However, if you wish to have the vehicle delivered, it is important to be present at the delivery location during your requested delivery period and have the necessary items listed in the booking terms and conditions and rental terms and conditions section called 'What you need to rent the vehicle.'

Please note that you will be responsible for paying the fuel used to deliver the vehicle to you at the Pay on Return rates, unless you opt to purchase Fuel up Front. More information can be found in the "Fuel Options" section of this document. The delivery fee varies depending on your rental location and where you want the vehicle delivered. Typically, within town limits, you can expect the fee to be between EUR 20 and EUR 25.

To request delivery, please give us at least one day's notice. While we may be able to accommodate shorter notice requests, it's best to confirm with the rental station or Reservations team.

If you prefer to collect the vehicle, some of our rental locations offer a Collection Service where we can collect the vehicle and any optional extras at a time and place of your choosing. To use this service, you must be available to hand over the vehicle.

When returning the vehicle, you will be responsible for paying the fuel used to return the vehicle to our nearest rental location at Pay on Return rates unless you purchase Fuel up Front.

Do I need to return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel?
Yes, it is required that you return the vehicle with the same amount of fuel it had when you picked it up, which is usually a full tank. At the end of the rental period, you should refuel the vehicle at the closest gas station and keep the receipt as proof. Failure to return the vehicle with a full tank and without a fuel receipt may result in additional charges.

Fuel Options

I am looking to travel a distance of over 120 kms and would like to ensure a hassle-free journey. Is there a fuel option available for me?
Yes, we offer a Fuel Up Front option. You can pay for a full tank of fuel based on the manufacturer's stated fuel tank capacity for your vehicle, along with our refuelling costs. You can then return the vehicle with whatever fuel is left in the tank, even if it's almost empty, as long as the engine is still running.

Can you guide me on determining the fuel tank cost?
During the rental period, Fuel Up Front will be charged based on the average fuel price in Cyprus, which is mentioned in the EU fuel index: http://ec.europa.eu/energy/observatory/oil/bulletin_en.htm. Just to clarify, any unused fuel will not be refunded.

Is it possible to use Fuel Up Front service anytime?
Unfortunately, no. In order to utilize Fuel Up Front service, you must request it during the vehicle pickup process.

If your travel distance is less than 120 kilometers, it is still recommended to fill up the tank near the return location and provide a copy of the receipt to avoid any inconvenience. Even if the fuel gauge shows "full", it might not be accurate. In case you are unable to fill up the tank or show a receipt, EZ Fuel cover can be applied to cover the refueling costs.

What is the cost of EZ Fuel?
The price varies based on your rental location, but you can expect to pay a flat rate between EUR 15.00 and EUR 20.00.

What are my options if I don’t return the vehicle full and haven’t bought Fuel up Front?
Pay on Return will apply if you have driven more than 75 km and:

• Don't buy Fuel Up Front
• Don't return the vehicle with a full tank

How do I calculate the cost of Pay on Return?
When you rent a vehicle from us, the amount you pay for fuel is determined by the fuel gauge that was installed by the factory. We round down to the nearest eighth (1/8) of a tank, based on the fuel tank capacity stated by the manufacturer. At the end of your rental period, we charge you for any fuel that is missing, as well as a EUR 20 refuelling fee. This fee covers the cost of us driving to the closest petrol station on short notice and potentially delaying the next customer's rental.

Is it possible to pick up a rental vehicle from one location and return it to another?

Yes, some rental locations offer the option to collect the vehicle and any additional extras from one location and return them to another within the Republic of Cyprus. The cost, if applicable, will be included in the rate quoted at the time of booking. Please note that an extra fee may apply if you decide to change any of the stations mentioned in the booking.

What is the cost of the One-Way fee?

The price for the One-Way fee varies depending on the rental location. If you are interested in picking up a vehicle and dropping it off at a different location within the same country, you can expect to pay between EUR 20.00 and EUR 70.00.

How can I request a One-Way rental?

You can request a One-Way rental when you book your rental or ask for it when you arrive at the rental location. If you requested a One-Way rental when you booked, the fee will already be included in your rental price.

If I did not request a One-Way rental but decide to return the vehicle to a different location, how much will it cost?
If you did not request a One-Way rental but decide to return the vehicle to a different location, you will be charged a One-Way fee based on the "pay at location" prices available on the day of your return. Please note that the price will depend on the rental location.

The prices for additional services that you select during booking will usually remain the same when you pay. However, circumstances beyond our control, such as exchange rates, may cause changes in prices.
