In case of technical failure, breakdown, or anomaly reported upon return by a previous renter, the company reserves the right to replace the initially planned vehicle with one of the same category and similar features (including different color for cars) or an equivalent model for mopeds.

The signed quote implies acceptance of these general rental terms. Vehicle confirmation and reservation are effective upon receipt of invoice payment. Payment must be made exclusively via bank transfer.

Article 8 – Reservation Cancellation

8.1 Cancellation by the Rental Company

The rental company reserves the right to cancel a confirmed reservation, without entitling the renter to compensation, provided this clause does not infringe upon the right of withdrawal mentioned below, in the following cases:

    When weather conditions could endanger the safety of individuals or compromise the proper conduct of the service.

    In case of force majeure: Force majeure refers to events beyond the control of the parties, which could not reasonably have been foreseen or prevented, and which make it completely impossible to fulfill obligations.

    If the renter’s driving license is not valid.

    If the number of passengers exceeds that stated on the vehicle registration certificate (i.e., more than 4 people for cars and more than 1 person for mopeds).

    If the renter cannot provide the security deposit under the terms stated in the contract.

    If the renter does not provide the required documents listed in Article 3 (ID, driving license, proof of address, etc.).

    If the renter cannot present the reservation confirmation sent by the rental company.

8.2 Cancellation by the Renter

Under Article L. 221-18 of the French Consumer Code, consumers have a fourteen (14)-day right of withdrawal for contracts concluded remotely, by telephone, or off-premises, without needing to justify their decision or incur costs.
After this period, any cancellation results in the rental company retaining all amounts paid as a reservation.

In case of changes to the reservation (date, duration, etc.), the rental company retains the full amount initially paid. The new reservation will be billed based on the applicable rates for the new period, subject to availability.

In case of early termination of the rental by the renter, regardless of the reason, the total rental cost remains fully due. No refund, credit, or compensation, even partial, can be claimed.

Moreover, moderate weather conditions (rain, cloudiness, drop in temperature, etc.) do not constitute valid reasons for cancellation or rescheduling. Only exceptional weather conditions that jeopardize safety may, at the sole discretion of the rental company, justify cancellation or rescheduling, as outlined in the clause on cancellation by the rental company.

Finally, according to Article L. 221-28 of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal does not apply to services that have been fully executed before the end of the withdrawal period, with the express prior consent of the consumer and express waiver of the right of withdrawal.

If the renter is a professional:
The reservation constitutes a firm and final commitment. Therefore, any modification or cancellation, regardless of the reason, will not entitle the renter to any refund. The rental company retains the full rental amount.

Article 9 – Gift Cards

Gift cards ordered via the website are valid for twelve (12) months from the date of purchase. They are neither exchangeable nor refundable, regardless of the reason.
Any request to postpone the initially scheduled reservation may be considered, subject to availability, provided it is made by email at least thirty (30) days before the scheduled rental date.
