CONDUCT OF TEST DRIVES
Street and racetrack test drives are carried out with a qualified tutor sitting next to the driver.
When the car allows it, you can have passengers in the back seats for the street test drives after the payment of an additional quote. Passengers can be minors, but only after the permission of their parents or guardians.
Urban roads test drives take place either in the city or in suburban routes, depending on the length of the selected path.
The length of the test drive is expressed in kilometers, and the estimated time is calculated on a regular driving style in accordance with the rules of the road. If the driver drives at a higher speed, the duration of the test drive could be less for the same amount of kilometers.
The driver must adhere to the rules of the road. Potential fines disputed locally or received later are the sole responsibility of the driver.
The driver must strictly follow the instructions of the co-pilot. If the instructor recognizes imprudent or dangerous driving behavior, he is allowed to immediately stop the test drive.

CANCELLATION POLICY

After this period (24 hours), canceling the reservation will incur a penalty equal to the amount of the deposit paid, 30% of the total rental.
