This service provides you with the flexibility of self drive car rental. Every rental car is collected from your chosen Europcar depot and can be returned either to the same location or any other Europcar depot within the city of rental origin, (one way rental). Bookings are made on a time & kilometre basis, but overnight rentals do not attract additional charges.
The name of the driver must appear on the Rental Agreement and rentals are subject to age, licence and damage liability provisions.
Standard time / distance packages are
- For Passenger Cars, minivan/people movers and 4WD 500 Kilometers per day
- Commercial Vehicles such as Trucks, Utes and Vans 100 Kilometers per day
- Prestige / luxury cars including sports cars 200 Kilometers per day
These packages are simply the basic service provided - you can, of course, travel for a greater time or distance and simply pay additional charges at the rates specified in each region's Rental Terms & Conditions. Standard costs for each rental are calculated based on travelling from the nearest Europcar branch / depot location and back, but the option is available to return to another location within city of rental origin (one way rental) subject to additional charges.
