If a notification is received for a violation committed with the rented vehicle, as determined by technical means or systems recording the date, exact time of the violation, and the vehicle registration number, the Lessor will provide the authorities with the client’s and additional driver’s data, and the ticket/penalty notice is issued to the client.
FULL COVERAGE – Exempts the client from liability for damage and theft. The Renter may benefit from it only if they have complied with traffic rules and, after presenting an accident protocol or another document issued by competent state authorities, return the keys and documents of the vehicle.

In case of delay by the Client, the reserved vehicle is guaranteed for 1 hour. After this period, the vehicle will be released and may be provided to another client, and the Reservation is considered cancelled by the Client with a cancellation fee of 100% of the final price.
