What you need to pay attention to when receiving a car

Before picking up, you are required to carefully inspect the car and point out to the rental company manager for scratches, damage and defects, such as dirty seat upholstery.

The rental agreement must include a telephone number to contact the rental company.

A call to the rental company should be done first, even before the arrival of the police.
