Having the golden rule in mind, it is nearly unnecessary to write rules for a renter’s desirable behavior. The golden rule says: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” If you think about, how you would love to get your car returned after renting it, you will know how you shall use and return the rented vehicle.
The renter/co-driver accepts the following:
Evеrу drivеr muѕt have a full, vаlid driving licence they hаvе hеld fоr аt lеаѕt 1 year (2 уеаrѕ at сеrtаin lосаtiоnѕ; thiѕ will bе confirmed during the booking process). Expired оr рrоviѕiоnаl liсеnсеѕ will not be ассерtеd.
When bооking thе саr, оur Cоntасt Cеntrе must be аdviѕеd of аnу endorsements / роintѕ оn a driving licence; we rеѕеrvе thе right tо refuse the bооking оn this basis, ассоrding to thе tеrmѕ & conditions of thе саr hirе соmраniеѕ we wоrk with.
The renter shall return the vehicle, together with all tires, tools, documents, accessories and equipment to the rental location stated in the contract.
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.
The car needs to be returned in the same condition as it was received. The car may only be used like a “bonus pater” would have used it (being responsible, drive legally, taking good care of the car etc).
No smoking in the vehicle.
The tank (petrol/diesel) is full at the pick-up and return.
The vehicle must only be operated by the renter and additional drivers who are printed in the car rental agreement and duly qualified and licensed. The age limit for rental is 21 years. The driver must have had a valid driver’s license for at least one year.
The lessor will charge the renter for:
All fines, fees, and costs for traffic or parking violations imposed on the vehicle renter, or lessor during the rental period, except where the violation was the fault of the lessor.
- Expenses for a lost key, stolen car, repairs of damages and any secondary damage on the vehicles, as a result of intention, gross negligence or other violations displayed by the renter or co-driver, regard-less on any collision damage waiver, including but not limited to refueling the vehicle with the wrong type of fuel, failure to react to warning signals from the vehicle’s systems, etc. If the vehicle is returned in an extraordinarily dirty condition, FaroeGuide will charge the renter a fee for extra cleaning, regardless of any insurances taken.
In the event of an accidental mishap, for instance, a puncture, where external help is called, this is at the renter’s own expense.
- Deliver the car without having filled the tank. The renter will be charged for the filling plus 300 DKK.
- The sub-sea tunnel fee is 100 DKK per returned trip through a sub-see tunnel. This is paid cash when the car is returned.
- Up to 5.000 DKK for damage made to the hired vehicle. This is the amount, that is not covered by the insurance. The insurance covers the vehicle and the driver and any other damage caused in an accident for the amount more than 5.000 DKK for damage made to the hired vehicle.
The lessor shall not be held responsible for loss or damage to any property left, stored or transported by the renter or any other person in the vehicle before, during or after the term of the rental contract. Furthermore, the lessor shall not be held responsible for any claims or costs arising from such loss or damage. The renter agrees to defend and indemnify the lessor in the event of such claims or costs.
The lessor, whilst taking all precautions and using his best efforts to prevent such happening, shall not be held responsible for mechanical failure of the vehicle or consequential damage. The renter must always lock the vehicle when it is not in use. All repairs must be authorized by FaroeGuide. Without such authorization, expenses for transport, towing, repairs at a workshop, etc. will not be refunded.
This agreement is to be interpreted in accordance with Danish law with Tórshavn as a legal venue.
Cancellation policy is described formerly and is the same for car rental as for all our products and services.
