Wrong Fuel:
Should you or someone else put the wrong fuel in the hire vehicle, all fees relating to this will be charged for plus (if needed) a replacement vehicle.
There is now a large proportion of diesel vehicles on the car rental fleet. This has led to much confusion causing people to accidentally put the wrong type of fuel into their vehicle. Be careful when refuelling. The nozzles are usually color coded to indicate which grade of fuel they dispense, however the color coding differs between countries. For example, a black handle in Ireland indicates that the fuel dispensed is diesel. North American customer need to be particularly vigilant. If you realise you have put the wrong fuel in the car, do not turn on the ignition or start the car. Seek help and contact your car rental company.

We require that the hirer return the vehicle in a clean condition (normal wear and tear excepted) such that only normal valetting would be required.

We strongly recommend that you park the vehicle in supervised car parks/garages in the major cities and never leave any personal items on view inside the vehicle as damage resulting from the theft of these will be charged for.
