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.
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.
