Tips for drivers
Choose a Vehicle According to Your Needs
Every rent-a-car agency has its own website where you can view available vehicles. Choose a car based on your specific needs. If you're staying only for a few days, a mid-sized car will be more than enough. Small and mid-sized vehicles are also economical, which makes them a great choice. However, if you're planning to stay in one place for several weeks, it would be wise to go for a larger vehicle.
Book Your Vehicle on Time
Once you've chosen your vehicle, the next step is making a reservation. You don’t want someone else to book it before you, right? The process is very simple and takes only a few minutes. Before the trip, double-check with the agency that everything is in order and review the contract. Ask about weekend pricing and whether insurance is included in the initial price.
It often happens that customers only find out at pick-up that they have to pay extra for insurance. Be sure to confirm the return time for the rented car.
Tips Are Always Welcome
Read reviews from other customers – their impressions and which vehicles they recommend. Tips are always welcome, though of course, they should be taken with a grain of salt. This is especially recommended for those using rent-a-car services for the first time.

If damage exists, the Company is entitled to retain the deposit and use it to cover the costs within 30 days of the return.

Delivery outside these locations may be arranged with prior agreement and additional fees in accordance with the Price List.
Vehicle pickup takes place at the exact time stated in the Rental Agreement.

An exception applies in cases of flight delays, which the Client must immediately report to the Company.
If the Client arrives early, the Company will attempt to accommodate early pickup if operationally possible, but is not obliged to do so, nor is the Client entitled to a price reduction if early pickup is not possible.
During vehicle pickup, the Company and the Client must jointly conduct a visual inspection and record all visible internal and external damages or irregularities using a designated form that is part of the Rental Agreement.

The Client assumes full responsibility for any resulting consequences, including transportation, parking, or fines.
The Company allows a delay of up to 3 hours without extra charges. If the delay exceeds 3 hours, an additional rental day will be charged at the full daily rate per the Price List. An exception may be made if the Client provides timely and documented justification (e.g., force majeure, weather conditions, vehicle breakdown, traffic incidents).
The Company reserves the right to assess each delay over 3 hours individually and may reject excuses where Client fault or negligence is evident or presumed. In such cases, the Company may apply the additional day charge as per these Terms and the current Price List.
10. PROVISIONS REGARDING VEHICLE DAMAGE DURING THE RENTAL PERIOD
Vehicle damage is determined by a vehicle inspection carried out by an authorized representative of the Company upon return of the vehicle, by comparing the actual condition of the vehicle with the condition recorded in the vehicle pickup form jointly completed and signed by the Client and the Company. Any new damage not recorded during pickup shall be considered the Client’s responsibility unless the Client proves that the damage was not caused by their fault.
To determine the cost of damage, the Company shall, within 30 days of the vehicle’s return, obtain a quote from an authorized service center for repair or correction of the identified issues. The amount specified in this quote shall be considered the actual and justified cost necessary to restore the vehicle to its proper condition.
If the vehicle inspection was conducted without the Client’s presence, the Company shall provide the Client with photo documentation of the damage, as well as a cost estimate for restoring the vehicle to its prior condition. The Client has the right to dispute the existence and/or scope of the damage within 7 days from the date the photos are sent. After that period, it shall be deemed that the Client has accepted the findings of the inspection.
The Client is obligated to compensate the Company for 20% of the total damage to the vehicle, including but not limited to interior damage (e.g., seats, upholstery, dashboard, audio equipment), regardless of who caused the damage, unless the Client proves that the damage was not caused by them or an authorized driver.

The Client must settle all payment obligations arising from the rental agreement in the official currency of the Republic of Serbia (RSD). For Clients making advance payments to the Company’s foreign currency account, a pro forma invoice will be issued in RSD based on the middle exchange rate of the National Bank of Serbia on the day the payment is received.
A pro forma invoice will be issued in case of advance payment or if the rental agreement is concluded via the Company’s website, where advance payment is required.
The Client has the right to file a complaint regarding the final invoice no later than the end of the day the invoice is delivered via email. In case of an error in the invoice, the Company will void the incorrect invoice and issue a new one to the Client via the same channel.
The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion—taking into account prior cooperation with the Client, the scope of contracted services, total compensation amount, Client status (e.g., regular customer, business partner), and other relevant factors—to waive certain fees listed in the Price List or not require an advance payment or deposit.
Any waived charges will not be included in the fiscal invoice, and the Client will not receive a separate invoice for them. This decision is discretionary, and the Client expressly agrees that such a decision does not entitle them to the same treatment in future transactions.
12. PROVISIONS REGARDING VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONS NOT CAUSED BY THE CLIENT
The Client shall not be held responsible for vehicle malfunctions caused by circumstances unrelated to their actions, negligence, or omissions, nor for defects resulting from manufacturing faults, normal wear and tear, technical failures, or mechanical issues not caused by improper usage by the Client.
If a malfunction prevents the continued safe use of the vehicle and is not the Client’s fault, the Company shall promptly provide a replacement vehicle of the same or higher class, depending on availability. In such a case, the Client will not incur additional costs for the replacement.
The Client is obligated to immediately notify the Company’s authorized representative upon noticing any malfunction, irregularity, or unusual vehicle behavior during use, including but not limited to warning lights on the dashboard, strange noises, changes in engine, brake, or steering performance.
