Transat Holidays strongly recommends the purchase of general car protection coverage offered by your car rental company. Should you decline to purchase protection coverage because you have coverage with another organization, you must know that, in the event of a dispute, your car rental company will deal directly with you because you are the person signing the contract. You will later be responsible for filing any claims with your insurance company. In the case of an accident and/or theft of the vehicle, you are financially responsible for the full value of the car and possibly the loss of revenue to the rental company.
Age restrictions and regulations may vary from one country to another.
When you pick up your vehicle, and before signing and accepting the contract, it is important that you take time to carefully read and understand all the terms indicated in the contract, and/or have them explained to you by a representative of your car rental company.
Expect that a security deposit will be charged to your credit card for the entire duration of your rental contract. To secure rental contracts, rental companies require a credit card in the name of the person who appears on the car voucher.

You must honour the return date/time of your car, as confirmed on your voucher.
When you drop off the vehicle, be sure to ask for a copy of the bill and check all amounts before leaving the rental office. National and international drop-off fees applicable. Please inquire.
The driver must have held a driver’s licence for a minimum of 1 to 3 years issued in the country of residence, depending on the car category. The licence must be produced at time of rental. An international driver’s licence is usually mandatory for many European countries. Please inquire at the consulate or embassy of the country you are visiting.
In the case of damage to the vehicle, a police report must be completed and submitted to the rental company when the car is dropped off.
Please note that all amounts indicated (passengers, suitcases, etc.) refer to maximum capacities. To evaluate the number of children that may comfortably fit in a vehicle, we have used the approximate height of a 12 to 13-year-old (1.5 m).
