Lending the vehicle to friends or relatives is completely forbidden. You can not lend the rented vehicle by any means.

What is the policy on off-road driving?
The use of the vehicle outside of official roads is not permitted, not even if the vehicle is an all-roader. This, of course, includes the roads that are not paved. In any case, in order to drive off-road, a special permit provided by the rental company is needed. If the customer does not respect this clause of the contract, the personal accident insurance both for the driver and passengers is automatically void.

You should always notify the rental company at least 48 hours before the end of your contract. You can notify it either by phone or personally to any of our offices. Falco Rent then will inform you about current special fees and about what procedures you should follow if you want to extend the agreement.
-
What would happen if I could not deliver the car at the time agreed on?
It is all right if you notify it at least 24 hours in advance to any of our offices. In case of not being able to do so you'll still have a 2-hour frame (after the time your agreement ends) in order to contact us. Once this 2-hour period expires, new rental days are counted according to what is specified in the rental agreement. Please try to avoid this situation so that we can have everything planned in advance and work for a good performance of our service. This sort of situations may be very unpleasant both for us and for our customers.
-
What would happen if I needed to cancel my renting agreement beforehand?
Each case will be studied separately. But you should know that normally there is a penalisation of a three days rental fee. The rest of the amount is refunded to the customer.
-
Who pays for the fuel?
The customer is always the one who pays for the fuel and he or she should deliver the vehicle in the same conditions in which he or she collected it, or according to what had been agreed on. In any case, the company does not refund the money of the fuel that has not been used.
-
Is it possible to install a child safety seat or a luggage rack?
Yes, of course! But please ask for them in advance. They may be very useful for you and their prices are very reasonable.

Give all of this information immediately to one of our offices (maximum in 24 hours after the accident). We are going to help you as much as we can.
