If the vehicle is returned outside the rental location’s opening hours, time of delivery will be at the rental locations proximate opening. The period of the contract is as specified in the contract. This period may be extended with the written permission of CARRENT. If the vehicle is not returned within the contract period, the renter is liable for all losses and damage occurring after the contract period until the time of delivery. Failure to deliver the vehicle within the contract period or cases of non-payment, will result in the renter being subject to the Penal Code § 293.


2. The renter, on receipt of the vehicle, shall examine the vehicle’s brakes, steering, indicators and lights and ensures that these are functional according to current regulations. The seals on the mileage recorder must remain intact and if they are broken the renter shall forfeit his deposit in favour of CARRENT. The renter has received the vehicle in good condition and acknowledges liability for the cost of all fuel, oil and water consumed during the rental period. In the event of accidental mishap, for instance a puncture, where help is called, this is at the renter’s own expense. For leasing and monthly rentals all costs for roadside service must be paid by the renter if engine failure is self-inflicted.

The age limits for rental is 21 years. The driver must have had a valid driver’s license for at least one year. The vehicle may not be used

Provided the vehicle is operated in accordance with all the terms of the rental agreement, the renter’s max. liability per accident is DKK 7.000 and DKK 450 per day the vehicle is out of production. The above mentioned loss shall be waived if the renter has purchased in advance the collision waiver as endorsed by his intials in the “Accepts” space provided on page 1 hereof. The car insurance however only cowers damage to the car and liability, but not theft of the car, and not the renters belongings. The insurance (SCDW) does not cover glas, tyre and road assistance.
