FAQ

General information

  • One-way rental cars for 1 euro - how is that possible?

    The Movacar offers are so-called transfer trips of renowned car rental providers. Background: Car rental companies constantly have to optimally align their fleet with the car rental stations and move the cars from A to B. As a rule, paid driving services are commissioned for the transfer journeys, which is very time-consuming and expensive. With Movacar, you take on a one-way trip with the rental car from A to B and receive your rental car almost for free - for a simple euro!

Return

  • Can I return the rental car to the drop-off station outside opening hours?

    Experience has shown that it is always safer to hand over a rental car to a member of staff within opening hours, as you as the customer are usually responsible for the condition of the vehicle until a member of staff from the car rental company has checked it in.

    Most car rental companies have key safes at their stations for out-of-hours drop-off. If your planned drop-off date is outside opening hours, we recommend that you call the rental company beforehand to check whether this is possible. You will find the telephone numbers of the drop-off stations in your booking confirmation.

    Please note: Some providers do not have stations. With these, pick-up and drop-off is usually done by a phone call within certain times or via the provider's app.

  • What happens if I do not return the rental car to the agreed destination on time?

    We can only offer the one-way rental for 1€ because it is advantageous for all parties. If the rental car is not returned to the agreed destination on time, the car rental company will incur additional costs, which is why a deposit is reserved on your credit card by the provider when you rent the car. If everything goes as agreed, the deposit is usually released by the rental company a few days after the car has been delivered.

    If there are any delays in the drop-off, we recommend that you inform the provider in a timely manner. You will find the contact numbers in your booking confirmation.
