Car Rental tipps
Here are some useful tips to help you get the most out of your car rental
Please check carefully the terms and conditions of your rental agreement
Many of our terms and conditions are common to all car rental companies. When you receive confirmation of your booking, a copy of our terms and conditions is usually attached to it. You can also download a copy from our website. You should check your rental agreement to ensure that you have all the services you need such as second driver, young driver, border crossing permit, child seats, etc. If not notify us as soon as possible and we will make the necessary adjustments.
If possible, book your car as early as you can
In common with other car rental providers, Fox Autorent often offers discounts for early booking.
Visit our website regularly and, if you know your rental dates well in advance, take advantage of our early booking discount prices. It is a fact that many people leave their booking until the last minute and often in the busiest season when rental prices are at their highest.
Tip: If you intend to travel during the first week in August when the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix and Sziget festival are taking place, it is sensible to make a reservation at least three weeks before the start of the rental! This will ensure that you can get the size category of car you need and any accessories you may require.
Make sure you have all your documents and a valid credit card.
Remember, you will need to produce all the following documents when you come to collect your car. Your reservation document or voucher, a current driving license for all drivers during the rental and a valid credit card which should be valid for at least 90-days from the date the car is returned back to us.
At the start of the rental you will need to provide a credit card deposit of €400 or more depending on the size of your vehicle and the insurance option selected.s.
Changing the details of your rental
Please don't forget that the minimum period of car rental is for 24 hours even if you bring the car back at an earlier time the following day than when you picked it up. For example: If you pick up your rental car on Monday at 9 am and the car is returned any earlier than this time on the Tuesday, a one-day rental tariff is still charged. If you return the car later more than one hour later on the Tuesday (i.e. 10.05am) a second daily fee will be charged.
Therefore, we advise our renters that in the case of 1-2 days rentals you should carefully check your journey schedule to ensure that the car can be returned on time to avoid the extra day’s rental fee if returned late.
Plan ahead
Please make a note of our normal opening hours at the branch office where you will pick up and return your car. An extra fee is charged for collection and return of a car outside these hours so it is recommended to use this service only in cases where it is really necessary.
If it is more convenient, it may be possible to return your car to a Fox Autorent branch office which is nearer that the branch from which you collected the car. A little homework can save you time and money!!
Fox Autorent provides a car which has a full of fuel at the start of the rental. When it is returned it must be the same so plan your journey to include a refill at the nearest petrol station to our depot.
If you do not, Fox Autorent, in common with many rental companies will charge you for the missing fuel plus an additional service charge and VAT. It makes sense to do this yourself to avoid these additional charges!
