  1. BOOKING VIA WEBSITE

Apart from what is stated in the section of the terms of use of the website of the lessor, which has already been read and accepted by the lessee, the online reservation of a car for hire through the website does not require the advance payment of part of the rental fee and in no case constitutes a contract for the provision of vehicle rental services. If the user does not have a debit or credit card, he may make an “online” reservation without payment, pending however the final confirmation of the definitive reservation, after processing his request and approving or not, based on the availability of cars available for the dates requested. The advance, partial or total payment of the rent of the leased car requires pre-approval and acceptance of the lessee’s debit/credit card by the partner financial institution, following the steps and options in the relevant booking platform at the link: __________. A prerequisite for the final car lease through the above mentioned online booking platform is: a) that the terms of this car lease agreement have been read, fully understood and accepted; and b) that the partial or full payment of the rent of the leased car has been made. Otherwise, the lease contract shall be concluded on the spot, upon delivery of the leased car to the lessee and in no case earlier than this point in time. Payment of the rental fee on the spot at the time of delivery and collection of the car shall be made in cash, or by credit or debit card. In any case, the user may contact the company directly in order to be informed of the options and possibilities available to him/her based on the specific data of his/her case.

The company reserves the right, subject to availability, to provide a different type of car from that of the initial reservation with one of a corresponding, or, higher category. Up to 48 hours before the agreed time of delivery of the car, the user may modify the relevant reservation by contacting the company, either by sending an e-mail to info@evince.gr, or by calling: __________. A change in the reservation implies a recalculation of the price according to the rental conditions and benefits of the modified agreement. A change in the tenant’s name or credit card number cannot be made for reservations made online. In this case, please cancel your reservation and make a new reservation.

Once you have made a reservation, we will send you a confirmation receipt with the details of the reservation. It is mandatory to check the data of your reservation (e.g. car category, gearbox (manual/automatic, features). It is not possible to cancel a reservation at the pick-up location if all the conditions of the rental confirmation are met. In this case, any refusal to pick up the rental will be considered a no-show.

The lessor reserves the right to cancel any reservations if the website user has not paid any fee, with or without notice to the user.

  1. RESERVATION CANCELLATION – NO SHOW

In case of cancellation, the full amount of the deposit will be refunded if you cancel your reservation one week prior to the start of your stay. If you cancel more than 48 hours to one week the charge will be 50% of the deposit. If you cancel within less than 48 hours the charge will be 100% of the deposit, regardless of when the booking was made.

Once the booking is cancelled, we will credit the money within approximately 5 working days. The credits will be applied to the same card you used to pay the deposit.

In the event of a no-show, the cost of the entire rental will be charged. In the event of a late arrival of the renter, the charge will be applied from the date and time the reservation was made. In case the renter does not show up (No-Show) within 4 hours from the time of the reservation, the rental company reserves the right to release the car, without guaranteeing the availability of another one. Last minute cancellation at the rental desk will be considered as “No-Show – No Show” and is non-refundable.
