RENTING A CAR WITH OSCAR

Oscar serves as an intermediary between the consumer (renter) and the car owner (partner). For the actual renting process only the partners terms and conditions signed by the renter are legally binding.

This document serves as a summary of the terms and conditions typically used for renting a car through the Oscar platform. This document has no legal relevance.

Pickup

When picking up the car, the partner should immediately inform the renter of any damages or defects that are not apparent in the damage record to avoid unnecessary deduction of excess at the vehicle return.

Return

The return of the rental car must be delivered at the appointed time and must be delivered in the same condition as at the pick-up. When extending the contract, the partner must be contacted. If delivery time is exceeded, the renter is liable for loss due to the time exceeded. In case the renter delivers the car outside of the working hours, i.e. by using a keybox, before the agreed upon return time, the car is the responsibility of the renter until the location is open again.

A. RENTAL CONDITIONS

For off-road use
By people who are affected or impaired by drugs and/or alcohol

4. The partner has taken all precautions to avoid mechanical failure of the vehicle. However, should an error occur, the renter is not responsible nor liable for any consequences thereof.

2.3 In case the cancellation is made by the Partner, the Consumer will be refunded the total amount paid at the time of Reservation.

D. LONG-TERM RENTALS CONDITIONS (CAR SUBSCRIPTION)

An Oscar long-term rental or car subscription is a subscription solution where you, as a customer, can rent a car on a monthly basis. Below, you can read about the terms of a long-term rental, including payment, liability, binding, and termination. The first payment for a long-term rental must fall on the date of the subscription, after which payments will be made monthly.

1. Setting Up a Long-term Rental:
When creating a long-term rental, the customer must approve our subscription terms and business conditions. A car subscription is most easily created by using our online booking form, where the customer can find their desired car, see the car price, review included km, and opt for extra insurance, extra km, and accessories if desired. The customer will then make the first payment, after which the subscription will be created, and a confirmation will be sent by email.

2. Conditions when setting up a long-term rental:
When the customer approves our subscription terms and conditions, the customer approves that the partner may deduct the monthly price for the long-term rental on the entered credit card for the duration of the lease. An invoice is sent upon creation and termination of the long-term rental. Customer service can be contacted at any time if the customer wishes to change the credit card on file.

3. Responsibility and Liability:
When setting up a long-term rental, the customer undertakes responsibility to return the car on the date the long-term rental is terminated and return it in the same condition as when the car was delivered, unless otherwise agreed. In addition, the customer guarantees coverage on the credit card entered so payment is made on time.

4. Termination and Fixation:
The customer determines the length of the subscription period when ordering, specifying an exact date for the end of the long-term rental. The long-term rental is automatically terminated after the end of this period. If the subscription is extended, the customer must contact Oscar customer service before the subscription period ends - after which, this can be agreed. If the subscription is canceled before the agreed time, this can be done with 30 days’ notice.
