Reserved vehicle
The rental will not necessarily be for a specific vehicle (brand, model, colour, features, etc.) but rather for a vehicle from a group of vehicles with similar technical and comfort characteristics, which will be specified when entering into the rental contract, with the exception of “guaranteed model” vehicles that, in the event of no availability, will be replaced with a model of the same or better characteristics.
The reserved vehicle will be available for a maximum of 3 hours according to reservation. After that time, availability is not confirmed.
-
Rental term
Rentals are calculated for periods of 24 hours, counted from the exact time when the Customer has rented the vehicle until the vehicle is received by NIZA CARS.
The Customer is given a 1 hour grace period for returning the vehicle and a 2 hour grace period when contracting Star Insurance. Return of the vehicle more than 60 minutes after expiry of the agreed rental period will incur a fee of 1 additional day at the current rate.
The term of the contract will be specified within the text thereof, including the location, time and date of collection and the location, time and date of return.
If the Customer decides to end the rental prior to the date indicated in the rental Contract, the Customer will not be entitled to a refund of the amount corresponding to the days on which neither the vehicle nor the contracted extras were enjoyed.
The maximum rental period will be 30 days, unless expressly authorised by NIZA CARS, which reserves the right to extend this period under special terms and conditions.
Return of the vehicle on a date and at a time later than those agreed in the Contract will entitle NIZA CARS to charge the Customer for the rental amount corresponding to the additional days at the rate in effect at said time due to late return.
NIZA CARS reserves the right to bring any legal action deemed necessary in the event that the vehicle disappears or is not returned on the day and at the time agreed in the rental contract.

Contract extension
The Customer is required to return the vehicle on the date and at the time agreed in the previous clause.

No contract can be extended by telephone or any other means of electronic communication. If no vehicles are available or for any other reason, the Customer will be required to return the vehicle on the date, at the time and at the branch office agreed. Otherwise, NIZA CARS reserves the right to bring any legal action deemed necessary.
Unilateral extension of the Contract term by the Customer will also be considered as unauthorised use of the vehicle for the purposes of customer liability regarding any damage incurred by the vehicle.In such cases, in addition to the rental amount corresponding to the additional days for delay in return, NIZA CARS will be entitled to charge the customer the cost of possible legal actions for the recovery of the vehicle.
Under no circumstances will the amount paid as a deposit be used for a contract extension. Hence, if an extension is applied to the Contract, the Customer will be required to make an additional payment for said extension resulting from application of the current rate at the time.
Depending on the initial terms and conditions of the Contract, it may be necessary to draw up a new rental contract when requesting an extension, in which case the original contract will be considered as expired. Said new contract will require payment for the rental according to the rates in effect at such time, as well as payment of a new deposit (see Section 7 - “Payment methods and terms” of this document).
