Terms and Conditions

  • 1 Terms and conditions of the rental agreement

    This text defines the “Terms and Conditions” of the rental service, which the hirer (hereinafter “Amrent”) will provide to the Client (hereinafter ”Client”) and which will be governed by a contract entered into and signed upon delivery of the car and subject to Italian law, regardless of the Client’s nationality.
    In case of interpretation differences between the Italian and the English text, the former prevails.
  • 2 Limits to circulation of the rented car

    The Client accepts and acknowledges that the motor vehicle that is the subject-matter of the rental agreement may circulate in Italy only, unless otherwise and expressly agreed by Amrent in writing upon execution of the rental agreement.
  • 3 Booking and Purchasing online

    At the end of the booking process, the Client buys a voucher from Amrent, whose value is expressed in Euro, amounting to the fee indicated in the on-line booking system, according to the kind of car booked and the duration of the rental.
    Amrent will issue the voucher for the booking of the car rental and will send it to the client by email. The Client will hand the voucher to Amrent’s staff upon collection of the car and will thus be entitled to the car rental services.
    The Client shall pay the full amount reported on the voucher at the time of his on-line booking on our Website, by using the PayPall payment system. The corresponding amount shall be charged to the Client’s credit/debit card upon booking. The voucher will be issued only when the full amount is paid. By accepting this agreement, the Client authorizes Amrent to charge the amount of the voucher to his credit/debit card, together with any extra costs according to these Terms and Conditions.
    The voucher that is bought by the Client may be produced when collecting the car and will entitle the Client to rent the car chosen thereby, for the time reported in the voucher, together with all other entries indicated at the time of booking and quantified by Amrent in its estimate.
    Any optional and further services (e.g. additional driver, additional insurance coverage, extra days on top of those booked) may be bought and paid when collecting the car at Amrent’s offices.
    The Client’s booking places an obligation on Amrent to provide the rental services. Failing this, the Client shall be indemnified by Amrent.
  • 4 Changes to booking

    The Client may change his on-line booking up to the date and time of commencement of the rental, subject to the availability of motor vehicles, either on this Website or by calling Amrent’s offices at 055 3454072. The voucher that was originally bought by the Client may be used to pay the changed rental services, without any refund if the amount of the new booking is lower than the value of the original voucher. If the amount of the new booking is higher than the value of the voucher, the Client will be charged the corresponding difference at the time of execution of the rental agreement, calculated according to the fees in force.
    No refund shall be due if the Client changes his booking and this implies a lower amount than that paid for the original booking.
  • 5 Cancelling the booking

    The Client may cancel his on-line booking up to 24 hours prior to collection of the car. If the booking is cancelled, Amrent will charge the Client € 50,00 as indemnity, returning to the Client the amount of the voucher that exceeds the said indemnity.
    No refund shall be due if the Client does not use a part of the booked rental period.
  • 6 Transfer from the Airport of Florence to Amrent’s offices

    The Client’s transfer to Amrent’s offices upon his arrival at the Airport of Florence is free and does not imply any cost to be borne by the Client. The Client will be taken to Amrent’s offices in an Amrent vehicle that is expressly designed for this service.
  • 7 Hirer’s responsibilities.

    These Terms and Conditions do not prejudice the Client’s rights granted by the laws in force on refunds.
    Amrent is liable for all losses suffered by the Client deriving from infringement of these Terms and Conditions, provided such losses were foreseeable in the specific case. The losses are foreseeable when envisaged by the Client and Amrent at the time of booking. The hirer will not be liable for indirect damages ensuing as a further consequence of the main loss or damage and that were not foreseeable either by the Client or by Amrent (e.g. loss of earnings or opportunities).
