The amount of the fee for renting a vehicle is determined at the moment of rental commencement and depends on the price rate applied as well as individual terms and conditions of co-operation, established under separately concluded co-operation contracts, agreements etc., binding the Parties at the moment of concluding the Rental Agreement.

Prior to rental commencement, Enterprise shall pre-authorise on a payment card issued to the Rentee the amount of the anticipated rental cost, non-waivable excess charge, deposit for missing fuel and administrative fee.

Prices and fees are given in EUR converted into PLN according to the average exchange rate announced by the National Bank of Poland on the day preceding the commencement of the rental. In the event of payment with a payment card, Enterprise shall debit the card account in PLN unless the Rentee chooses a different transaction currency for the payment.
