The specific terms set out in the contract, the confirmed booking, the vehicle condition report, the photographs taken at handover and return, the agreed rate and the accepted annexes form an integral part of the contract.<\/p>\n

The handwritten or electronic signature on the contract implies that these general terms and conditions have been read and accepted, without prejudice to the customer\u2019s rights under applicable legislation.<\/p>\n

1. PURPOSE OF THE CONTRACT
\nAutos Elizabeth provides the customer, on a self-drive rental basis, with the vehicle identified in the contract, together with its keys, documentation, equipment, tools and accessories.
\nThe vehicle is handed over in a satisfactory condition in terms of operation, maintenance and safety, except for any damage, cosmetic defects or incidents noted in the contract, the handover report or the photographic record made available to the customer.

\ne) To take all reasonable measures necessary to prevent damage, breakdowns, theft or harm to the vehicle or to third parties.
\nWhere the handover takes place without a member of Autos Elizabeth\u2019s staff being physically present, the customer may report any pre-existing damage not documented within the period specified in the specific terms and conditions or, failing that, as soon as reasonably possible and before commencing normal use of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

2. TERM OF THE CONTRACT
\nThe term of the hire shall be as specified in the specific terms and conditions, which shall set out the scheduled start and end dates and times.
\nThe hire period shall be calculated in twenty-four-hour periods, unless the agreed rate specifies otherwise.
\nEarly return of the vehicle at the customer\u2019s discretion will not automatically entitle the customer to a refund for unused days, unless the agreed rate or specific terms and conditions expressly state otherwise.
\nThe conditions governing cancellation, amendments, refunds and early return will depend on the selected rate plan and must have been communicated to the customer before the booking is confirmed.<\/p>\n

3. EXTENSION OF THE CONTRACT
\nThe customer must return the vehicle on the agreed date and at the agreed time.
\nShould the customer wish to extend the hire period, they must request this from Autos Elizabeth before the contract expires.
\nA request for an extension does not imply its acceptance. The extension will be subject to:
\na) The availability of the vehicle.
\nb) The express approval of Autos Elizabeth.
\nc) An update to the rate, where applicable.
\nd) Payment of any additional charges.
\ne) The validity of the documentation, authorisations and insurance cover.
\nf) The in-person or electronic signature of the extension or the corresponding new contract.
\nThe extension shall only be valid once Autos Elizabeth has issued an express confirmation by a means that allows its content to be verified.
\nAutos Elizabeth may require the return, inspection or replacement of the vehicle before authorising an extension.
\nThere shall be no tacit extension. Use of the vehicle once the contracted period has ended, without express authorisation, shall be deemed unauthorised use.<\/p>\n

4. DELIVERY AND CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE

\na) The contract or handover report.
\nb) Photographs or videos taken by Autos Elizabeth.
\nc) Photographs or videos sent by the customer.
\nd) Electronic records associated with the booking.
\ne) Readings of mileage, fuel level or battery charge.

\nAny fault affecting driving or safety must be reported immediately and before continuing the journey.
\nAcceptance of the vehicle without comment shall not prevent the customer from subsequently reporting a hidden defect, an accidental breakdown or an incident that could not reasonably have been detected at the time of handover.<\/p>\n

5. RETURN OF THE VEHICLE
\nThe customer must return the vehicle:
\na) At the agreed place, date and time.
\nb) In a condition equivalent to that at the time of handover, except for normal wear and tear resulting from proper use.
\nc) With the keys, documentation, tools and accessories received.
\nd) With the fuel level or charge specified in the contract.

\nb) Handover or deposit of the key.
\nc) Locking or securing the vehicle.
\nd) Sending photographs, where requested.

\nWhere Autos Elizabeth expressly states that the key must be left inside the vehicle, this shall not be considered negligence or a breach of contract.
\nAutos Elizabeth will inspect the vehicle within a reasonable period following its return. Any damage or incident detected will be reported to the customer together with the available evidence.<\/p>\n

6. DELAY OR FAILURE TO RETURN
\nReturn of the vehicle after the agreed deadline will entitle Autos Elizabeth to charge for the additional time in accordance with the applicable rate, whilst respecting, where applicable, the grace period communicated to the customer.
\nWhere the delay causes duly substantiated additional losses, Autos Elizabeth may claim reasonable expenses directly related to:
\na) The recovery or location of the vehicle.
\nb) The deployment of staff.
\nc) The loss of a subsequent confirmed booking.
\nd) The need to provide an alternative vehicle to an affected customer.
\nThe retention of the vehicle, failure to return it, an unjustified refusal to hand it over, or a prolonged inability to locate the customer may be reported to the relevant authorities.
\nUnilateral extension of the hire period shall be deemed unauthorised use and may result in the loss of contractual cover in respect of damage caused during that period, where there is a link between the breach and the incident.<\/p>\n

\nThe customer undertakes to pay:
\na) The hire price.

\nb) The reason for the charge.
\nc) The amount.
\nd) The available evidence.
\ne) Whether the settlement is provisional or final.
\nWhere it is not possible to determine the final amount at the outset, Autos Elizabeth may make a reasonable provisional assessment.

\nThe customer may submit comments and provide evidence via the customer service channels provided by Autos Elizabeth.
\nThe customer shall not be charged for pre-existing damage, normal wear and tear, accidental damage or amounts not sufficiently related to their hire period.<\/p>\n

\nThe contract shall be governed by Spanish law.
\nWhere the customer is a consumer, any dispute shall be submitted to the competent courts and tribunals in accordance with consumer protection legislation and the mandatory rules on territorial jurisdiction.
\nWhere the customer is not a consumer, the parties may agree to submit to the courts specified in the specific terms and conditions, provided that such submission is legally valid.<\/p>\n

35. PARTIAL INVALIDITY
\nIf any clause is declared null and void, invalid or unenforceable, this shall not affect the remainder of the contract, which shall remain in force provided it can continue to exist without the clause in question.
\nThe invalid clause shall not be interpreted or replaced in such a way as to reduce the consumer\u2019s mandatory rights.<\/p>\n

36. TRANSLATIONS
\nTranslations are provided to aid the customer\u2019s understanding.
\nAutos Elizabeth shall endeavour to ensure that all versions faithfully reproduce the content of the Spanish version.
\nIn the event of any discrepancy in interpretation, the Spanish version shall prevail, unless a mandatory provision or the specific circumstances of the contract dictate otherwise.<\/p>\n

37. ACCEPTANCE
\nBy signing the contract, either by hand or electronically, the customer declares:
\na) That they have received information regarding the price and the rate.
\nb) That they have had access to these general terms and conditions.
\nc) That they have been informed of the main cover and exclusions.
\nd) That they have reviewed or had access to the documented condition of the vehicle.
\ne) To accept the specific and general terms and conditions of the rental.
\nAcceptance does not imply a waiver of the mandatory rights granted to the customer under applicable legislation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=“Car Rental Agreement“ font_container=“tag:h3|text_align:center“ use_theme_fonts=“yes“][vc_column_text]The customer represents the contract holder. Typically, the driver is the contract holder. Assign a different customer from the driver only if you want the contract to be under another person’s name. This does not affect billing, as you can always request the invoice with different tax details than those on the contract.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
