Goldcar gives a 1 hour grace period for the drop-off of vehicles without any additional
osts to the customers. Therefore, Goldcar permits customers to return their rental vehicles up to 1 hour later than the time stated on the rental contract.
-
The car hire contract may have a maximum duration of 90 days. After 90 days, a new contract is required.
Fuel
-
Returning rental vehicles is done in seconds as Goldcar delivers its vehicles with a full
tank of fuel and clients should return the vehicle with the least amount of fuel
possible, as this reduces waiting time at check-out as well as anxiety related to filling up
the fuel tank before dropping off the car.
-
There is no refund on unused fuel. The only exception to this rule is for rental
periods of 3 days or less when we refund the client's credit card, upon request of the
client at the drop-off office, with the equivalent value of the fuel left in the tank.
-
The cost of the petrol will be paid when the client picks up the vehicle and the price will
depend on the make and model of the vehicle the customer receives. The cost of petrol
will be between 40 € and 150 €, depending on the make/model of the rental
vehicle supplied to the client.
-
Diesel vehicles are available, normally at an additional charge of 2 € per day, but diesel
vehicles can never be confirmed to the client before pick-up. If the client wants to hire a
diesel car he should ask for it upon arrival.
Payment details
-
We accept credit cards to pay the costs of cars rental, fuel and other local extras. The
main driver of the car rental contract must be the cardholder of one of the following valid
credit cards: MasterCard and VISA.
-
We also accept debit cards and EC-Karte. This condition implies the costumers will have
to purchase the additional insurance Relax
-
We do not accept payment by American Express, Postepay or Diners. Nor will accept payment in cash. We have always been very flexible in accepting payment in cash, but unfortunately, due to increased thefts of vehicles, we have been forced to take such decision.
