No-show. If you do not arrive within 4 hours of the confirmed pick-up time (within working hours) and have not phoned Surprice to report a delay, the reservation may be treated as a no-show and a vehicle may not be provided. Bookings with flight details supplied in advance may be treated as an exception.

Pick-up. If you do not appear four hours after the confirmed pick-up time and do not notify Surprice by phone, they may declare a no-show and are not obliged to provide a car if you arrive later.

Drop-off. Rates assume collection and return at the same location. Rental days run on a 24-hour basis from pick-up. There is a two-hour grace period at drop-off; beyond two hours an additional day is charged.

Non-refundable rates: the full rental amount is charged in the event of a no-show or last-minute cancellation.

Early return. If you end the rental before the agreed return date, no refund is due for unused days.

• A valid passport or national ID must be presented — physical documents only. Digital versions or photocopies are not accepted.
• A European or International Driving Licence issued at least one year before the rental is mandatory. Without it the vehicle will not be released.
• If the licence has been renewed and shows only the renewal date, proof of the original issue date is also required.
• UK licence holders must present the official photocard.
• For licences not in the Roman alphabet (Arabic, Greek, Russian, Chinese, etc.), both an International Driving Permit and the domestic licence are required.
• Renting inside the EU with a non-EU licence requires both the domestic licence and an International Driving Permit.
• For licences from countries outside the IDP treaty, an official translation issued at least 7 days before pick-up must accompany the original licence.

The main driver must present a credit card in their own name at pick-up. Failure to meet the rental requirements results in cancellation at the desk with no refund due.

A deposit is held as a pre-authorisation on the credit card for the vehicle excess. It is blocked for the duration of the hire and released automatically at the end; depending on the bank, release can take 15–25 working days.

If the driver cannot provide sufficient means for the pre-authorisation, purchasing additional coverage to reduce the excess to zero may be mandatory.

The card's expiry date must be at least one month after the drop-off date.

Accepted for the deposit

Third Party Liability (TPL) — included

Cover up to EUR 1,300,000 for physical damage and EUR 1,300,000 for property damage.

A police report is mandatory after an accident to satisfy the insurer. Damage caused by weather through the customer's negligence is not covered. An excess applies in the event of damage.

Theft Protection (TP) — included

The key must be presented to the insurer to qualify for cover; otherwise the renter is liable for the full value of the vehicle. An excess applies.

Optional extra cover

• Super Collision Damage Waiver (SCDW) — reduces the excess for an extra daily charge. A reduced deposit is still required.
• Full Damage Waiver (FDW) — reduces the excess to zero. A deposit is still required.
• Extra Plus — adds tyres, glass and mirrors for an extra daily charge; can be combined with CDW, SCDW or FDW.

Not covered by any option

• The undercarriage and roof of the vehicle.
• Interior damage caused by the customer's negligence.

Cover may be invalidated in cases of gross negligence, off-road driving, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or if the vehicle is driven by an unauthorised person. SCDW and FDW are likewise voided in those circumstances.
