1. PURPOSE
Customers receive the rental vehicle described in the rental Agreement in perfect working order, with all its documents, tires, tools and accessories, and undertake to look after them and drive the vehicle in compliance with the Highway Code and the provisions set out in these General Terms and Conditions.
By signing on the front of the Agreement, you acknowledge you have read and agree to all terms and conditions thereof, and agree to comply.
Renting a car is not necessarily linked to a particular vehicle but a group of similar vehicles, as far as technical features and liveability concerns.
Autos Aguirre S.L. reserves the right to cancel the delivery of the vehicle in case of doubts about the financial capacity of the client, outstanding debts or any serious incidents with Autos Aguirre S.L.
At the time of signing the rental contract, the client must pay a deposit as a guarantee to assure the compliance of the terms and conditions of this contract. The amount paid as deposit will be refunded at the end of the contract and after the due checks of the state of the vehicle have been passed successfully and the terms and conditions of this contract have been complied. In order to go through this process, the amount paid as deposit HIPERVINCULO may be retained for a maximum period of 30 days after the contract has finished and the vehicle has been returned. Autos Aguirre is not responsible for the commission that your bank charges when the deposit is refunded.
Autos Aguirre S.L. is not to be held liable for items stolen, forgotten or lost inside the vehicle.

2. RENTAL PERIOD
The term of the Agreement is set out on the front page herein and indicates the date and time on which the vehicle must be returned.
The rental dates are computed in 24-hour periods, counted from the exact time customers rented the vehicle until they return the vehicle, with its keys and documents to Autos Aguirre S.L. The courtesy period for returning the vehicle is 120 minutes. Failure to return the vehicle on the date and time set out in the Contract authorises Autos Aguirre S.L. to charge customers for each hour, day they use the vehicle after it should have been returned.
In the event that the client does not appear at the location and at the time agreed to for the collection of the vehicle, and it has failed to provide forewarning to this end, a 1-hour courtesy period will be given, and once said period has elapsed it will constitute grounds for cancellation

3. EXTENSIONS
If the customer wishes to extend the rental period, he/she must go to the nearest Autos Aguirre S.L. office to sign the extension. No contract may be extended via telephone, nor by any other means of electronic communication.
The deposit given as surety may not be used to extend the rental period under any circumstance. In the event that the Agreement cannot be extended because no vehicles are available or for any other reason, customers must return the vehicle on the agreed date and time to the agreed Autos Aguirre S.L. office.

4. VEHICLE RETURN CONDITIONS
Customers must return the hired vehicle in its pre-rental condition, together with all its documents, tyres, tools and accessories, at the place and on the date and time set out in the rental Agreement.
Customers must not change the vehicle's technical specifications, keys, equipment, tools and/or accessories, or make changes to its external or interior appearance. Otherwise, customers must pay for the expense of returning the vehicle to its pre-rental condition, without detriment to Autos Aguirre’s loss-of-income during the period the vehicle is not available for rent because it is being valeted, and for any other damages sustained by Autos Aguirre.
If Autos Aguirre S.L. delivers the vehicle 120 minutes after the rental agreement is signed, the customer will be compensated with a rental day.

Returning or abandoning the vehicle in a place other than the one indicated in the Agreement, will entitle Autos Aguirre to require customers to pay:
i) Rent for each extra day needed to retrieve the vehicle and return it to its pre-rental condition so it can be hired again;
ii) €40 as compensation for loss-of-income, and
iii) plus the cost of moving or towing the vehicle, tolls, and safekeeping and guarding, as the case may be, to the place convened in the Agreement for returning the vehicle.
In the event that the vehicle disappears or is not returned, Autos Aguirre reserves the right to bring legal action against the customers before the competent authorities with the full weight and consequences of the law.
A unilateral extension of the Agreement by customers will be considered illicit use of the vehicle, in which case the customers will be held liable for any damage to the vehicle.
