| If you cancel more than 30 days before your pick-up date,
your US$300 deposit will be immediately refunded to your card.
This US$300 amount is likely the only payment that will have made
by that point,
for the remaining amount isn't charged to your card until
30 days prior to the pick-up date.
If you cancel within 30 days of your pick-up date,
your entire payment minus the US$300 deposit will be refunded to your card.
Naturally a person is not allowed to cancel one of these leases and rebook (even if in a family member's name) to take
advantage of a price drop. Such policy is the industry standard and is analogous to the ticketing policy of the airline industry.
When a person books such a lease they lock in to that price, but this policy usually favors them because prices of course tend to
rise rather than fall.
(The rates per se are not dependent on location and not dependent on season. Rather, the rates are set by the manufacturer
near the beginning of the year and typically stay the same throughout that year. However, the rates effective for the market
in your country of permanent residence are set relative to that market and to the value of the Euro versus the currency of your market.
Hence the rates may change considerably from year to year and occasionally within a year.
Again, such rate changes are not retroactive to bookings already made.)
A first or second change (or first or second set of changes) made to a booking
before the pick-up date entails no change fee.
Further such changes entail a US$50 change fee per set thereof.
Typically, however, it is not possible to make such changes
within 30 days of the pick-up date.
Alternatively you can make changes to your return location and/or
date after you've picked up the vehicle and without suffering a change fee.
If a different return charge applies to the new location, you will be
charged or credited the difference. You are responsible for
making such post-pick-up changes.
To do so, contact the office of the relevant return location (listed in your
copy of the "Traveling Instructions" booklet)
at least 48–72 hours ahead of
the actual return date.
Lease-days beyond the first 30 are refundable. Which is to say,
if the duration of your lease exceeds 30 days and if you return your
vehicle on a date earlier than the return date on your contract, you
qualify for a refund of all the unused lease-days beyond the first 30. However,
you must request such refund following your return of the
vehicle. To do so, fax to USA 503 296 2625 a cover letter and a copy of
the receipt-of-return. Renault will then credit the refund amount to
IdeaMerge, and IdeaMerge will proceed to mail your refund check to you within
about one month. Granted, the process is rather roundabout, but we promise
you it works.
Contract extensions can be made from the road provided 8 days of
notice and payment by the final day of the original contract, but
the resulting duration of the amended lease cannot exceed the
applicable
maximum, and days added as such are not refundable.
To extend, call Paris at the relevant number listed in the Traveling
Instructions booklet provided in the vehicle.
You will need to provide the registration number of
the vehicle, your Renault Eurodrive contract number, and your credit
card details. Renault Paris will fax (or mail) the new insurance certificate
to you at the number (or address) you indicate.
Note that the additional-day cost of the extension will be
considerably higher than the original such cost, as follows:
specific vehicle
One of the prime benefits of a French tax-free short-term auto lease in contrast to an auto rental is the precision such lease arrangement affords to you
in procuring a vehicle. Which is to say, such lease contract stipulates a particular vehicle
in terms of make, model and certain features (as presented on this Website) and effectively ensures that said particular vehicle
will indeed be delivered to you unless the naturally ineluctable force of circumstances causes
such vehicle to be actually unavailable for delivery to you on your contracted pick-up date, in which
case another new vehicle reasonably considered equivalent (but not identical) to the stipulated vehicle will instead be delivered to
you for your use until the contracted drop-off date. The very close temporal connection between the manufacture and delivery of these
lease vehicles is what makes the aforementioned, remarkable precision of selection possible, but it likewise makes the delivery of such vehicles sensitive
to circumstances such as labor strikes, vehicle recalls and natural disasters, i.e. to the veritable force of circumstances.
Truly rare are the circumstances which make said replacement necessary, but they are a natural element of the industry.
buying outright
You can, if you like, buy the vehicle outright at the end of the lease. Click here for details about this option.
