Pick
Up and Drop Off:
If you have requested
an airport transfer for pick-up, you will be collected from the arrival
hall and taken to the depot for pick up - vehicle hand over does not
take place at the Airport. Vehicle return also takes place at the rental
station. If you have booked an airport transfer for drop-off, you will
be driven to the airport after the rental vehicle has been cleared.
Airport transfers are confirmed 30-60 minutes after arrival time and drop-off
time is confirmed minimum 3 hours before departure time.
- If you order a hotel transfer for pick-up, we will drive them to our rental
station, where pick-up procedures will be performed by our staff. Similarly,
if they book a hotel transfer for drop-off, they have to bring the vehicle
back to our rental station first. After their rental vehicle has been cleared,
they will receive a transfer to their hotel.
- We do not have offices in Kuopio, Ivalo, Bergen or in Trondheim. A staff
member will meet you at the airport in these locations to collect the rental
vehicle.
Insurance
Coverage:
The insurance system
is divided into 2 categories in Scandinavia. First category is compulsory
insurance, which
covers damages to other party in a case of an accident caused by negligent
party. Second category is collision insurance, which covers damages to the
vehicle of negligent party.
The collision insurance covers damages to rented vehicle in a case of an accident,
fire or theft. The insurance is not valid if the vehicle is being used under
influence of alcohol or illegal drugs. Also, insurance is not valid if the
damages are caused because of careless behavior by the renter or his party.
All exterior damages, regardless if they have been caused in a third party
accident or not, are subject to deductible. For an example, windscreen is subject
to deductible rules if a stone brakes it. Interior damages are not part of
collision insurance, so full retail value will be charged for each damaged
part.
Touring Cars offers both insurances free of charge to all renters. TC Basic
insurance package’s collision insurance has an excess / deductible of €2400
per incident, which means that the renter is responsible for paying up to €2400
if he or she causes a damage or an accident to the vehicle. The collision insurance
will pay the excess of €2400. It is very important to notice that the
deductible is per damage or accident and not per rental period.
The Excess / Deductible cannot be reduced, when a client travels to Russia
or to Baltic states. The Excess / Deductible in the case of theft is minimum
20% of the vehicle’s value. Touring Cars also offers two different extensive
insurance coverage options to clients, who rent a camper for a minimum period
of one week. Clients can choose to buy more extensive collision coverage and
to reduce the deductible amount to €1200 by paying €9 per rental
day. They can also purchase TC Premium Insurance, which lowers the deductible
to €600. In addition, there is no deductible for one tyre damage or one
windscreen damage if a client purchases TC Premium insurance. This package
costs €14 per rental day. Minimum period is 7 days or a payment of equivalent
amount. These deductible rules are valid for traffic accident damages ONLY.
All insurance packages include Touring Care 24-hour Roadside assistance!.
Security
Deposit:
Deposit, amount will be
unstated, is required upon departure to ensure that the vehicle is returned
in the same condition as it was upon pick-up.
Deposit is made with a credit card imprint, which will be taken at pick-up.
We will authorize one full deductible from client’s card at pick-up,
so client’s credit limit should be sufficient to cover the deductible
and other purchases that they plan to do during their holiday. Authorization
will be cancelled if no new damages will be discovered at drop-off.
All drivers are required to present a credit card on pick up.
Travel
Restrictions:
As a rule, you are permitted
to travel throughout Europe. However, special insurance coverage is required
for Russia,
Poland, Belarus, and the Baltic States. You can travel to these countries with
our campers, but you have to follow the special
insurance requirements. If you plan to travel outside of Scandinavia, please
advise us at the time of booking.
- Driving to these
countries is permitted with a notation on the Rental Agreement from
the Touring Cars counter to present at customs.
- We obtain a
green card, insurance document, if you wish to enter to these countries,
but additional traffic insurance might be required. If so, it will
be sold at customs.
- You are required
to stay inside the rental vehicle between 20:00 (08:00 PM) and 06:00
(AM). Otherwise, theft insurance is not valid. If you are not using
the vehicle, you should organize secured and / or locked parking
area for it.
- Deductible
for theft case is 20% of retail value of the rental vehicle or
lost items.
Minimum amount is €600.

Children
travelling in Motorhomes
LEGAL
NOTICE AFFECTING LARGE AND XLARGE CATEGORIES
Legal notice concerning
European Union Law
11.3.2008
Renewed road traffic
and vehicle regulations on children travelling in motorhomes and on
temporarily exceeding number of passengers marked on the registration
certificate.
1. Temporary excess of passenger count that is marked
on registration
certificate.
Together with the amendment of road traffic act mentioned above, also the regulation
on vehicle usage on roads was amended (1257/92, 6th chapter section 38). After
the amendment, unambiguously the number of seated and standing passengers in
a vehicle must not exceed the maximum passenger count marked on the registration
certificate. Drivers and passengers must use designated seating and standing
places that fulfill the requirements stated in the act.
This law is affecting our Large and XLarge categories.
Starting immediately, only 5 passengers can simultaneously travel in
these categories even though there are more beds in these vehicle types.
2. Children travelling in a motorhome
According to the road traffic act (267/81) the sections 88 and 88a state that
using a safety belt is compulsory in automobiles, vans, lorries and busses
and also in three wheel vehicles and quadricycles. The amendment covers the
usage of vehicle´s safety belts already installed and does not expand
the installation obligation.
This act covers also camping cars (motorhomes) that are usually registered
as passenger cars. A child whose height is less than 135 cm has to be in a
type approved safety device when travelling if the vehicle has safety belts
or a child´s safety device is other vice installable. However, the act
does not require to post installation for those vehicles that are accepted
to be used without seat belts. If a child´s safety device cannot be installed
- meaning that the vehicle does not have seat belts - children aged 3 and over
have to be travelling somewhere else than the front seat. However, children
under 3 years have to be travelling always in a baby seat, meaning that if
a baby seat cannot be installed in to the vehicle, children under 3 years cannot
travel in the vehicle.
All children whose height is under 135 cm must
be seated in a child seat or a booster seat when travelling in our
motorhomes.
