Our car rental company guarantees availability, only when it is formally confirmed by us via email, of a vehicle belonging to a specific segment or group A, B, C… For technical reasons we cannot guarantee a specific car model nor can we guarantee the colour, the type of power supply, the type of gearbox (manual or automatic), precise electronic functions (such as Bluetooth or Satellite Navigator) or a specific interior and/or exterior set-up. If, for technical reasons, the booked model is not available, we will undertake, at our expense, to provide a car model of the same or higher group and with specifications as close as possible to the model initially confirmed.

During the booking process, before the administration sends a formal booking confirmation, it will be required to pay 30% of the total amount as a deposit. The deposit is non-refundable in accordance with Article 1385 of the Italian Civil Code.

Changes to your booking are at the discretion of the administration.

Yes, it is possible to pay the security deposit (excess) with a prepaid card. Upon signing the contract, the operator will carry out TWO operations: one relating to the “payment” of the rental fee and the other relating to “pre-authorization” for the security deposit (excess).
