Rental Terms & Conditions

** Translation Note: This is a translation from Finnish, and Finnish terms primarily apply .**

1. Formation of the Car Rental Agreement The rental agreement is established regardless of the method of ordering the car, always between the "Lessor" and the person signing the rental agreement or the legal entity (hereinafter referred to as the "Lessee") that the person signing the rental agreement represents in the rental transaction. The Lessee must have a valid driving license, sufficient driving skills considering the conditions, and at least one year of driving experience. The creation of the rental agreement is conditional on the Lessee giving permission for a credit information check.

2. Handover of the Car to the Lessee The Lessor must hand over the car to the Lessee in a usable condition and in accordance with the law, at the agreed time and place. The handover of the car occurs without a separate agreement at 4:00 PM. Additionally, the Lessor must provide sufficient guidance on the use of the car upon the Lessee's separate request.
The car to be rented has been inspected by the Lessor or their partner before being handed over to the Lessee. However, the Lessee is also obliged to inspect the car upon receipt to verify any existing damages or deficiencies. Any damages or deficiencies must be immediately reported to the Lessor and recorded in the rental agreement.

3. Use of the Car During the Rental Period The Lessee is obliged to take care of the car as well as a careful person would take care of their own, and to exercise special care and caution while driving. The Lessee commits to using the car only in a normal manner intended for it. During the rental period, the Lessee must ensure normal maintenance of the car's condition, such as tire pressure and the sufficient filling of oil and other fluids. The car must be locked without fail even if it is left parked for a short period.
The Lessee commits to driving the car themselves. They may hand over the car to another person or for another person to drive only if a specific permission for this has been noted in the rental agreement. The Lessee is obliged to inform the person to whom they hand over the car about the content of this agreement.
Using the car for illegal purposes, towing, competitions or their practice sessions, driving lessons, and driving on ice is prohibited. The car may not be taken outside the borders of Finland unless specifically agreed upon with the Lessor. Smoking in the car is prohibited, as is transporting pets without a specific agreement. The Lessee is always fully responsible for any parking, parking violation, and overload fees, as well as fines for speeding and other traffic violations or breaches incurred during the rental period. By signing the rental agreement, the Lessee authorizes the Lessor to provide their personal information to authorities for the determination of the aforementioned penalties. The fuel used in the car is indicated in the rental agreement and/or the car's registration certificate. The Lessee pays for the fuel they use.

4. The Lessee's Responsibility for the Car and Its Equipment During the Rental Period, Deductible The Lessee is obliged to compensate the Lessor for any damages and losses to the car or its equipment during the rental period, and to pay for the repair time, up to a maximum of 30 days, at a compensation rate of 100€ per beginning day. However, the Lessee's liability is limited to a basic deductible of 1200€. The basic deductible is charged separately for each incident. The Lessee is obliged to compensate the Lessor in full without any deductible limit if the damages were caused or resulted from any of the following: overloading, smoking in the car, damages to the car's upholstery, driving with over- or under-inflated tires, loss of keys, using the wrong fuel and other incorrect fluid fills, snow damages when warned by signs, driving on poor roads or areas, or any other careless or incorrect use of the car. The Lessee's full liability also always covers damages that are directly or indirectly caused by the Lessee's criminal actions, driving under the influence of alcohol or other intoxicating substances, or any intentional or gross negligence in breaching the contract terms. The Lessee is relieved of liability towards the Lessor, including the deductible, if the Lessor receives full compensation for the damage from a third party responsible for the damage or their insurance company.

5. Procedure in Case of Damage or Breakdown The Lessee must immediately notify the Lessor of any defects or damage to the car occurring during the rental period. Crimes against the car, traffic accidents, and personal and animal injuries must also be immediately reported to the police. In case of damage, the Lessee must always fill out a written damage report for the Lessor. The Lessee is fully responsible for any damages resulting from the failure to report as mentioned above. The Lessor is responsible for technical defects in the car occurring during the rental period that are not due to the Lessee's misuse and/or negligence.

Provided that the defect or fault is the responsibility of the Lessor and if necessary for the continuation of the trip, the Lessee may have the car repaired at the Lessor's expense up to a value of 75 euros. A receipt of the repair work and payment must be provided to the Lessor.

6. Payment of Rent Unless otherwise agreed, the Lessee pays the rent in advance to the Lessor's designated account. By making the rental agreement, the Lessee accepts the final invoice prepared in advance for the rental without personally signing it.

It is specifically noted that the Lessor has the right charge the Lessee specified in the rental agreement, in addition to the agreed rent, for additional charges including but not limited to the basic deductible, fuel charges, rents and fees due to the extension of the rental period, delivery and collection charges of the car, parking fines incurred during the rental period, private parking enforcement charges, fines, tolls, congestion charges, overload charges, and other similar fees along with administrative costs. If the legal entity listed as the Lessee in the agreement is unwilling or unable to pay the rent, the person who signed the agreement on behalf of the said Lessee is personally responsible for the rent, as well as for any additional charges related to the rental according to these terms.

7. The Lessor's Liability for Defects in the Car and Delays If a technical defect or other fault occurs in the car during the rental period for which the Lessee is not responsible according to the rental terms, the Lessee may demand that the Lessor repair the fault or provide a corresponding discount. If the Lessor is unable to deliver the rental car for the Lessee's use in accordance with the terms of the rental agreement, the Lessee is entitled to compensation for direct reasonable costs caused by the delay. However, the Lessor's liability for compensation is limited to a maximum of the rent paid by the Lessee.

8. Returning the Car at the End of the Agreed Rental Period The Lessee must return the car with all its equipment to the agreed place at the end of the rental period. The car must be returned without a separate agreement by 12:00 PM. The agreed rental period ends when the car, along with the keys, is returned to the possession of the Lessor. If the car is not returned in this manner, and no extension of the rental period has been verifiably agreed upon, the Lessor may report the matter to the police. A late return fee of 30€ per beginning hour will be charged to the Lessee for the delay, along with compensation for the Lessor for additional work and other financial damages related to the delay. Unless otherwise agreed, the car must be returned with a full tank, cleaned inside, and with the toilet and greywater tanks emptied and one gas bottle full. The Lessee is obliged to compensate the Lessor for the costs of cleaning the car's interior. The hourly rate for labor is charged at 90€/hr. Additionally, a fee of 100€ for emptying the toilet and 50€ for emptying the greywater tank will be charged. If the Lessee returns the car with a less than full tank, the cost of the fuel to be filled will be charged, plus an additional 50€ refueling fee. The Lessor is not responsible for any property left in the car at the time of return.

9. Returning the Car Before the End of the Agreed Rental Period Returning the car before the end of the agreed rental period does not entitle the Lessee to any compensation. If an exceptional return time of the car is not agreed upon before the start of the rental, the Lessor has the right to charge for the reception of the car at 70€/hr.

10. Binding nature and termination of the agreement The reservation is mutually binding when the Renter has paid the agreed reservation fee. The Renter has 1 day to pay the reservation fee, which is 300 euros. The reservation fee is not refundable. If the reservation fee is delayed, the reservation is no longer binding on the Lessor. The full rental amount must be paid 14 days before the start of the rental.

There are no legal claims for reservation exchange or date changes. The Lessor has the right to terminate the agreement immediately if it becomes apparent that the Lessee is significantly breaching the contract terms or has provided incorrect information. In this case, the Lessee is obliged to immediately return the car with all its equipment to the agreed return location. Either party may terminate the agreement if the car is stolen or if a fault occurs in the car that is the responsibility of the Lessor and prevents the use of the car, and the Lessor does not provide a replacement car within a reasonable time from notification.

11. Disputes Regarding the Rental Agreement Disputes relating to the rental agreement are primarily to be resolved through negotiation. If a dispute is brought before a court, it will be resolved by the district court closest to the Lessor's place of residence.
