Kimberley Car Hire Surcharges Uncovered
You aren't the only one if you are browsing numerous car hire websites to find the best price on your car in Kimberley. Hold on ... there are a range of industry fees and surcharges which could not be included in every quoted price. Quite a few low-cost car hire deals aren't what they appear to be. Certain unscrupulous car hire businesses do not disclose standard charges to hide the actual cost of reserving a vehicle. Auto Europe does not believe in hiding fees in the fine print to dupe potential clients. When you hire your Kimberley car with us you can be sure that the displayed inclusive rate is what you'll be responsible for. If you arrange a car hire at a price that's unbelievably below market somewhere else, you will just owe the balance at the car hire office when you arrive in Kimberley.
Auto Europe makes every effort to show an inclusive, transparent rate to our valued clients. Savvy travelers prefer easy-to-understand, transparent pricing and will not be fooled by unsavory pricing policies. To assist as you try to clarify the add-on charges, fees and local taxes commonly mandatory for different car hire situations, we have written this abbreviated guide. The common types of car hire industry add-on costs discussed below are a terrific starting point to ensure that you're current on industry lingo when arranging a car hire in Kimberley.
Value Added Tax Associated with Car Hire in Kimberley
| $$ | Always Disclosed by Auto Europe | Sometimes Disclosed by Others |
Commonly called the VAT tax or Value Added Tax on your car hire contract, the cost of this tax can be 15-30% and it is standard European sales tax which varies slightly depending upon the city you are booking in. When you are analyzing your contract or quote, look for Including VAT, or Taxes Extra or Plus VAT to get a clear sense of whether this charge is included in your online car hire price in Kimberley or if this is something you should expect to pay locally.
Add-On Car Hire Fees for Vehicle Equipment in Kimberley
| $$ | Always Disclosed by Auto Europe | Always Disclosed by Others |
Typically referred to as an Administration Fee or a Processing Fee, this moderate additional charge which is usually in the range of €30 - €50 are charges for additional equipment like GPS units, child seats, snow chains, ski racks, portable WiFi devices in your vehicle, etc. The exact extras will depend upon your unique vehicle, and will usually be charged at the counter when you pick-up your vehicle. Unless your online quote states they are included, you can expect to pay for any extra equipment when you pick up your vehicle.
International Driving Costs for Kimberley Car Hire
| $$$ | Always Disclosed by Auto Europe | Sometimes Disclosed by Others |
For about €20 - €50 in most locations you can drive your vehicle across international borders. This international travel fee (often referenced as a Cross Border Fee on your car hire contract) covers the permitting and tax cost of making sure your car hire has all of the appropriate stickers to drive across borders (and come back). International one-way charges (where you pick up your car hire in Kimberley and drop it off in a neighboring nation) will be significantly more, so if your itinerary allows you to return to Kimberley to drop off your car hire you can save a significant amount of money.
Auto Hire Fuel Policy Charges and Fees
| $$ | Always Disclosed by Auto Europe | Sometimes Disclosed by Others |
Most car hire agreements in Kimberley require you to fill your vehicle with fuel prior to dropping it off at the agency when your trip is over. These Full to Full policies can result in a fee, charged after the fact, if you do not fill your vehicle up with gas or diesel fuel prior to dropping it off at the end of your trip. Pay close attention to your car hire contract, as you can generally save a little money by filling your tank yourself instead of relying on the local agency to do it for you.
Driver Charges and Fees for Driving a Car Hire in Kimberley
| $$$ | Always Disclosed by Auto Europe | Rarely Disclosed by Others |
It may seem ridiculous to be charged a "driver fee" for a vehicle that you hire specifically to drive, but driver fees (often referenced as an Additional Driver Fee, Young Driver Surcharge, or Senior Driver Fee) apply an extra daily fee to the total cost of your car hire based on who will be driving the car. Many car hire companies charge a fee for drivers under the age of 25 or over the age of 65, and you can expect to pay extra if you plan to have more than one person driving your car hire in Kimberley during your trip. These fees can be €5 all the way to €20 per day, depending upon the unique circumstances of your car hire.
