Parking

The vehicle must be returned to the zone from where it was collected. In the unlikely event you cannot park the car in its designated zone, you must let us know immediately. This will ensure we can get the vehicle moved at a later date and advise anyone reserving the car after you where the car is. If the car is left illegally parked, failure to contact us inevitably will lead to a parking ticket, wheel clamp or being towed away. If you have not contacted us to let us know of the problem, all costs will be passed on to you with a €25 administration charge. Costs can be extremely high so please do ensure you let us know immediately.

• Leave the car excessively dirty for the next member, or dirty on the inside including litter in the car.
