Do I need to wash the car before returning it in Bratislava?
No. We understand you are busy traveling, so a standard exterior wash and basic interior tidying (dust, footprints on mats) are already covered in the rental price. You can return the car directly after your usual trips around the city or highways.
Please keep in mind one exception: if the car is returned excessively dirty (such as thick mud inside after mountain excursions, stained upholstery, heavy pet hair, or tobacco smells), a deep cleaning fee may be charged. With standard, respectful use, there are no additional costs!

What does the basic insurance include in Bratislava?
Our Basic Insurance (CDW) includes mandatory Third-Party Liability (TPL), along with protection against theft and collision damage, subject to an excess (deductible). In the event of an incident, your financial responsibility is limited to the amount of your security deposit.
Please note: The basic policy does not cover damage to side mirrors, glass, tires, or the undercarriage. For complete peace of mind, we recommend our Gold coverage, which provides full protection and the added benefit of a zero-deposit rental.

How much is the security deposit, and when is it returned?
The security deposit amount depends on the vehicle class and typically ranges from 500 to 2,000 EUR. You will see the specific amount during the booking process (remember: a deposit is not required if you choose our full coverage plans).
The deposit is released immediately upon the car's return and inspection. If the funds were held on your bank card, the actual time it takes for them to appear back in your account depends on your bank, typically taking between 1 and 7 business days.
