Fuel charges

Should I bring the vehicle back with a full tank of fuel?
Yes. The vehicle will normally be supplied with a full tank of fuel. You must return it to us with the same amount of fuel it had in it when you picked it up - usually a full tank - as shown on the factory-installed fuel gauge. We recommend you fill up as close to the return location as you can on the return date, and keep the receipt to show us. If you don't return the vehicle with a full tank - and you can't show us a receipt for fuel - we will charge you.
Fuel Options
I plan to travel more than 120 kilometres, and want peace of mind, do you have a fuel option for me?
Yes, with Fuel Up Front you pay for a full tank of fuel, based on the manufacturer's stated fuel tank capacity for your vehicle - plus our costs of refuelling the vehicle for you. Then you just return the vehicle with whatever's left in the tank (even if it's virtually empty) so long as the engine still runs.

How do I calculate the cost of Fuel Up Front?
Depending on where you're renting, we charge the average fuel price at the start of your rental period - as stated on this EU fuel index: http://ec.europa.eu/energy/observatory/oil/bulletin_en.htm However, you don't get a refund for any fuel you don't use.
Can I get Fuel up Front at any time?
No, if you want to take advantage of Fuel Up Front, you must ask for it during the booking process or when you pick up the vehicle.
I plan to travel less than 120 kilometres, do I still need to fill up?
Yes, often the fuel gauges stills look "full" so we ask you to fill up the tank near to the return location and show us a copy of the receipt. If you don't have time to fill up the tank, or can't show us a receipt, we will apply EZ Fuel to cover our costs of refuelling the vehicle for you.
How much is EZ Fuel?
Depending on where you're renting, you pay of fixed fee of between 16.94 and 18.00 €.
What are my options if I don't return the vehicle full and haven't bought Fuel up Front?
Pay on Return will apply if you have driven more than 120 kilometres and:
o Don't buy Fuel Up Front
o Don't return the vehicle with a full tank
How do I calculate the cost of Pay on Return?
You pay for fuel based on the factory-installed fuel gauge rounded down to the nearest eighth (1/8) of a tank. This is based on the manufacturer's stated fuel tank capacity.
We charge the average fuel price at the end of the rental period for Spain - as stated on this EU fuel index: http://ec.europa.eu/energy/observatory/oil/bulletin_en.htm. The price per litre will be stated on your rental agreement - plus a processing fee of 27.59 €. This charge covers our cost of driving to the nearest petrol station at short notice, and potentially delaying the next customer's rental.

All prices include taxes if these are applicable.

General station/country information

What if I rent a car in the Canary Islands?
Note : fuel is not included in the price of rental.
You may choose between the two fuel following services:

1. Express Service:
The "Express Service", which is also the option that applies by default if you book online, is a fast and flexible service by which the vehicle will be given with a full tank of fuel, allowing the direct return without the need of refueling or searching service stations close to the drop-off location, neither to perform unnecessary fuel level verifications, both at the time of delivery or at the time of the return. Furthermore the value of the fuel left in the tank will be refunded at the time of its return at our premises.
Note that the price of the "Express Service" will be an extra and independent charge to the fee you paid for the rental of the vehicle. That the extra charge is conformed by:
- The cost of fuel. This cost will vary depending on the tank capacity of the rented vehicle and the average price per liter of fuel in the Canary Islands market, that is, the average of the cheapest and the most expensive prices offered by service stations in the Canary Islands at the time of hiring this service, according the rates published on the website of the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism (http://geoportal.mityc.es/hidrocarburos/eess/).
Fuel costs will, therefore, equivalent to the amount obtained after multiplying the average price per liter of fuel in the Canary Islands at the time of the rental by the number of liters of the fuel tank capacity of the vehicle.
The sum to be refunded upon return of the vehicle is calculated based on the same criteria, it will be the result of multiplying the average price per liter of fuel in the Canary Islands, according the rates published on the website of the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism indicated above, by the eights of a tank stated in the vehicle´s indicator at the time of its return.
- Express Fuel Service fee: 19.00€ including taxes.
This commission will not be subject of reimbursement.
Note that if you choose online booking, the day you collect the vehicle at our facilities, the payment of the fuel and the Express Fuel Service fee will be required.
If you change your mind, you could change the "Express Service" to "Full to Full" at our facilities or by calling our Call Center 902 135 531 at any time before collecting the vehicle. This change is subject to a tariff and condition modification.

2. Full to Full service.
By hiring this service you will be given the vehicle with a full tank of fuel, and must return the vehicle to the rental company at the agreed drop-off location with a full tank. It is also necessary, to follow a "Check-out" procedure in order to verify the fuel tank is full at its return. This process could take in between 15 and 25 minutes.

The cost of fuel will vary depending on the tank capacity of the rented vehicle and the average price per liter of fuel in the Canary Islands market, that is, the average of the cheapest and the most expensive prices offered by service stations in the Canary Islands at the time of hiring this service, according the rates published on the website of the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism.
The customer will need to leave a deposit equivalent to the value of the average price of a liter of fuel in the Canaries as published on the website of the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism (http://geoportal.mityc.es/hidrocarburos/eess/) by the number of liters which houses the fuel tank. This deposit will be reimbursed after returning the vehicle and once verified the correct fulfillment of the conditions of this offer.
If you do not comply with the obligation to return the vehicle with a full tank, the cost of the amount of fuel needed to top up the tank will be deducted from the deposit, plus a €40 penalty, which it is the cost that the lessor incurs in logistical and personnel costs. Where the deposit left is less than the amount owed, you agree that the difference should be charged to the credit card given.

You can arrange the Full to Full Service exclusively at our facilities or by calling our Reservation Center 902 135531 enabled by Lessor, at any time before collecting the vehicle from our Offices.
