User relationship with www.romaniarelocation.eu

S.C Rentix Invest S.R.L., through its website www.romaniarelocation.eu offers local car rental suppliers in Romania. They have been carefully selected so that they have a best price-quality ratio.

At the same time, S.C Rentix Invest S.R.L. assumes the role of partner and consultant so that the user (the lessee) can benefit from the best car rental service available locally. Car rental is based on a contract signed between the user (Lessee) and the local supplier (Lessor). We recommend you to read carefully all the contractual clauses.

The supplier (the lessor) reserves the right not to accept the rent, in case if it is necessary, without the obligation to provide any explanations. The user (the lessee) is obliged to meet all the conditions in the contract. S.C Rentix Invest S.R.L. cannot assume the responsibility for the clauses registered in the contract and agreed between the user (lessee) and the local supplier (lessor).

Age, documents required 

The minimum age of the user (lessee) must be 21 years. He/she should provide the following documents:
– a valid driving license for the rental car category, valid in Romania and issued at least one year before rental date;
– identity card (if it is possibly with a stable address in Romania).

An user with age between 19 and 21 years old, having a valid driving license issued at least one year before the rental date, can rent a car only by paying an additional fee. Young driver (19-21) option is available only for certain car classes/models. The reservation must be confirmed and fully paid with min. 3 days before rental, in order to obtain/issue the required documents. In case the documents cannot be issued in due time, the reservation can be cancelled free of charge.

Rates, deposit/franchise, payment methods 

The provided prices are in EUR/day and include the car rental, maintenance, STANDARD Cover protection plan and VAT. The fuel is not included in the price. The special rates are available on request (e.g. long term rental, cross-board rentals).

Depending on local supplier decision, up to 3 types of SMART offers (BUDGET, STANDARD, PLUS) may be available for each car, with different rates depending on the services and benefits included, payment conditions and booking cancellation terms.

Besides the rental price it will be necessary to pay a deposit/franchise between 100 EUR and 1000 EUR, according to rented car model. The amount of deposit/franchise will be returned back to the user (the lessee) when the car is delivered back in good condition. The payment for car rental services is anticipated, it can be done in EUR or LEI, cash, by bank transfer or with one of the accepted credit card (VISA, MasterCard) directly in the agency or online.

Booking, reservation confirmation, guarantee/deposit, booking cancellation 

The rental car booking can be done online, following the steps indicated. The booking confirmation can be made on request, after the reservation has been processed by an agent and can normally take up to 24 hours, or instant after the automatic verification of the car`s availability in the supplier`s database by the booking system.

The booking messages are the following:

  1. The confirmation of the booking request (pending booking) for your order made on www.romaniarelocation.eu will be received in maximum 24 hours by e-mail from office@rentix.ro.

At the moment of car pick-up, the user should pay the difference of the total rental value. If no prepayment will be made, the reservation might be cancelled. 

The booking cancellation conditions depend on the offer of each local supplier and on the package of services purchased. We recommend you to carefully read the cancellation conditions before completing the reservation process.

In the case of car rental, the supplier will try to offer for rent, as far as possible, the reserved and confirmed car. For objective reasons (e.g. car malfunctions), after confirming the reservation, the supplier reserves the right to change the car with another car having at least the same characteristics (class, endowments) with the one initially chosen.
