Dear Customer, your contract partner is the respective local rental station that will hand the vehicle over to you. Therefore, upon conclusion of a contract on the booking of a motorhome, the following Rental Terms and Conditions (to the extent effectively agreed) will become part of the contract coming about between the partners and licensees of McRent
Holding GmbH, i.e. the respective local rental station (hereinafter referred to as the „Rental Firm“) and you (hereinafter referred to as the „Hirer“). Please read these Terms and Conditions of Business carefully.
Standard Rental Terms and Conditions of McRent, its Partners and Licensees
1. Scope, Contents of Contract, Applicable Law
1.1 The following Standard Terms and Conditions [AGB] of McRent, its partners and licenses (hereinafter referred to as „Rental Firm“) apply exclusively. Any terms and conditions of the Hirer that contradict or deviate from the Standard Terms and Conditions of the Rental Firm will not be recognised. The Standard Terms and Conditions of the Rental Firm will
even apply if the Rental Firm hires the motorhome out to the Hirer without reservations, knowing that terms and conditions of the Hirer contradict or deviate from these Standard Terms and Conditions.
1.2 The exclusive subject matter of the contract with the Rental Firm is the hiring out of the motorhome. The Rental Firm is under no obligation to provide any travel services, and in particular no package of travel services.
1.3 In the event of booking, a rental contract will come about between the Rental Firm and the Hirer(s) that is exclusively governed by Spanish law. The Hirer will organise his journey himself and make use of the vehicle on his own responsibility. The rental contract is limited to the specific period agreed. Any tacit extension of the rental for an indefinite period of
time on the basis of continued use is hereby excluded.
1.4 All agreements between the Rental Firm and the Hirer must be concluded in writing.
2. Minimum Age, Authorised Drivers
2.1 The Hirer and any other driver must be at least 25 years old and must have been in possession of a Class B or comparable international driving licence for at least two years. Any persons not resident in the territory of the EU must be in possession of an international driving licence.
2.2 Please note that some of the Rental Firm‘s vehicles have a total weight of more than 3.5 tonnes and that an appropriate driving licence is required for driving such vehicles. Persons in possession of a Class B driving licence must, as a precaution, consult the Rental Firm about the technically permissible total weight of the vehicle rented.
2.3 If, upon renting, a respective driving licence cannot be presented, the motorhome shall be regarded as not collected. In such case, there shall apply the respective terms of cancellation (see 4.2).
2.4 The vehicle may only be driven by the Hirer and the drivers named in the rental contract.
3. Rental Charges and their Calculation, Rental Period
3.1 The applicable rental charges are those stated in the Rental Firm‘s price list in force at the time the contract is concluded. Any minimum rental period that may be prescribed during particular travel periods is likewise indicated in the Rental Firm‘s price list in force at the time the contract is concluded. The prices applicable are those specified in the price list for the season within which the rental period booked falls. A flat rate service charge will be invoiced for every rental. The amount of that charge can also be gathered from the Rental Firm‘s price list in force at the time the contract is concluded.
3.2 The rental charges for optional accessories can be gathered from the Rental Firm‘s price list in force at the time the contract is concluded.
3.3 The minimum rental period is seven days.
3.4 The respective rental charges include: VAT at a rate of 21 %, unlimited mileage, insurance cover according to the German „Kasko“ insurance model (cf. Section 11) and the vehicle manufacturer‘s mobility guarantee.

3.6 If the vehicle is returned after the time agreed in writing, the Rental Firm will charge an amount of € 27.00 per hour of delay (up to a maximum charge equal to the relevant full-day price for every day late). Any costs incurred as a result of claims asserted by a subsequent hirer or any other person against the Rental Firm on the ground of a late receipt of the vehicle that the Hirer is responsible for are to be borne by the Hirer.
3.7 If the vehicle is returned before the expiry of the agreed rental period, the full contractually agreed rental charge must be paid.
3.8 The motorhome will be supplied with a full tank and must be returned in the same condition. Otherwise, the Rental Firm will charge an amount of € 2.20 per litre of diesel fuel. Fuel and running costs during the rental period are to be borne by the Hirer.
3.9 In case the vehicle is returned at a rental station other than the rental station where it was received, there must be concluded a separate agreement with the Rental Firm and a respective amount to be agreed upon before the delivery of the vehicle must be paid.
4. Reservations and Changes in Bookings
4.1 Reservations are only binding after they have been confirmed by the Rental Firm and only for vehicle groups, not for vehicle types. This will also apply if a specific vehicle type is mentioned as an example in the description of the vehicle group.

5.3 In case of short-notice bookings (less than 35 days before the date of rental), both the security deposit and the rental charge will be due immediately.
5.4 The Rental Firm will reimburse the security deposit upon proper return of the vehicle and settlement of the final rental account, after the vehicle has been inspected by an authorized representative of the Rental Firm who, in case of defects due to improper use, has to fix the amount to be paid by the Hirer. Said amount will be deducted from the security deposit, in which connection the Hirer agrees to settle any differences if the scope of defects exceeds the amount of the security deposit made. If an immediate assessment of the damage should not be possible, the Rental Firm shall have a period of 30 days for making
the final account and reimbursing the security deposit, if applicable, or asserting possible differences between the latter and the actual expenses for the rectification of the defects. In case of an accident, there is moreover deducted the excess of the car insurance [Kasko] from the security deposit. In case a reimbursement of the rental charge paid in advance should become necessary, it shall be reimbursed together with the security deposit.
5.5 The Hirer expressly obliges himself to pay the following to the Rental Firm:
a. Upon return of the vehicle, the kilometre charge for three-day rental according to the rates in force and/or the additional charges resulting from the application of these Standard Rental Terms and Conditions;

d. In case of a retention or attachment of the vehicle due to the Hirer‘s fault, all respective costs shall be borne by the latter, including the expenses for the loss of prof t of the Rental Firm of the retained or attached vehicle during the period the vehicle is immobilized;

5.6 If the Hirer defaults on payment, default interest will be charged in accordance with the applicable statutory regulations.
6. Vehicle Collection and Return
6.1 Before taking the wheel, the Hirer is obliged to take part in a detailed introduction to the vehicle by the Rental Firm‘s experts at the rental station. On that occasion, there is drawn up a detailed report (Check Out) of delivery describing the condition of the vehicle that is to be signed by both parties. The Rental Firm is entitled to refuse to hand over the vehicle
until this introduction has taken place.
6.2 Upon return of the vehicle, the Hirer is obliged to carry out a final examination of the vehicle together with rental station staff, with a written return report (Check In) to be prepared and jointly signed by the Rental Firm and the Hirer.

6.4 In the event of a non-approved delay in return, a contractual penalty to the amount of three times the contractually agreed price is to be paid. If a return on the agreed day should not be possible due to force majeure, the respective reason must be immediately communicated to the Rental Firm in order to obtain the approval of the latter; otherwise the delay is regarded as non-approved.
6.5 If the Hirer desires an extension of the rental relationship, he must communicate that to the Rental Firm at least three days before the expiration of the contract. A possible confirmation of the extension then will depend on the current availability situation of the Rental Firm so that the latter does not enter into any respective obligations in advance.
6.6 Any alteration of the period of the rental is subject to approval by the Rental Firm. A failure to comply with these Terms and Conditions entitles the Rental Firm to take the vehicle back or to claim it back before court. The Rental Firm reserves the right to a return of the vehicle at any time during the term of contract if its utilization infringes the contractual provisions set forth herein.
6.7 If, upon return of the vehicle at the end of the rental term, the Hirer, for reasons he is responsible for, is not present in case of return by leaving the keys in a box or due to nonavailability and any damage is detected on the vehicle, he must accept the assessment of the damage based on the inspection made by the Rental Firm‘s staff.

It is not permitted to accept any
third-party claims as valid.
8.2 Except for a „declaration of amicable settlement“, there must not be made any admission of fault or any anticipations with regard to fault. The Hirer must record the data of the other party involved in the accident and of the witnesses and send them, together with information on the way the accident happened, to the Rental Firm within the defined period and must immediately inform the authorities if the accident was caused due to the fault of the other party involved in the accident.

8.4 Also in case of a damage without an adverse party, the Hirer must, irrespective of the amount of the damage, prepare a detailed written report together with a respective sketch for the Rental Firm. If the Hirer, for whatever reason, fails to write the report and that way causes that the insurance company does not pay compensation for the damage, he shall
be obliged to pay the respective total amount.
8.5 The vehicle must not be left without taking measures for appropriately securing and protecting it, for which purpose the road traffic safety organization named by the insurance company is to be contacted, if necessary.

9.1 Any claims for damages of the Hirer on the basis of defects that the Rental Firm is not responsible for are hereby excluded.
9.2 Any defects in the motorhome or its equipment that are discovered after the commencement of the hire must be reported in writing to the Rental Firm by the Hirer when returning the vehicle. Claims for damages based on subsequently notified defects shall be excluded unless the claim is based on a non-obvious defect.

10.3 The Hirer may order repairs that are necessary in order to maintain the vehicle in a good working and roadworthy condition during the rental period provided they do not exceed a price of EUR 150.00. He only needs the approval of the Rental Firm for that purpose. The latter will assume the repair costs against submission of the original invoices and the
parts replaced, as long as the Hirer is not liable for the damage pursuant to Section 11 below. This does not apply to tyre damage.
10.4 If a defect for which the Rental Firm is responsible makes such a repair necessary and if the Hirer does not have the defect rectified on his own initiative, the Hirer must notify the Rental Firm of the defect immediately and set a reasonable deadline for its repair. The Rental Firm does not assume liability for any circumstances specific to a particular country
(e.g. infrastructure) that may delay the repair.
10.5 In case of damage to components of the living area, the Hirer must report such damage immediately to the Rental Firm from whom he will get the respective instructions for the repair.
10.6 If, without any fault on the part of the Hirer, the motorhome suffers serious damage or if it is foreseeable that the vehicle cannot be used for an unreasonably long time or is to be taken off the road and the Rental Firm can provide the Hirer with a substitute vehicle with either the same or a higher number of places within a reasonable period of time, a termination of the contract is excluded.
10.7 If, due to the Hirer‘s fault, the motorhome suffers serious or if it is foreseeable that the vehicle cannot be used for a longer time or is to be taken off the road, the Rental Firm can refuse the supply of a substitute vehicle. In such case, a termination of the contract by the Hirer is excluded. In case the Rental Firm can make a substitute vehicle available to the Hirer, it can charge the resulting costs to the Hirer‘s account.
11. Hirer‘s Liability, Vehicle Insurance
11.1 In accordance with the principles of a comprehensive vehicle insurance [Kasko insurance], the Rental Firm will, in case of a damage, fully indemnify the Hirer against liability for material damage, subject to an excess to an amount of EUR 1500.00 to be borne by the Hirer.
11.2 Under no circumstance, the Hirer is released from its liability under civil law, administrative law or criminal law as a consequence of accidents or negligent acting.
11.3 The indemnity against liability according to Section 12.1 will not apply if the Hirer fails to observe the rules set forth in the subsections of Section 8.
11.4 The indemnity against liability according to Section 12.1 will not apply if the Hirer has caused a damage by intent or gross negligence.
11.5 In case of negligence, the Hirer will be moreover liable in the following cases:

b. if loss/damage was caused by impaired ability to drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol;
c. if the Hirer or a driver to whom the Hirer has left the vehicle commits hit-and-run driving (absconds after an accident);
d. if the Hirer, contrary to the obligation set forth in Section 8, fails to call the police to an accident, unless such breach of obligation has neither affected the assessment of the cause of the damage nor the assessment of the amount of damage;
e. if the Hirer breaches any other obligations under Section 8, unless such breach of obligation has neither affected the assessment of the cause of the damage nor the assessment of the amount of damage;
f. if loss/damage is due to usage prohibited under Section 7.1;
g. if loss/damage is due to a breach of an obligation according to Section 7.2;
h. if loss/damage is caused by an unauthorised driver to whom the Hirer has left the vehicle;
i. if loss/damage is due to a failure to take account of the vehicle‘s dimensions (height, width, length);
j. if loss/damage is due to a failure to comply with the load regulations.
11.6 The Hirer is liable for all costs, fees, fines and penalties imposed on the Rental Firm in connection with the use of the vehicle, unless they are based on a fault on part of the Rental Firm.
11.7 Several Hirers a are jointly and severally liable.
12. Liability of the Rental Firm, Statute of Limitation
12.1 The Hirer must return the vehicle in a fl awless condition after respective inspection and performance of maintenance work required for its perfect operation. The Hirer shall be neither liable for cases of technical failure or breakdown attributable to normal wear and tear of the vehicle nor for any costs, delays or impairments that occurred directly or indirectly
as a consequence of such failure or breakdown.
12.2 If a supply of the vehicle in due time is not possible due to force majeure, accidental events or reasons that the Hirer is not responsible for, that does not cause a right to claim damages, except for the repayment of the amount paid on account for the reservation by the Rental Firm to the Hirer.
12.3 The Rental Firm does not assume liability for the Hirer‘s car parked on its premises free of charge during the term of rental of the motorhome.
12.4 The Rental Firm is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence. In case of simple negligence, the Rental Firm is only liable for foreseeable loss/damage typical of the type of contract concerned, if there is a breach of an obligation the meeting of which is of particular importance to the achievement of the purpose of the contract (cardinal duty).
This standard of liability also applies in cases of obstacles to performance upon conclusion of the contract.
12.5 There apply the Standard Terms and Conditions [AGB] available at the rental station at the start of the rental.
13. Place of Jurisdiction
For all disputes arising out of or in connection with the rental contract for the motorhome, it is hereby agreed that the place of jurisdiction shall be that of the respective rental station.

The rates on this website are often heavily discounted. This is due to our negotiated rates and bulk buying power. On very rare occasions, a rate may be displayed incorrectly due to our, or a vehicle supplier's error. In such a case, if you book with us at a quoted rate that is incorrect, we will notify you of any price change and give you the option to proceed or cancel. We make every effort to keep information on our site up to date, but we cannot guarantee this website is free of errors or omissions and retain the right to update or change the information published at any time.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law we/the owners of this website will not be liable to you or to any third party (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) for any direct, indirect or consequential loss or damage (including but not limited to any accident, injury, delay or loss of enjoyment) arising out of your reliance upon information contained on this website, including but not limited to your use (or inability to use) any products or services described or procured through this website.
When you pick up your vehicle, you will be required to sign a rental agreement with the supplier of the vehicle. Your rental and use of the vehicle will be governed by the terms of the rental agreement and any other documentation or information provided to you by the supplier at the time you pick up your vehicle. The rental agreement is between you and the supplier and we will not be liable to you or to any third party in relation to the terms of the supplier’s rental agreement or any other documentation provided to you by the supplier at the time of pick up.
While we will make reasonable efforts to ensure we are representing only reputable suppliers, we make no warranty about the fitness or suitability of any third party (supplier) product or service and will not accept responsibility for the quality or fitness of any vehicle. We welcome feedback from our customers on their experience with our suppliers. We may, at our discretion, provide you with reasonable assistance in resolving any dispute you may have with a supplier.
Our total liability to you in relation to your use of this website and the information contained on this website will not exceed the dollar amount of the deposit we have received from you in relation to your booking/rental. Refunds will not be made for bookings cancelled due to inclement weather. Again, we strongly recommend that you take out travel insurance. Your use of this website is governed by the laws of New Zealand and the jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts.
Booking information
To make a booking you must complete our booking form which is easy to follow and secured with the latest encryption technology. Once we receive your form, we will, subject to availability, confirm your booking by emailing you a confirmation voucher and invoice. The deposit required to secure your vehicle (as shown on the secure booking page) will only be processed on your credit card when your booking is confirmed. Please note that a 1.75% credit card charge will be added when your payment is processed.
A booking is confirmed when you have been emailed a confirmation voucher and at this stage the deposit is processed on your card and becomes non-refundable and any cancellation fees stated in the supplier's terms apply. Upon receipt of your confirmation, please check your details carefully and notify us immediately if there are any incorrect details, as it may not be possible to make changes at a later date.
If you are booking via phone, please make sure you have read the terms and conditions of the vehicle you wish to rent first. Our reservations consultant will ask you if you have read the terms and agree to them before proceeding. The onus is always on the renter to ensure they make themselves fully aware of the terms displayed on our website.
Information disclosure
In booking on this website you acknowledge that we disclose your information to your selected Supplier in order to provide the requested rental services.
Amendments
Please note that some suppliers treat an amendment as a new booking and apply the rate current at the time the amendment is made to recalculate the entire booking amount (not just the days changed). If the rental period is increased, an additional deposit may be required. If the rental period is shortened which results in a reduction of the rental charges, the deposit amount will remain unchanged, and the difference between the original and revised deposit is forfeited (it cannot be used towards remaining rental charges). To request a change to a confirmed booking, please use the alterations request link on your confirmation. Any alterations are subject to availability and the approval of the supplier. In addition to the alteration policy of the supplier stated in their terms, the following charges will apply:
Car rental alterations (all charges stated in local currency):
To change dates or times that result in a recalculation of rental rates, or to change vehicles or locations: 25.00
To add or remove extras to/from a confirmed booking: 10.00
Motorhome rental alterations (all charges stated in local currency):
To change dates or times that result in a recalculation of rental rates, or to change vehicles or locations: 75.00
To add or remove extras to/from confirmed booking: 20.00
The alteration fee will not be charged if your alteration request is not possible.
Vehicle Capacity and fitness to drive
Under no circumstances are you permitted to carry more passengers than the vehicle you rent is legally registered to carry, and if you do your insurance may be invalidated. The number of seatbelts (and passengers) is indicated next to each vehicle on this website. Luggage capacity where shown is an indication only and we will not be responsible should you be unable to fit your entire luggage into a vehicle. It is your responsibility to choose a journey that is within your capabilities. A vehicle supplier can refuse to rent a vehicle to any person who is in their opinion unfit to drive or does not meet eligibility requirements. In such circumstances we will have no further liability to you.
