Out of Hours Pick-up and Drop-off

Principles

Vehicle Group/Model

Auto Home vehicles are grouped using ACRISS codes. The group is indicated in the upper right corner of the vehicle image and the description in the upper left.

Unless otherwise stated, reservations are confirmed for a group and not a specific model. Auto Home cannot guarantee a particular make/model or fuel type unless a guaranteed model group is reserved. The tool shown in any document is for guidance only and may be replaced, at our discretion, by an alternative, similar, or upper-class vehicle.

Model groups defined as "or similar" are not guaranteed. Model groups defined as "Brand/model guaranteed" are guaranteed model groups.

Vehicle Status

Vehicles must be returned to the location/delivery point in the same condition as when they were picked up/delivered.

While the lessee is responsible for the vehicle, he/she assumes the responsibility of maintaining the road durability of the vehicle and agrees to take corrective action to avoid unnecessary cost/damage. This will include maintaining oil levels, tire pressures and other common-sense actions to maintain the vehicle. Costs will generally only be covered if pre-authorized from the rental branch.

If the vehicle is extremely dirty on return, or if there is damage to the seats, upholstery or carpets, an additional fee will be charged for a deep cleaning.

Auto Home's determinations regarding the general condition of the vehicle in the parking lot, branch or the location where it was left will be valid without signing the mutual delivery report. The tenant is obliged to deliver the vehicle in good condition and in working condition as received.

Accidents

In the event of an accident, the tenant is obliged to deliver the reports and documents requested from him completely and accurately to Auto Home. Missing documents or incorrectly arranged documents will be invalid and insurance will not be used. In such a case, the responsibility will remain with the Tenant.

Fuel Policy

 

Auto Home enforces a fair Fuel Policy; Tenants are requested to return the vehicle at the same fuel level as the fuel level given at the time of collection.

For missing fuel, a surcharge of 25% (Refueling Fee) will be charged per liter (daily rate).

Mileage Policy

Daily 400 km for 1 - 4 days, mileage limit specified in the table below for more than 5 days, and in case of exceeding the kilometers specified in the table below per rental, the mileage exceeding fees specified in the table will be applied.

Smoking Policy

Smoking is strictly prohibited in Auto Home vehicles. If you have smoked or allowed smoking in the vehicle, you will be charged for this. This fee includes allowing cigarette (or cigar) smoke or ash to enter the vehicle; Although a minimum fee of 750 TRY will be applied, the penalty fee will be increased if this situation causes a greater damage.

Detailed Cleaning of the Vehicle

No animals should be transported in our vehicle unless they are in the cage. A clean-up fee may apply to remove any contamination from animal transport. A minimum fee of 750 TRY will be applied, but if this situation causes greater damage to the vehicle and/or the cleaning fee becomes a higher amount, the penalty fee to be applied will be increased.

If the vehicle is returned in a dirty condition (inside or outside) and requires more than our standard cleaning, a cleaning fee of TRY 1000 will be applied. Hazardous or excessive soiling requiring cleaning by a specialist will be charged according to the qualification of the specialist required and the cost incurred.

Reservation Policy

Reservations will be kept for 2.5 hours from the specified reservation time and then the reservation will be classified as unused. The vehicle is not guaranteed if the tenant arrives after this time or if the rental station closes in the meantime. Auto Home will do everything possible to provide a vehicle. This may include offering a different vehicle and prices may differ from the original booking. In case of no-show, the reservation is non-refundable.

The flight numbers given are for informational purposes only. It is the Tenant's responsibility to notify the location of any delays.

Lost Key

Fees will be charged if keys are lost or damaged. In case the rented vehicle is stolen and/or the keys are not returned to the rental place, the Tenant will be deemed to be at fault. Lost keys are considered negligence and are not covered by insurance coverage or mitigation packages. The tenant will be responsible for the salvage fee, loss of earnings and all costs associated with the repair. This responsibility is not limited to those listed.

Extension of the Rental Period

It may not always be possible for the leasing branch to extend the lease period upon request. When the branch agrees to the extension, the rent will be charged at any rate that may be higher or lower than the original reservation price.

Unauthorized Rental Extension

If the tenant does not return the vehicle within the specified time, a daily penalty of 1500 TRY will be applied for each day of delay and the tenant will be blacklisted (future reservations will be rejected by Auto Home).

Early Return/Unused Rental Days

If the vehicle is returned before the specified delivery date, the previously collected vehicle price will not be refunded. Proven force majeure is required for return.

Late Refund

A vehicle is rented for a limited period specified in the contract as detailed in the lease. The pick-up day and time selected by the tenant at the time of booking will be applied regardless of the delayed pick-up time. In case the vehicle is returned outside the rental period, the additional fee corresponding to the delayed hour and the above-mentioned penalty fee (1500 TRY for each day) will be applied, calculated over the rental fee. Fees reflected within the scope of delay will be deducted from the credit card given for the guarantee.

The additional time given to the tenant for the implementation of this procedure and penalty is 2 (two) hours.

Amendments

Reservation changes must be requested in writing via e-mail at least 24 hours before the start of your rental. Please note that phone number changes will not be accepted. A change request is not guaranteed and changes may be treated as a new booking.

Fines, Other Penalties and Administration Costs

It is the tenant's responsibility to pay for any parking tickets and traffic violations. If fines or traffic violations occur and Auto Home is involved in paying the fines and has to make such payments to the relevant and competent authority, a 25% fee will be charged to the customer.

HGS/HIGHWAY TOLLS

All toll highways and bridges in Turkey are used in vehicles ("Fast Pass System" or HGS) to control the traffic flow. HGS usage fee will be charged to the tenant's credit card after the rental. If the HGS tolls are subsequently reflected on Auto Home by the competent authority, the costs to be paid by Auto Home will be immediately recourse to the Tenant. In addition, an additional 25% service fee will be applied.

Vehicle Tracking Devices

Some of the vehicles contain monitoring devices to be used in accordance with our data protection policy.

Opening Hours

Location working hours can be found at www.autohome.com.tr. The tenant is responsible for controlling the location's opening hours, along with national or public holiday closures.

Complaints

All complaints must be made in writing via the Online Contact Form available at www.autohome.com.tr within 30 days of the last day of your rental. While Auto Home tries to resolve all claims brought to our attention, claims arising after this period may not be considered. If communication is lost at any point during the research process for more than 30 days, the process will be considered closed and no further action will be taken.

General Conditions

All reservations are subject to our terms and conditions.

Auto Home cannot accept responsibility for any fees arising from documents signed and accepted.

Auto Home will not be held responsible for willful damage to anyone who drives under the influence of alcohol or drugs, for vehicles entering the terrain or for driving without care and attention.
