FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
In what condition should I return the vehicle?
- You must return the vehicle in the same condition as it was delivered. With a full tank of gas, without waste and the road safety equipment complete.
- The mats must be shaken out.
- When you come back from swimming at the beach, before getting into the vehicle, be sure to rinse yourself well with fresh water. Indeed, sea water is salty, when you do not rinse yourself, it makes white marks on the seats of the vehicle. These marks will bake with the heat and become impossible to remove later. The best thing is to always have a change of clothes so that you are always dry when you get into the vehicle.
- Cleaning fees may apply if the vehicle is filled with sand.
