Rental and booking terms

The country conditions below are reproduced from the rental partner’s Seychelles terms, checked on 12 September 2026. The conditions displayed for your selected car also form part of the booking decision.

Country rental conditions

  1. The minimum chargeable rental period is 24 hours. It means that if you rent a car for a few hours, you will be charged for a full day. For example, if you need a car from Monday morning to Tuesday afternoon, you will be charged for two full days.
  2. If you want to extend your rental period, you must inform the rental agent in advance.
  3. You must return your rental car with the same level of fuel you picked it up with. If the level of fuel is lower, you pay the difference at the rates of car rental company. If the level of fuel is higher, you are not compensated for the difference.
  4. If the car is returned so dirty that it hinders its inspection, the car will be washed at the customer's expense.
  5. Standard insurance does not cover damages to wheels, undercarriage, windscreen, and interior of the car.
  6. In case of an insured event, you must immediately notify the rental agent and receive a police report, except as otherwise agreed with the agent. Failure to fulfil these conditions will cancel the insurance issued for the car and make you fully responsible.
  7. The insurance is invalid in the event of deliberate damage to the car caused by intentional vandalism or neglect.
  8. Rental cars are allowed to travel only on paved public roads.
  9. Travelling outside the home island is prohibited.
  10. The contact phone number with the correct country code provided at the time of booking must be available throughout the car rental period and on the day before pick-up. We do not accept any service quality claims, if it was impossible to contact the renter by mobile phone or messengers (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram).
  11. The payment for fuel, parking, fines, and toll roads is the responsibility of the renter.
  12. The driver’s minimum age and driving experience are listed on each car’s page. These requirements may vary even for similar models. The rental agent has the right to refuse to provide the service at any time if the driver’s age and/or driving experience does not meet the requirements for a particular car. Please use the filters to find cars that match your criteria.
  13. To rent a car, you must have a valid national driver’s license with details duplicated in Latin script. The expiry date on the license must be no earlier than the end date of the rental period. Copies or electronic licenses are not accepted. If your driver’s license is only valid in the country of issuance, we strongly recommend including an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your documents and providing it upon request.
  14. Renting a car may require a mandatory physical embossed credit card in the name of the main driver. If a credit card is required, ensure that you have it with you when picking up the car. In some cases, rental companies may accept debit cards, which will also be specified during booking and in your voucher. The debit card must also be a physical, personalized card with embossed details and issued in the name of the main driver. Ensure that you have the card with you when picking up the car.
  15. Only small pets may travel in rented cars and should be kept in their travel carriers at all times.

Separate online booking rules

The advance paid during booking is 15 to 20 percent of the total rental cost. The remaining rental amount is paid to the rental agent at pickup. This is separate from a security deposit.

The ordinary cancellation deadline is seven days before the start, or thirty days for luxury cars and convertibles. A booking with the “Free cancellation” option has a twenty-four-hour deadline. The booking rules retain a payment service fee of six percent of the amount paid. Later cancellation or modification results in the advance being retained.

Eligible refunds of the advance are returned within fourteen days of receiving the refund request, to the original payment account unless otherwise agreed. The rules also provide a separate cancellation provision during the first twenty-four hours after confirmation and payment, with notice required before pickup.

Modification means cancelling the existing reservation and creating a new one under the general terms. The original car becomes available to other customers when cancelled. Failure to arrive at the booked time and place without prior coordination is treated as late cancellation.

Questions about the car’s condition and the rental service belong with the rental company, whose contact details are sent after booking. If the company cannot provide the booked vehicle because of breakdown or force majeure, the booking rules require a vehicle of the same or higher class on the same terms and price.

The complete provider rental and booking terms govern the reservation. Our payment explanation separates the advance, balance and card requirements.
