If the Lessee does not contract the “Full Deposit -> Empty /Full -> Empty Tank” solution or the “Full Deposit -> Flex / Full -> Flex Tank” solution the Lessee is facing with solution no. 2 “Full Deposit -> Full / Full -> Full Tank”, in which he is responsible for always returning the vehicle with the same fuel level it had when delivering the vehicle object of the Rental Contract. As a rule, all vehicles are rented with the full tank. In solution no. 2, the Lessee is required to provide a fuel deposit, in cash or credit card, through the contracted car group, and, at the time of returning the vehicle to the Lessor, he is obligated to deliver a proof of refueling the fuel from a service station within a maximum radius of 10 kilometers from the place of return with the respective registration number. When the vehicle is returned with lower fuel level that it had on delivery, it will be charged to the Lessee the importance of the missing fuel plus any expenses / costs. The Lessor may require the payment of a fee / supplement to the Lessee by the vehicle´s refueling up to a maximum value of €30.00 (thirty euros).

9.3. If the Lessee does not contract the solutions “Full Deposit -> Empty /Full -> Empty Tank” and “Full Deposit -> Full / Full -> Full Tank” there´s still solution no. 3 – “Full Deposit -> Flex / Full -> Flex Tank” in which the Lessee receives the vehicle with the fuel deposit full and when returning it will not have the responsibility to refueling the fuel tank. You can return the vehicle with the fuel level that has at the time of return and the Lessor will be responsible for the refueling of the same, debiting the Lessee´s Credit Card with the amount corresponding to the refueling plus the respective fee/supplement of the service with a maximum value of €15.00 (taxes included). This solution implies that the Lessee provides the Credit Card data for the subsequent debit of the fuel refueling and the refueling service fee/supplement in the maximum amount of €15.00 (taxes included) by the Lessor.
