Terms and Conditions


YOUR CONTRACT WITH CAR-RENTAL.MA

Please read these booking conditions carefully as, together with the actual Terms of your confirmed car rental provider, they form the basis of your contract with Car-Rental.ma, registered office address at 266 Route de Sidi Abdelkarim, Jnane Colomb II, Safi, Maroc ("Car-Rental.ma" or " we" or " us ").

We arrange car rental for our customers (" you "). with independent car rental suppliers (or "partners"), so when you make a booking with us, either via our website, our reservations department or through your travel agent, you enter into a contract with Car-Rental.ma in relation to the arrangement of your car hire. We arrange car hire as a single component (with certain car insurances and extras provided by the supplier included as part of the total price) and not as part of a package.

When you collect your car, you will also be required to enter into a contract with the individual car rental supplier which contains your responsibilities in relation to the rental vehicle. You should satisfy yourself that you understand and agree to those terms and conditions before you accept your car, as you will be legally bound to the supplier under that contract. *A copy of the standard Rental Agreement used by the supplier in Morocco will be accessible to you on our website before you make your booking.

OUR PRICES

Our car rental prices are correct at the time of publishing on our website. Prices shown are per car, rental period and duration. We reserve the right to alter any of our advertised prices at any time before your contract is confirmed. You will be advised of the current rental price together with the cost of each optional extra that you choose, before your contract is confirmed. (Note that where seasonal rates apply, the rate displayed on our website will be the rate applicable on the date of pick-up, even if the period of hire extends into another season)

The prices displayed on our portal are the real and final prices to be payed to the supplier, including airport surcharges, extras, basic insurences and eventually extra insurences as displayed and checked on your booking request. The prices also include, without all special request items (such as roof racks and child/baby seats), any additional drivers and/or young driver surcharges, and any local charges for delivery and collection out of hours or one way airport fees;

MAKING A BOOKING AND PAYMENT

Bookings may be made online or by calling our Reservations department on +212.537.534.531 or through your travel agent. You may be asked to pay a deposit after your booking is validated by the supplier. 

Your booking is confirmed and a contract between us exists when we issue our confirmation invoice, provided that you have made the booking payment due to us or supplier. Please check your invoice carefully and report any incorrect or incomplete information to us immediately.You must ensure:

  •  That the lead driver name is the same as shown on your driving licence 
  •  That the age is correct at time of vehicle pick up. 


Payments can be made by debit card, credit card, paypal or cash on arrival depending on each supplier. There is no extra-fee added for online payment.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR BOOKING

 Authority 

When you make a booking you guarantee that you have the authority to accept and do accept on behalf of your party the terms of these booking conditions. This means that you are responsible for making all payments due, notifying us if any changes or cancellations are required, and for receiving the confirmation and keeping your party informed.

 Eligibility 

You must advise us of your age and the ages of any additional drivers when making your booking. Minimum and maximum age limits vary according to the terms of the local car rental supplier. Usually drivers must be 21 years or over with at least 12 months minimum driving experience. Please check supplier-specific age limits and surcharges when booking.
Drivers must hold and produce on the collection of their rental car an original full and clean driving licence from their country of residence for at least one year (some car rental companies may require up to 3 years depending on the vehicle type). No photocopies or fax copies are accepted. In some cases an international driving permit may be required. Drivers holding a photocard British driving licence must also present the paper endorsement sheet that was issued with the licence. You must inform our reservations agent of any endorsements on the drivers licence, as we may not be able to take your booking. A car rental supplier may refuse to rent a car to a person with endorsements on their licence or who, in their opinion, is unfit to drive or does not meet eligibility requirements. No refunds will be given for rentals rejected due to non-production of a driving licence or non-disclosed endorsements.

INSURANCE

When you arrange your car rental with Car-Rental.ma, the car rental supplier might include collision damage waiver, third party insurance cover and theft protection insurance cover as part of the car rental price. Note that most car rental suppliers require a deposit to be paid by credit card or cash on collection of your rental car to cover your liability for any excess due on your collision damage waiver. This deposit ("Franchise") si displayed under each car. You may wish to take the additional insurance to partially or totally cover any excess that may be due in the event of damage to or theft of your rental car. This option can be available with some suppliers and is displayed on our website, and included in the total reservation price if you choose it.

Your car rental contract does not include any insurance to cover personal injury or accident to you and we strongly recommend that you purchase additional insurance to cover this, as well as the cost of cancelling your car rental contract and any repatriation that you need. If you are hiring your car as part of a holiday abroad, your travel insurance policy may cover these.

In common with most car rental companies, the insurance cover included in the contract price does not cover damage to or theft of tyres (including punctures), wheels, windscreens, the interior of the vehicle, contents of the car in the event of theft, undercarriage, roof damage (if roof rack is fitted), wing mirrors and coded keys (whether lost or locked in vehicle).
Rental cars are not covered under insurance when driving on unmade roads or taken into another country without prior notification/permission, or if you drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The renter may therefore be liable for the cost of any damage. 
See the suppliers terms and conditions for more precision about insurance.

YOUR RENTAL CAR

All rental cars that we arrange with our suppliers are subject to availability. Cars can be classified in groups by some suppliers based on the specifications of the car. In this case it is displayed on the search results with the mention "or similar" (e.g. "Dacia Logan or similar").  In this case, the supplier may arrange the supply of a different make, model or fuel type to the car shown on your booking, as long as the vehicle has a similar size and specification. If this is not mentionned (or similar), it means that the supplier is engaged to deliver exactly the booked vehicle. 
At the time of collection the renter (lead driver) is required to sign a contract/rental agreement with the local car rental company. Please ensure you have read this contract fully and have checked with the supplier if you are unsure of any details. Once signed, the renter accepts the terms and conditions of the company and Car-Rental.ma have no liability under that agreement. 
The rental vehicle has been booked based on the information given by you or your travel agent at the time of booking. If you decide to upgrade locally you are liable for all upgrade charges. Please ensure that you read all documentation thoroughly before signing. 
Additional items such as baby/child seats, roof racks, ski racks, snow chains, satellite navigation and consoles, as advertised on our website, must be specifically requested at the time of booking. They are also subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed at any time if not included in your online booking. 

AMENDMENTS TO YOUR BOOKING

After our confirmation has been issued, any requests for changes must be sent directly to the supplier in writing by email or by phone. You will receive all supplier coordinates after the booking is validated. However, we cannot guarantee that the supplier will be able to make the changes requested as they will be applicable at the time of change. The supplier can charge amendment fees for some modifications or for cancellation. Please read their Terms & Conditions for more details.
