Vehicles must be returned with the same amount of fuel as at the start of the rental. We offer a prepaid fuel option, allowing you to save time and get a better fuel price, as we will refuel the car for you. If you're unable to refuel or chose not to prepay for fuel and are late returning the vehicle, you can return it as is, and we will refill it for an additional service fee.
We have a variety of minivans and minibuses available, including the Mercedes Vito, Renault Trafic, and Peugeot Traveller. These 9-seater vehicles are popular among families and business travelers. To ensure availability, consider booking 1-2 months in advance.
