. Otherwise, refueling fees will be charged.
For vehicles in categories A to C, a penalty of €15 per missing fuel bar will be charged, and for higher-category vehicles, the penalty will be €18 per missing bar. The vehicle must be returned in the same level of cleanliness as at departure. Any vehicle returned in an unclean condition will be subject to cleaning fees depending on its category. The cleaning package is an optional service that can be subscribed to at the beginning, during, or at the end of the rental period.
The rental agreement may be terminated by either party in the event of a breach by the other party of its essential obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding such termination, the parties shall retain the right to claim compensation for damages suffered as a result of the other party’s breach of the contractual provisions. Termination shall take effect 8 days after the sending of a formal notice to remedy the breach, which has remained unsuccessful.
In the event of termination, the vehicle must be returned by the lessee to the lessor at their own expense and risk on the dates and at the times indicated in the termination letter. If the vehicle is not returned on the date indicated, any liability limitations and optional insurance taken out will no longer apply. The hirer will also be liable for the sums mentioned in Article 6, except in cases where the failure to return the vehicle is not the fault of the customer (force majeure or the act of a third party).
All rented vehicles are covered by third-party liability insurance in accordance with current regulations, and its cost is included in the rental fee. This insurance covers material and bodily damage that the renter may cause to third parties while using the vehicle or otherwise. Third-party liability insurance does not cover bodily injury or death suffered by the renter, any damage caused to the renter’s own property or personal belongings, any damage to the vehicle itself, or theft of the vehicle.
Third-party liability insurance also does not apply to damages caused by the renter or authorized driver to their employees or representatives; damages suffered by passengers when transportation conditions do not meet the safety standards described in Article A.211-3 of the French Insurance Code; if, at the time of the incident, the renter’s or authorized driver’s license is invalid or suspended; generally, to events excluded from coverage under Articles R.211-10 and R.211-11 of the Insurance Code; in cases of intentional or fraudulent acts under Article L.113-1 of the Insurance Code; when the rented vehicle is used for automotive or sporting tests or competitions; in cases of attempted fraud; or in cases of false declarations regarding the renter’s or any authorized driver’s personal information specified in the rental agreement.
Our rental rates also include: driver coverage, damage insurance with a variable deductible (depending on the repair estimate), theft insurance with a fixed deductible, and coverage for transported passengers. In the event of subscribing to the deductible reduction option, the insurance covers bodywork, headlights, and tail lights. It excludes windshield damage, underbody impact, roof damage, and the loss or deterioration of the vehicle’s key.
For any withdrawal or cancellation of a booking, the sums paid by the customer will not be refunded and will be forfeited. This sum may be converted into a credit note valid for one year. In the event of death, upon presentation of proof, a refund may be provided on the sum paid. In the event of early return of the vehicle during a rental period, the unused days will not be refunded. However, a credit note may be offered, valid for one year from the date on which the credit note is issued.
