Terms and Conditions

Rental of sports cars between RS Rent-a-Car by Shah Rides GmbH and the renter named in the rental contract. The contract is concluded upon signature by both contracting parties. The right of withdrawal remains reserved exclusively to the lessor.

The vehicle named in the rental contract is free of advertising and has comprehensive insurance. It is registered as a self-drive rental vehicle and cannot be identified as a rental vehicle from the outside.

For security, all vehicles of RS Rent-a-Car by Shah Rides GmbH are equipped with a tracking system including anti-theft protection. The lessor is entitled to check the current condition of the vehicle.

Only the renter named in the rental contract is authorised to use the rental vehicle. For a fee, the lessor may add further additional drivers to the rental contract to extend the authorisation to use. The renters must ensure that the vehicle is in a roadworthy condition when used in road traffic and that theft or unauthorised use by third parties is prevented. In the event of violations, the renters are personally and without limitation liable. Breaches of these rules are subject to a contractual penalty of 200.00 € (net).

The agreed rental period and the time of return must be observed. In the event of a late return, the lessor may provisionally retain the deposit and reduce it in the event of additional costs. If an extension of the rental period is desired, the renter is obliged to inform the lessor one day before the end of the rental period and to confirm the contract extension in writing via the channels provided by RS Rent-a-Car — WhatsApp, e-mail, Instagram or in person.

The renter is responsible for the proper operation of the vehicle during the rental period and has been instructed that they are not permitted to take the vehicle abroad without prior authorisation. Journeys with the vehicle are permitted only within Germany; exceptions for journeys abroad are subject to the lessor’s authorisation. The renter has been informed that the vehicle must be used with particular care in road traffic and that participation in illegal street and racing events is strictly prohibited and excluded from insurance cover. In the event of violations, the lessor will take legal action.

In the event of damage, the renter is obliged to inform the lessor immediately and, in the event of an accident, to notify the local police. The police reference number and evidence of the course of the accident, for example photographs of the accident scene, must be submitted to the lessor without delay. The lessor reserves the right to retain the deposit in the event of damage until final processing.

The acknowledgement of debt also extends to all criminal offences and self-inflicted administrative offences that the renter committed with the rented vehicle during the rental period.

An absolute ban on smoking and carrying animals applies in the vehicle. Violations of this rule are prosecuted and excluded from insurance cover. The renter is obliged to return the vehicle in a clean condition. The renter has also been instructed that the vehicle is returned with a full tank and may only be refuelled with the fuel intended for it. In the event of misfuelling or questions, the renter is obliged to contact the lessor immediately.

If the above rules are not observed, the lessor is entitled to retain the cost of refuelling from the deposit after the vehicle is returned, or to invoice the customer. Fuel costs are charged at a flat rate of 3 € per litre. The cost of professional cleaning in the event of heavy soiling is 250 € (net).

Additional costs are costs incurred by the lessor due to improper return that are not covered by the insurance (loss of profit in the event of late return, increased soiling, excess kilometres, fuel costs, etc.).

On conclusion of the rental contract, the deposit and the agreed rental price including additional services are due immediately. The following payment methods are accepted by the lessor: cash, credit or debit card, bank transfer or PayPal. A copy of the rental contract and the general rental terms is provided to the renter on conclusion of the rental contract. Pre-existing damage and defects to the vehicle are recorded in writing or by image in a protocol before the vehicle is handed over.

The renter’s individual excess is contractually stipulated in the rental contract and is due in the event of a claim. Before signing the contract and during traffic checks throughout the rental period, the renter must prove that they hold a valid ID card (alternatively: a current residence permit with a certificate of registration no older than four weeks) and a valid driving licence.

The lessor offers a pickup and delivery service to its customers for a surcharge. This service can also be booked afterwards via the RS Rent-a-Car channels or by telephone. The prices for this depend on the location and are agreed individually with the renter. In the event that the lessor cannot offer the service, the contractually agreed return arrangements apply without exception.

Should individual provisions of this contract be or become invalid or unenforceable, whether before or after conclusion of the contract, the validity of the remainder of the contract remains unaffected. The renter is advised that personal data is or may be collected within the scope of the rental contract. Both contracting parties are obliged to comply with and observe the current data protection regulation (GDPR).

As the keeper of the vehicle, RS Rent-a-Car by Shah Rides GmbH is entitled and legally obliged to disclose the renter’s personal data upon official request. The renter has been informed of the individual provisions of this rental contract and the general rental terms. The rental contract is concluded by the signature of both contracting parties on the rental contract.
