  • Making any technical or aesthetic modification, or tampering with the odometer.
  • Using the vehicle for any illegal purpose or contrary to current legislation.

The Customer shall be fully liable for any damage, penalty or loss arising from a breach of these prohibitions, automatically losing the right to any insurance cover taken out.

6. Insurance and excess

The vehicle carries the compulsory third-party liability insurance required by Spanish law. Depending on the quotation contracted, it may include own-damage cover with an excess (the Customer's maximum liability), expressly stated in the agreement according to the vehicle category. The following are in any case excluded from any insurance cover: damage to tyres and rims, damage arising from prohibited use under section 5, loss of or damage to keys and documents, and damage caused by misuse of the interior or upholstery.

6.1 Specific exclusions for motorcycles
In the case of 125 cc motorcycles, the following are also excluded from any insurance cover and are the Customer's sole responsibility:
  • Falls of the rider, with or without collision with another vehicle or obstacle, including those occurring at low speed or during parking manoeuvres.
  • Damage arising from riding without the approved helmet correctly fastened, or without the protective equipment provided by the Company.
  • Carrying a passenger when the rider's licence does not allow it, or exceeding the vehicle's authorised capacity.
  • Damage caused by riding off asphalted or paved surfaces (tracks, trails, beaches, sand, etc.).
  • Breakage or wear of fairings, mirrors, indicators, levers and footrests resulting from falls or impacts attributable to the Customer.
Such damage will be invoiced to the Customer at the actual cost of repair or replacement and charged to the card provided, in accordance with section 11.
7. Accidents

In the event of an accident, breakdown or incident, the Customer must report it immediately to +34 607 722 698, stop the vehicle safely, notify the police where there is damage to third parties or injuries, and complete the European Accident Statement truthfully, delivering it to the Company within a maximum of 24 hours. The Customer must not abandon the vehicle, admit liability or reach financial agreements with third parties without the Company's authorisation.

7.1 Accident for which the Customer is at fault
  • The rental agreement will terminate automatically at the moment the vehicle is immobilised, damaged or withdrawn from circulation, without prior notice being required.
  • No refund, in whole or in part, will be made for unused rental days.
  • The Company assumes no contractual obligation to provide a replacement vehicle; any offer to do so is a mere commercial courtesy subject to fleet availability, and its absence does not give rise to any right to compensation.
  • The Customer shall bear the applicable excess, any damage and items excluded from cover (section 6), and the days the vehicle is off the road for repair, calculated at the current daily rate, as loss of profit.
7.2 Accident for which the Customer is not at fault
  • The Company will endeavour, always subject to actual fleet availability, to provide a replacement vehicle of similar characteristics.
  • If no vehicle is available, the Company is not contractually obliged to provide a replacement, and this does not give rise to any right to compensation; a proportional settlement will be made for the rental days not enjoyed for reasons not attributable to the Customer.
  • The Customer shall cooperate with the Company and/or its insurer in the claim against the liable third party.
8. Tyres, wheels and breakdowns

Damage to tyres (punctures, blowouts, cuts, kerb or pothole impacts) is not included in the insurance cover. The Customer shall pay the actual cost of repair or replacement. Tyre damage does not entitle the Customer to terminate the agreement, obtain a refund, or demand a replacement vehicle.

In the event of a mechanical breakdown not attributable to improper or negligent use by the Customer, the Company is responsible for the repair. If fleet availability allows, a replacement vehicle will be offered; if not, no alternative vehicle is guaranteed, and a proportional settlement will be made for the unused days, in accordance with section 14.

8.1 Misfuelling (incorrect fuel)
The Customer must use only the fuel type specified for the vehicle (indicated on the fuel cap and in the handover documents). Refuelling with a different fuel will be regarded, for all purposes, as negligent use of the vehicle. In such a case:
  • The Customer shall bear in full all costs arising from the misfuelling, including but not limited to: towing and roadside assistance, draining and cleaning the tank, cleaning the fuel system, diagnostics, repairs, replacement of damaged parts, labour, vehicle transport and any other related cost.
  • The Customer shall also bear the loss of profit for the days the vehicle is off the road until fully repaired, calculated at the current daily rental rate.
  • This damage is not covered by the insurance or by any excess-reduction or excess-waiver cover, even if such cover has been contracted.
  • The resulting amounts will be charged to the card provided by the Customer, in accordance with the authorisation in section 11.
9. Cleaning

The vehicle must be returned in a reasonable state of cleanliness. The amounts below correspond to the extraordinary cost of cleaning or repair required to return the vehicle to its normal condition:

Condition on return Charge
Normal dirt from ordinary use No charge
Seats with food or drink remains, stains or excessive beach sand €80
Very dirty vehicle (mud, extreme sand, vomit, significant stains or excessive pet hair) €150
Smoking inside the vehicle €150
10. Other charges

The following amounts correspond to the cost of replacement, repair or handling of each item:

Item Amount
Lost key Between €150 and €350, depending on the type of key
Tyre damage Actual cost of repair or replacement (not included in the cover)
Loss of vehicle documents €50
Strong tobacco smell €150
Upholstery burns Actual cost of repair
11. Deposit and card charge authorisation

Before the vehicle is handed over, the Customer must provide a credit card in their own name for the management of the deposit, the excess and any charge arising from the agreement.

Card charge authorisation: the Lessee expressly authorises Terreros Rent A Car to charge to the card provided any amount arising from traffic fines, tolls, lost keys, damage not detected at the time of return, extraordinary cleaning, outstanding fuel, administrative costs or any breach of the terms of the agreement detected after the vehicle has been returned. Whenever possible, the Customer will be informed in advance of the reason for the charge and, where appropriate, will be provided with the corresponding supporting documentation (photographs, invoices, official notifications or other evidence).
12. Return of the vehicle

The vehicle must be returned at the agreed place, time and condition. A delay without prior notice will be charged at €25/hour. Early return of the vehicle by unilateral decision of the Customer does not give rise to any refund or discount on the amount already contracted, except in the cases of breakdown or incident not attributable to the Customer set out in sections 7.2 and 8.

13. Cancellations
Time of cancellation Penalty
More than 48 hours before the pick-up time No charge (free cancellation)
Between 48 and 24 hours before the pick-up time 50% of the rental amount
Within the last 24 hours before the pick-up time 50% of the rental amount
Customer no-show 100% of the rental amount

For these purposes, "no-show" means the Customer's failure to appear at the agreed pick-up place and time without prior notice to the Company.

14. Replacement vehicle
The provision of a replacement vehicle does not form part of the subject matter of the rental agreement and is in no case guaranteed. Its provision is always subject to the actual availability of the Company's fleet at the time of the incident. The absence of a replacement vehicle does not constitute a breach of contract and does not give rise to any right to compensation, without prejudice to the settlement of unused days that may apply under sections 7.2 and 8.
15. Fines and penalties

All fines, administrative penalties, tolls and charges arising from the use of the vehicle during the rental period are the sole responsibility of the Customer, regardless of the date on which they are notified. The Company will pass on to the Customer the full amount of the penalty, plus €35 per fine as an administrative fee for identifying the driver to the relevant authority.

16. Force majeure

Terreros Rent A Car shall not be liable for delays, interruptions or failures to perform arising from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, such as third-party traffic accidents, road closures or restrictions, adverse weather conditions, fires, floods, strikes, actions of the competent authorities or any other cause of force majeure or unforeseeable event. In such cases, the Company will endeavour to minimise the impact on the Customer and, where appropriate, a proportional settlement will be made for the services not provided, with no additional compensation being payable.

17. Data protection

The personal data provided by the Customer will be processed by the Company in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Spanish Organic Law 3/2018 (LOPDGDD), for the purpose of managing the rental relationship, its invoicing and compliance with applicable legal obligations. Where necessary for the performance of the agreement or due to a legal obligation, data may be disclosed to insurance companies, competent authorities (including traffic authorities and law enforcement) or partner companies providing services to the Company, with the safeguards required by law. The Customer may exercise their rights of access, rectification, erasure and other rights recognised by law by writing to hola@rentacarterreros.com. For more information, see the Privacy Policy.

18. Complaints, governing law and jurisdiction

The Company keeps official complaint forms available to the Customer, in accordance with the consumer regulations of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia. Any complaint may also be sent in writing to hola@rentacarterreros.com.

This agreement is subject to current Spanish law, in particular the Civil Code, the Commercial Code and Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007, insofar as applicable to the relationship between the parties. For the resolution of any dispute, the parties submit to the courts and tribunals with jurisdiction under consumer protection law, without prejudice to the jurisdiction that may correspond to the Customer by reason of their domicile.
