You must return it to us with the same amount of fuel it had in it when you picked it up – usually a full tank – as shown on the factory-installed fuel gauge. We recommend you fill up as close to the return location as you can on the return date, and keep the receipt to show us. If you don’t return the vehicle with a full tank – and you can’t show us a receipt for fuel – we will charge you.

Fuel Options

I plan to travel more than 120 kilometres, and want peace of mind, do you have a fuel option for me?

Yes, with Fuel Up Front you pay for a full tank of fuel, based on the manufacturer's stated fuel tank capacity for your vehicle – plus our costs of refuelling the vehicle for you. Then you just return the vehicle with whatever’s left in the tank (even if it’s virtually empty) so long as the engine still runs.

How do I calculate the cost of Fuel Up Front?

Depending on where you’re renting, this cost could be up to €0.05 per litre lower than the average fuel price at the start of your rental period – as stated on this EU fuel index: http://ec.europa.eu/energy/observatory/oil/bulletin_en.htm. However, you don’t get a refund for any fuel you don’t use.

Can I get Fuel up Front at any time?

No, if you want to take advantage of Fuel Up Front, you must ask for it during the booking process or when you pick up the vehicle.

I plan to travel less than 120 kilometres, do I still need to fill up?

Yes, often the fuel gauges stills look “full” so we ask you to fill up the tank near to the return location and show us a copy of the receipt. If you don’t have time to fill up the tank, or can’t show us a receipt, we will apply EZ Fuel to cover our costs of refuelling the vehicle for you.

How much is EZ Fuel?

Depending on where you’re renting, you pay of fixed fee of between €14 and €18.

What are my options if I don’t return the vehicle full and haven’t bought Fuel up Front?

Pay on Return will apply if you have driven more than 120 kilometres and:

How do I calculate the cost of Pay on Return?

You pay for fuel based on the factory-installed fuel gauge rounded down to the nearest eighth (1/8) of a tank. This is based on the manufacturer’s stated fuel tank capacity.

We charge between 1.5 and three times the average fuel price at the end of the rental period for Netherlands – as stated on this EU fuel price index: http://ec.europa.eu/energy/observatory/oil/bulletin_en.htm The price per litre will be stated on you rental agreement. This charge covers our cost of driving to the nearest petrol station at short notice, and potentially delaying the next customer’s rental.

Yes, but only if we have approved them. You must not let anyone else drive the vehicle.

We charge a fee for every Additional Driver we allow to drive the vehicle. The price depends on the location you’re renting from, but you can expect it to be between €9 and €11 per day, per driver.

You must give us at least 72 hours’ notice to organise out of hour’s pick-up. We may be able to provide the service at shorter notice, but you will need to check with the Reservations team.

Many of our vehicles are provided with unlimited mileage. If a mileage allowance applies, it will be stated on your rental agreement and in your booking confirmation email. If you go over the mileage allowance, the price depends on the vehicle and location – but you can expect it to costs between €0.10 and €0.50 for every kilometre you’ve driven over the allowance. Your excess mileage charge will be stated on your rental agreement.
