TERMS & CONDITIONS

Terms & Conditions

The vehicle may only be driven by the renter and additional drivers who are noted in the rental agreement. Otherwise, all protection will be lost.

1 – Insurance and Deposit authorization

There are 3 insurance options: Basic, Medium & Premium.
The Basic insurance is included in the rate, and contains a renters liability of DKK 10.000,- per damage.
The Medium insurance lowers the renters liability to DKK 3.000,- per damage, and costs DKK 150,- per day.
The Premium insurance lowers the renters liability to DKK 0,- (ZERO) per damage, and costs DKK 250,- per day.

When handed the car keys to the rental car, 62°N Car Rental will impound a deposit authorization on the renters credit card, in addition to the agreed rental rate. If the renter selects the Basic insurance, a deposit of DKK 13.000,- will be withheld on the renters credit card. If the renter selects the Medium insurance, the deposit amount is DKK 6.000,-. If the Premium insurance is selected, the deposit fee is DKK 3.000,-. The insurance must be signed before rental start.

Please note that the deposit authorization secures payment for possible damages, toll roads driven, lack of fuel in vehicle upon return, parking fines and other possible extra fees. If there are no issues regarding payment, the authorized deposit amount will be released. The final payment will be settled up to one week after the car has been returned to 62°N. Certain damages are not covered when purchasing additional insurances. These are listed below in the terms and conditions.
