Flight numbers are important to our staff as this is their only way to track your time of arrival and see if there is any delays.

3. What can I do if the office is closed when I need to collect the car?
It is usually possible to arrange an out of hours pick up with our staff, however there is an additional fee payable locally for this service of 20 euros in cash only.

4. What is an out of hours fee?

5. What happens if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
In the event of a delay, if you have already provided us with your flight details then our staff will be able to track this. In the event of a long delay, we recommend you to contact us to arrange the delivery. In the event of a cancellation, please advise our team as soon as possible, as we will need to cancel the vehicle in our system and the failure to notify us can result in extra charges.

If you have reserved these on your booking then we will confirm these are available as well as checking if the car is available.

19. What is a security deposit and why must I leave one?
A security deposit is the name given to the amount we blocks at the start of the rental to cover ourselves for potential costs with the rental. This normally takes the form of an amount blocked on the credit card supplied and will normally be the excess amount, plus fuel deposit. This deposit ensures that we can cover any damage to the vehicle or cover the cost of refuelling the vehicle in the event our client returns it with less fuel, this is standard practice in car rental. Provided the car is returned in the same condition as rented, the security deposit will be returned in full at the end of the rental.

20. How much is the security deposit likely to be?
Security deposits will vary depending on the tipe of vehicle, and are calculated with many criteria in mind such as the value of the vehicle, petrol and length of rental. You will be advised at the time of booking about the terms in place, and this will also be shown on the rental documentation. In most cases you will be required to leave a deposit equal to the excess amount and to cover the fuel element of the rental.

21. Why do I need to sign an agreement locally when I have booked through Andalucia Car Hire?
Andalucia Car Hire is a car rental company. Bookings made through us are subject to Andalucia Car Hire terms and conditions. These cover your agreement with us and will be provided with your rental documentation. The actual rental of your vehicle is subject to the law of the country in which it is supplied to you and for this reason you will be required to sign a rental contract with the rental company which supplies the vehicle. You should make sure that you fully understand and agree with these terms and conditions before signing the contract locally.

22. What happens if I am involved in an accident?
In the event of any mechanical difficulties or accidents involving your car, it is important that you advise us as soon as possible, (within 24 hours). In the case of an accident the local police should be advised and a police report completed, and the full details of the 3rd party should also be taken. You will need to complete a full accident report form when returning the vehicle to us. It is important that you retain a copy of all documentation for your own records.

Please contact our team info@andaluciacarhire.com who can assist you in locating your booking reference. If you already have your reference, but need a copy of your voucher, they will be able to assist you with this also. Please include at least your full name and arrival date.

25. How many people can the vehicle hold?
This is clearly shown on the vehicle details page on the quote screen, again this will be shown on your voucher. Please note that the insurance will be invalidated if you use the car for more people than instructed.

26. Can I drive my vehicle off road?
Insurance does not cover taking vehicles, including four wheel drives off road or onto untarmacked tracks, so we strongly recommend that you do not do this as it may invalidate your insurance. Please check with the supplier if you are considering this.

27. What are the exceptions to the insurance cover?
In common with most insurance policies there are exceptions to and circumstances which invalidate the insurance. These may include, but are not limited to: damage to windscreens/windows, the underside and roof of the vehicle, tyres and wheels, lost keys, wrong refuelling, when the vehicle is driven off-road or on un-tarmacked road, driving without due care and attention or negligently, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. This is shown on the general terms and conditions at the time of booking.

28. Is it possible to reduce the insurance excess?
Reducing the excess on the insurance is sometimes available by purchasing additional products. These products are usually called SCDW and can reduce the excess down to anything as low as zero in some cases. If this is available it will be displayed clearly in the local supplier terms and conditions.

29. What do I pay for locally?
Andalucia Car Hire always try to get inclusive rates, however there are occasions where there will be fees payable locally, these may include Contract Fee, Government Tax and Licence Fees, these are in only a small number of locations but will again be stated clearly in the terms and conditions. You will also need to pay locally for any additional extras, for example, child seats and GPS. These will be stated on the local suppliers terms and conditions and vary throughout locations.

30. I have not yet received my voucher?
Before anything, please check your junk mail folder. If it is not there, please email us at info@andaluciacarhire.com quoting your reference and we will be happy to help. If you have received your confirmation email but there is no voucher attached, please let us know and we will send it again.

31. How are the car hire days calculated?
Car Hire works on a 24 hour basis, so if you rent from 9am Wednesday to 9am Thursday this is considered 1 day. If you rent from 9am Wednesday to 2pm Thursday you have then passed 24 hours and have therefore entered a second day of rental and will therefore be charged for 2 days rental. Please check your pickup and return times carefully when booking as these can have a big impact on price.

32. Can I to take the vehicle out of the country of rental?
If this option is available it will be in the supplier local terms and conditions. There will be more information on your specific rental available at the time of booking, and also included in your rental documentation. Please note there maybe an additional fee for this and it usually is calculated for the whole duration of the rental and not just the days that you are taking the vehicle to the other country.

33. Do I need both parts of my UK driving license?
Yes - it is important that you provide the paper part of your license as well as the photo card. The company will not be able to supply you with a vehicle without this. In some cases the supplier will accept the photo card only. If you have never been issued a new style driver's license then the old stlye paper license is accepted.

34. What should I do when returning the vehicle?
When returning a vehicle you should always follow the instruction given by the local supplier at the time of rental. Failure to follow these instructions such as parking in the correct parking area may result in additional charges.

35. I need to extend my rental
If you have not yet collected the vehicle, please contact our team by email on info@andaluciacarhire.com. If you have already collected the vehicle, you should do this with the supplier locally, although this maybe charged at a higher local rate. It may be possible for us to arrange this on your behalf and negotiate the same lower rates as you have paid when reserving, this however does depend on the supplier.

36. The rental company did not have a record of me - what should I do?
Please contact our team as soon as possible using our emergency number 0034-607579624 (9am-9pm).

38. I returned my vehicle early - can I have a refund?
Andalucia Car Hire is unfortunately not able to refund any unused days if the vehicle is returned early on any rental. Some of our car rental partners may agree on some compensation but this is not guaranteed and is at their discretion.

39. I have a complaint what shall I do?
If for any reason you are unhappy with any aspects of your rental, you must report your concerns at the time locally to the local supplier.
