These are the rules of car-share.

Mandatory inspection

Another problem faced by users – the need for a car inspection before renting. Companies are requested to report all defects and damage. And since it's a rental car, they are exploited mercilessly at times – chips, cracks and dents are inevitable. Why do I need to do the inspection and fix all defects? If you ignore this point, all of the defects found by the next customer will be assigned to you. There are cases when the company had to pay 20-40 thousand rubles for a particular defect. car-sharing companyTo fix all the scratches, it takes a lot of time. In the endreduces the time of reservation. In order to get everything done, you need to get to the car 10 minutes after the reservation. Taxi in this case, according to user reviews, wins significantly.

Accident

If the client gets into an accident his fault, he needs to compensate:

  • The cost of repair of the rented vehicle;
  • Fine;
  • The costs of damage assessment and evacuation of the car.

Normally, the system of penalties is as follows:

  • When the amount of damage in 20 thousand rubles, the client must reimburse 5 thousand of the company;
  • If the number exceeds 100 thousand, then reimbursed 20 percent of the total amount.

Also, the penalty payment does not release the customer from the obligation of compensation. The decision about who is to blame in an accident, only accept the traffic police, who arrived at the scene of the accident. After that, the company evacuates the car to the service station. Then the independent expert will assess the damage. Note that the inspection and invite the client. The latter may appeal the examiner's decision to the court or repairs. A complete list of covered losses listed in the agreement, which the customer agrees upon registration.

However, at this pluses end. In the event of an accident the amount of compensation will be considerable.
