Rental Terms (Norwegian → English translation)

1. Duration of Rental
The rental agreement applies to the vehicle mentioned on the front page of this contract for the specified period. The vehicle must be returned no later than the agreed time.

Return is considered completed when both the vehicle and keys are received by the rental company within normal business hours. Returns outside opening hours are considered completed on the next business day. The rental company may require the vehicle to be returned earlier for valid reasons.

The rental can be extended by prior agreement with the rental company. The rental company has the right to retrieve the vehicle after the agreed rental period. Costs associated with this are covered by the renter.

Late return or gross violation of rental terms may result in cancellation of any discounts, insurance, or special agreements.

2. Renter’s Responsibility
During the rental period and until the vehicle is returned, the renter is fully responsible for the vehicle and its use.

The renter must pay:

Agreed rental price

Insurance premiums as per the rental agreement

Mileage fees as agreed

Unfilled fuel plus a 20% surcharge (or higher if agreed)

One-way rental fees if applicable

Costs for returning the vehicle to another location than agreed

Tolls, road pricing, parking fees, or other fines incurred during rental

Any damages to the vehicle, including vandalism or theft, up to the agreed deductible

Costs for special cleaning if the vehicle is excessively dirty

Losses due to vehicle being unavailable (per insurance company rates)

In case of negligence, breach of rental terms, or traffic law violations, the renter may pay more than the agreed deductible, or full cost for intentional/grossly negligent damage

Costs of debt collection including legal fees, with interest applied according to law

3. Renter’s Obligations

The renter must maintain the vehicle (oil, coolant, tire pressure, etc.) and contact the rental company if in doubt.

3.3 Use of Vehicle
The renter must use the vehicle responsibly and not:

Drive without proper license/permits

Take the vehicle abroad without written consent

5. Renter’s Rights
If the rental company significantly breaches the contract, the renter may terminate the rental after giving the company a chance to remedy. The renter may claim compensation for losses caused by the breach unless it was due to circumstances beyond the rental company’s control. Technical faults repairable within a reasonable time do not give the renter the right to cancel the rental.

6. Disclaimer
The rental company is not responsible for damages or losses to personal belongings left in the vehicle. The rental company is not responsible for installation of extra equipment such as GPS, child seats, etc. The renter is responsible for correct installation.
