What to consider when returning the hired car?

⌃
Returning hired car

For the return of your hired car, you should allow enough buffer time to avoid being pressed for time.

The fair refuelling regulation

Since most car hire companies work with the fair fuel regulation, you should return the hired car with a full tank. In return, you will receive the hired car with a full tank and can therefore start your trip relaxed.

Document the condition of the vehicle

Have the condition of your vehicle documented and countersigned by a service employee of the car hire company. This way you can be sure that all damages have been recorded. If no damage has occurred, the deposit amount on your credit card will of course be released to you again. 

Car hire return outside the opening hours of the car hire company

Are you travelling particularly early or very late? Then you can return your hired car also outside the opening hours of the car hire. Inform your car hire agency in advance and ask about the procedure. In principle, the automated return takes place with the help of a safe, in which you can put the key after returning the vehicle. 

Can I return the hired car in another city?

Payment with PayPal

You can book a hired car in Kiel without a credit card. Numerous car hire companies already offer alternative payment methods to the credit card. To get all the corresponding offers for payment options at a glance, you can simply select the desired options under the "Included Services" tab on our booking page. Most car hire companies work with the payment via PayPal.

What insurance can I take out for my hired car?

⌃
Insurance

Comprehensive insurance for complete protection

Basically, we recommend you to book a fully comprehensive insurance without deductible. This way you are well covered in case of damage and do not have to expect additional costs. In addition, you should pay attention to a particularly high coverage amount for the legal liability insurance. The road conditions in and around Hamburg are usually very good. Further insurances such as glass and tire insurance, underbody insurance and roof insurance are not mandatory, but make sense in individual cases. 

What to consider in case of damage

In case of damage, you may have to advance the costs on site. However, these will be reimbursed to you immediately by your contractual partner. For reimbursement, submit the invoice for the damage incurred to our partner (on time and in full) after returning the car. After checking the submitted documents, the amount will be refunded to your account.
