Make sure you have ready all the necessary documents before you arrive at the desk.

A deposit will be held on the credit card and released only once the car is returned in the same condition as when it left. We therefore recommend you fully inspect the vehicle during pick-up and note anything of concern on the pick-up slip. Take photographic and video evidence if possible.
