Conditions for rental 

AGE
You must be at least 21 years old to rent a car at Bislet Bilutleie. Renters must also have had their driver's license for at least 2 consecutive years. Exceptions may be made for organisations/companies renting cars if their driver is younger than the requirement. This has to be agreed beforehand. Please note that this may result in changes to the conditions pertaining to insurance and own-risk limits. For some vehicle categories the minimum age may even be higher than 21 years.

PAYMENT
Customers who do not have a credit or invoice agreement with us are required to provide a deposit prior to renting a car. We do this by reserving an amount equivalent to the rental amount, with the addition of an amount to cover extra expenses, on the customer's credit card. The reserved amount is never actually withdrawn from the customer's account, but until the rental is completed and paid, the amount will not be accessible. Due to a small delay in our receiving information about automatic toll charges, we normally need 2-3 days to settle your account after the car is returned. When we have debited your card with the correct amount covering rental, toll charges and fuel, the remaining amount reserved will be released. It may take another day or two for your bank or credit card company to release the amount so that it is made available for your use. Please note that we only accept credit cards as payment. Debit cards issued by Visa or Mastercard are also accepted.

CANCELLATION FEE
All reservations are binding. Reservations must be cancelled a minimum of 24 hours prior to the scheduled pick-up time to avoid a cancellation fee.

LIABILITY COVERAGE INSURANCE
Our rental prices include liability coverage insurance. In the event of damage, all rentals will be charged a deductible.

REDUCTION OF DEDUCTIBLE
It is possible to reduce the deductible amount for a small daily fee. Without a pre-agreed/pre-paid deductible reduction, the deductible amounts will be from 30.000 to 50.000 NOK, depending on the vehicle category and size.

In case of collision damage or other damage to the vehicle, BISLET BILUTLEIE or its insurance company reserve the right of recourse from the renter if the renter has demonstrated gross negligence or failed to adhere to the duties of the renter as set out in the rental conditions. Any damage must be reported to the rental company or its representative without delay. In case of grave damage it should also be reported to the police. If the renter fails to abide by these rules, the renter is at risk of being held responsible for the entire cost.

If a technical error can be repaired/corrected within a time frame which is reasonable in relation to the renter’s needs and the duration of the rental agreement, the renter cannot cancel the rental. Should the renter decide to cancel, the renter will be responsible for the rent until the vehicle has been returned to the rental company -  however, with deduction for the time the vehicle was out of order. If the rental agreement is cut short by the renter in such an instance, the renter will be responsible for the costs incurred by the rental company for getting the vehicle returned. If repair of the vehicle cannot be completed within a reasonable time frame, the rental company decides whether to bring a new vehicle to the customer as a replacement in order to continue the rental agreement, or if the rental agreement should be considered cancelled from the time the rental company was informed of the error by the renter. In that case, the rental company will return the vehicle at its own cost, and the rental company will be without responsibility for any loss or responsibility on behalf of the renter.
