In addition to this fee, the contract holder will also be responsible for paying the daily rental fee (consult the table of fees in section '4) Extras, accessories, charges and coverages’) and the vehicle recovery cost.

The ‘Cross border’ extra is rented for the whole rental period. It is not possible to rent it for single days.

If the "cross-border" extra is not purchased and the vehicle is driven outside of the territory authorised by Record go, Record go will apply a penalty fee of €200 in addition to the corresponding coverage cancellation and consequences stipulated in point 1 "Obligations of the contract holder in relation to the vehicle".

If the contract holder has not taken out Total Comfort coverage but has purchased the "Cross-border' extra, and has a breakdown or accident while abroad, the contract holder will be responsible for all of the expenses generated, including the vehicle repatriation fees to return the vehicle to the nearest Record go rental office.

The additional accessory will be installed by the contract holder. Our coverage demands it to be this way. In case of any incident resulting from an inadequate installation of the accessories, the company will take no responsibility for the damages caused.

The contract holder may purchase this extra to guarantee that the rented vehicle uses diesel.

The drivers reflected in the contract must have possessed a driving licence for at least one year.

After this 48-hour period, the booking amount will not be refunded in the event of cancellation. Likewise, if the client makes a booking less than 48 hours in advance of pick-up, the amount of the booking will not be refunded in the event of cancellation.

If the customer has made the booking through an intermediary, he/she must contact the intermediary to process any modifications.

If you make a reservation with Record go through one of our intermediaries, these intermediaries sometimes offer their own insurance with their own conditions instead of our Total Comfort coverage. If you decide to take out their insurance instead of our coverage, once you arrive at our car rental desk, even though you have taken out insurance with the intermediary, you will have to choose between paying an excess or taking out our Total Comfort Cover.

Also in this case, regardless of the fact that you might have an insurance policy included in your credit card, you will still have to either contract out Total Comfort Cover or pay for an excess fee.

• In addition, only in the event of an accident, the driver must fill in the accident report, submit it to the Record Go office upon returning the rented vehicle and send a copy of the report to the e-mail address asistencias@recordrentacar.com.
