  • Reversing into stationary objects / reckless driving, underside damage, keys, interior damage or personal belongings.

The first or second additional driver is charged at €4.95 per driver per day. All drivers are bound by the same rental terms.

Out-of-hours collection

On request: €35 each way for collection/return between 21:00–23:00 and €50 each way between 23:00–08:45. Published office hours are 09:00–21:00.

Fuel

Fuel is same-to-same. Return the vehicle with the same level supplied. No refund is made for extra fuel or early return.

Child seats and equipment

Baby and booster seats cost €4.95 per day when booked. Correct installation is the customer’s responsibility. Luggage racks, GPS devices and snow chains are not provided.

Traffic fines

Traffic and parking fines remain the renter’s responsibility and may be charged to the renter’s card.

Cancellation & changes

The booking deposit is refundable when cancellation is made at least two weeks before pick-up, less €15 bank/commission expenses. A booking may be modified up to seven days before arrival.

Car group & model

Reservations are by car group, not a guaranteed model. CBR may provide a higher group at the same price. The customer is responsible for checking that baggage fits and CBR is not responsible for baggage damage.

Availability

CBR may cancel an online reservation within 24 hours after deposit payment if an availability problem occurs, in which case the paid amount is refunded.

Security deposit & cards

Maestro cards are not accepted for the security deposit. The renter must normally be the credit-card holder. For groups A, A1, B, C and C1, a cash deposit may be possible if the renter has no credit card. A €100 cleaning fee may apply for extreme dirtiness, smoking or wet seats.

Pre-authorisation release may take around two weeks for credit cards and four to six weeks for debit cards depending on the card issuer.

Conduct, rates & promotions

CBR may refuse service for inappropriate or disrespectful behaviour and may update rates or terms. Promotional discounts and coupons cannot be combined; only one promotion applies per rental.

This page is a structured version of the published CBR terms. The signed rental agreement and the terms confirmed with your booking remain the final contract.
