The Ibiza office of Record go does not offer this service.
Record Go does not offer one-way rentals. The contract holder must return the rented vehicle to the same office as the pickup. If the contract holder returns the rented vehicle to a office that is different to the pickup, Record Go will apply a penalty fee of 200 €. 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.
Record go does not permit cross-border rentals. By exception, Record go can authorise driving in Portugal, Gibraltar and Andorra if the contract holder purchases at the rental desk the 'Cross border' extra.

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.
The minimum age required to rent a vehicle with Record Go is 21 years old.
If the customer has made the booking directly through Record Go and the type of service fee permits cancellations, Record Go allows you to cancel the booking and receive a complete refund of the amount paid up to 48 hours before the start of the rental period. 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.
You will also be able to cancel your booking from our website. If you are a registered user, access your 'My account' section in the top menu. Otherwise, access your 'My reservations' section, also in the top menu.
When a customer makes a booking with Record Go, he/she reserves a vehicle group that includes different models. It is not possible to reserve a specific model and, therefore, the customer is not able to choose which specific model they receive.
Notwithstanding, there are two exceptions to this:
If you contract our fuel rate "Just Go", among other benefits, you will be able to choose the model/make within the category booked that is available at the moment you pick up the vehicle.
In our vehicle list display, there are a few categories marked as "Guaranteed model". In these cases, as long as the vehicle is available at the moment of the booking, you are guaranteed the model.
