The service: get here - return there or "one-way rent"
The service: get here - return there or "one-way rent" is always paid extra. This fee varies depending on various factors such as vehicle size, fuel consumption, contract length, distance between 2 points of rental and return of the car, frequency of hiring, season load, the ability to move the employee with urban and interurban transport and others. It is always different and ranges from € 5 to € 150 in the direction. The amount of the fee is determined by requesting and providing comprehensive service data that is required. The service is not always available, but only when we have the opportunity to run it.
The service is not offered for a rental period of 1 day. In this case, we offer our clients a different service called "transfer" - the carriage of passengers with a certain amount of baggage, from point A to point B. This service includes car, fuel, driver, road and motorway charges and insurance.
