1.2. The Rental agreement, the T&C, the Handover protocol, the Return protocol, and the Price list of services and costs signed by the Customer shall together constitute the Rental agreement. Certain provisions of the Rental agreement agreed between the Customer and VanBaltic and executed in writing shall prevail over T&C.

2.1. The Rental agreement shall be deemed to have been concluded upon it being signed by both parties. The Rental agreement must be concluded in writing on paper or electronically, signed with a secure electronic signature.

2.2. The Lessee shall be any individual or entity legally entitled and capable of fulfilling the obligations and duties outlined in this Rental Agreement.

3.1. VanBaltic provides the Lessee with the vehicle selected in the booking. If the vehicle selected at the time of booking is not available at the start of the rental period, VanBaltic has the right to provide an equivalent vehicle (replacement vehicle). If this is not possible, the Lessee will be refunded for all payments received under the booking and the Rental agreement. No other claims of a compensatory nature whatsoever against VanBaltic shall be admissible and shall not exist. At the moment of signing the handover protocol of the replacement vehicle, the Lessee acknowledges that the replacement vehicle is equivalent to the booked one and agrees that he/she is not entitled to claim and receive any further compensation from VanBaltic in this respect.

3.2. VanBaltic reserves the rights to cancel a vehicle booking at any time if the Customer or their authorized driver fails to meet VanBaltic’s safety and security standards. In such cases, VanBaltic will promptly refund all payments received from the Customer for the booking. VanBaltic is not required to provide detailed reasons for the cancellation and may simply state that the safety and security requirements were not satisfied.

3.3. VanBaltic shall be entitled to cancel the Customer’s vehicle booking request if the Customer owes VanBaltic for obligations previously established and within which the Customer has not settled payments with VanBaltic. In such cases VanBaltic shall be entitled to allocate the Customer’s share of the funds paid by the Customer to settle the Customer’s obligations by refunding the Customer for the portion of the funds remaining.

3.4. All vehicles are rented with the necessary documents, including vehicle registration documents, the European accident report form, and mandatory insurance documents. Basic camping and kitchen equipment may be provided free of charge. If the vehicle has a water system, the wastewater tank will be handed over to the Lessee empty. If a toilet is reserved as additional equipment, it will also be provided with an empty tank.

3.5. Depending on the type of vehicle, the Lessee is entitled to rent additional accessories and equipment, the list and prices of which are available on the VanBaltic website. All additional equipment and accessories must be mutually agreed upon in writing, and the received items must be recorded in the delivery and return documents. If the Lessee cancels the agreement or the reserved accessories and equipment prepared for delivery or installed on the vehicle, the renter is obligated to pay VanBaltic the full amount according to the price list.

3.6. The vehicle is handed over to the Lessee with a full tank, unless the handover protocol specifies a different tank capacity. The engine is filled with the correct amount of engine oil. The Lessee must return the vehicle with the same amount of fuel as stated in the handover protocol.

4.1. The rental period begins when the vehicle is handed over to the Customer at the agreed time and ends upon its return to VanBaltic at the specified location and time outlined in the rental agreement or handover protocol. The rental price is calculated per overnight stay. Unless otherwise agreed, vehicle handover on the rental start date occurs between 2:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., while the return on the rental end date takes place between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.

A few days before the rental period begins, VanBaltic staff will confirm the exact time slot for vehicle pickup. The Lessee may request specific pickup or return times, which will be accommodated if technically feasible and subject to availability. Approved requests may incur an additional fee. Early pickup or late return can also be arranged for an additional rental fee, subject to availability.

The minimum rental period is 3 nights. 1 night is interpreted as a calendar night. VanBaltic reserves the right to set a different minimum rental period if necessary.

4.2. For late return of the vehicle, Lessee will be charged a penalty.

4.3. Early termination of the Rental agreement is excluded under standard circumstances. The above does not apply to the rights of VanBaltic to terminate the Rental agreement immediately if the Lessee grossly violates the terms and conditions of the Rental agreement, endangers the vehicle, his/her own or other persons’ health or life.  The circumstances necessary for unilateral termination of the Rental agreement are usually the result of unlawful acts of the Lessee referred to in Section 14, but VanBaltic shall be entitled to terminate the Rental agreement in other cases, as well as in cases where such a right arises under the provisions of the Civil Code.

4.4. If the Lessee has any specific requirements to be fulfilled with regard to the vehicle equipment (e.g., winter tires are required in September), he/she must inform VanBaltic well in advance. Each such request will be considered on a case-by-case basis as to its feasibility. VanBaltic will make every effort to comply with these specific requirements; however, VanBaltic reserves the right to waive these requirements if, for technical reasons, this is not possible or is too burdensome. Failure to comply with these specific requirements shall not affect the validity of the Rental agreement.

5.1. Before picking up the vehicle, the Lessee must present:

5.1.1. a valid international driving license (Category B),

5.1.2. a valid means of payment (credit card),

5.1.3. a valid identity card (electronic identification card (eID)) or passport.

5.2. If the Lessee cannot provide any of the above documents upon pick up of the vehicle, VanBaltic has the right to refuse the conclusion of the Rental agreement, retaining the Rental price paid by the Lessee. In such cases, the Lessee shall not be entitled to make any claims against VanBaltic. The Lessee shall reimburse VanBaltic for all costs incurred in preparation for the execution of the Rental agreement.

5.3. The vehicle may only be driven by the Lessee or his/her additional authorized driver specified in the Rental agreement.  The Lessee shall be personally liable for all damages incurred to VanBaltic as a result of the acts or omissions of the authorized driver(s).

5.4. Drivers must have a valid international driving license.  An official translation of the driving license in Latvian or English must be provided if the license is issued in a non-Roman alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Greek, Russian, Hebrew or Japanese (and other similar non-Roman alphabets).

5.5. The Lessee and authorized driver can only be a person who is at least 23 years old and has at least 2 years of uninterrupted driving experience in a similar type of vehicle.

5.6. If more than one person drives the vehicle during the Rental agreement period, all of them must be registered in a Rental agreement and authorised by VanBaltic. This means that all persons must attend at handover and present a valid international driving licence and an eID or passport. In this regard, all such persons are jointly and severally liable for any damages caused to VanBaltic.

5.7. Unauthorised drivers are not allowed to drive the vehicle. A breach of these provisions shall entitle VanBaltic to terminate the Rental agreement immediately.

5.8. In the case of use of an unauthorised driver of a vehicle, neither VanBaltic insurance nor any other services related to the insurance event arising from these Terms and Conditions shall be available to the Lessee.

5.9. A pet (one small to medium-sized well-behaved dog) is allowed to be brought along on the journey, subject to prior notification to VanBaltic, and if it is duly booked online and a dog fee is paid.

5.10. If you are travelling with your dog, it is important that the interior, upholstery and sleeping area of the dog are well protected from dirt and debris. Dogs are not allowed in the pop-up roof bed. The Lessee is also always liable for any damage to the inside or outside of the vehicle caused by the dog’s bad behaviour, habits and/or lack of hygiene. The fee for the dog is not a cleaning fee. If the fee for the dog is not booked before a trip and we notice or detect the unauthorised transportation of pets of any kind, it will be a violation of our terms and conditions for which VanBaltic is entitled to apply a penalty in the amount of EUR 500.

6.1.

6.4. The Lessee is personally responsible for familiarising themselves with the laws and regulations of the country (including the country they are travelling through) to which they are travelling, in particular traffic laws (road tolls, etc.). This also applies to the presence of appropriate equipment and the conformity of the vehicle’s technical specification. The Lessee shall be liable to VanBaltic for any breach of these obligations. If VanBaltic, as the owner of the vehicle, receives claims from third parties, e.g., regarding unpaid tickets, fines, administration costs, these will be transferred to the Lessee and the Lessee will be fully responsible for the immediate fulfilment of these obligations.

7.1. VanBaltic hands over to the Lessee the vehicle, its registration documents and a set of keys at the handover place agreed between the Parties, fit for driving, fully filled with fuel and other necessary fluids, inspected, and clean inside and out. The keys shall only be handed over to the Lessee if all payments under the Rental agreement, including for any additional accessories, equipment or services, have been paid and the security deposit has been paid in full in accordance with the procedure and to the extent set out in these Terms and Conditions. If the above conditions are not met, VanBaltic reserves the right to refuse the delivery of the vehicle to the Lessee, terminate the concluded Rental agreement, if any, retaining the full amount of the paid funds.

7.2. The Lessee is obliged to inspect the vehicle before picking it up. After the vehicle has been inspected, VanBaltic and the Lessee shall sign a vehicle handover protocol including all obvious and detectable defects and discrepancies, as well as odometer and mileage readings, general and visual condition and cleanliness of the vehicle. Defects which are brought to the attention of VanBaltic by the Lessee after the signing of the Handover protocol shall not be recognised by VanBaltic as justified and existing at the time of handover of the vehicle.

8.1. The vehicle must be returned at a pre-agreed return date and time. Upon return of the vehicle, the Lessee shall hand over to VanBaltic the vehicle registration certificate, keys and remotes. The Lessee rights to use the vehicle expires at the end of the rental period set out in the Rental agreement. If the Lessee continues to use the vehicle after the expiry of the agreed rental period in Rental agreement, the terms and conditions of the concluded Rental agreement shall apply to this legal relationship.

 

8.2. If the vehicle is not returned at the agreed time, the Lessee shall pay a penalty as follows:

 

For the first delayed hour – €50.

For delays from 1 to 24 hours – double regular one night rental fee.

For delays exceeding 24 hours – triple regular rental fee for each delayed 24 hours.

 

If the delay causes losses to the next renter or VanBaltic, the Lessee must additionally compensate for all such losses. Penalties are applied until the vehicle, documents, and keys are returned to VanBaltic. Furthermore, VanBaltic reserves the right to claim compensation for any third-party claims or loss of profit resulting from the Lessee’s failure to fulfill their obligations.

If vehicle interior cleaning services were not booked and paid for at the time of reservation, and the Lessee does not return the vehicle in the same clean condition as it was received, an interior cleaning fee will apply.

If the vehicle’s exterior is excessively dirty, an additional one-time exterior cleaning fee 20 EUR will be charged.

8.7. If, during the inspection, damage is found which is not specified in the handover protocol, it is presumed that the Lessee is responsible for the damage, unless the Lessee proves that the damage was already present when the vehicle was handed over to him/her. If hidden damage to the vehicle is found which was not objectively detectable at the time of inspection, VanBaltic will send a claim to the Lessee within 14 days, accompanied by photographs or other evidence confirming the existence of the hidden damage and the Lessee will be obliged to pay the amount of the claim immediately.

8.8.

If the vehicle becomes unusable due to damage caused by Lessee’s actions or inactions and it is left for repairs outside the Lessor’s country of registration, and the Lessee leaves or departs from this foreign country where the repairs are being carried out, the Lessee shall bear all transportation costs to return the vehicle to Lessor after the repairs are completed.

If during the Rental agreement period the vehicle suffers damage which did not exist at the time of handover of the vehicle and which was not reflected (recorded) in the handover protocol and about which the Lessee did not inform VanBaltic at the time of its occurrence, on the basis of which insurance companies refuse to pay insurance claims, all costs of repair of the vehicle shall be borne by the Lessee unless he/she proves that such damage already existed at the time of handover of the vehicle.

9.4. The amount of the security deposit is without prejudice to the amount of any claim for damages.

9.5. Damage to the vehicle’s glass, awnings, pop-up roof, tent, chassis, tires, rims, equipment, accessories, and interior is not insured. The renter is fully responsible for covering all incurred damages and costs, except in cases where insurance coverage is provided, and Lessee’s liability is limited under the purchased Carefree package and its corresponding deductible.

9.6. If the Lessee causes damage to the vehicle, its equipment, or accessories due to improper use or negligence (e.g., under the influence of alcohol, narcotic, or psychotropic substances) or by failing to comply with the vehicle’s technical operating rules (including overloading the vehicle, driving with insufficient oil or coolant levels, low tire pressure, or on unsuitable roads), all related costs must be fully covered by the Lessee. Additionally, the Lessee must pay a contractual penalty of 500 euros to VanBaltic for these violations.

9.7. Tire and Rim Damages. The Lessee is responsible for any tire and rim damages occurring during the rental period unless it is proven that the damages existed before the vehicle was handed over, or if the renter’s liability is limited by one of the selected Carefree packages.

The Lessee is not allowed to replace or repair a damaged tire or wheel independently and must always use roadside assistance services approved by VanBaltic. Costs for towing, tire installation or repair are not charged to the Lessee if the roadside assistance services provided in the rental agreement are used, an appropriate liability reduction package has been purchased, and the maximum compensation limit set by the insurance is not exceeded. The Lessee is responsible for covering all material costs, such as the purchase of a new tire.

If tire or rim damages are discovered after the vehicle’s return and they are not documented in the handover report, the Lessee must compensate Vanbaltic expenses based on the purchasing price of a new tire or rim and its retrofitting. Repair of tires and rims is acceptable only in cases when it does not affect safety, value and longevity.

9.8. Glass Damage. The Lessee is fully responsible for any cracks or damage to the vehicle’s glass caused by a stone chip or other object, provided such damage was not noted in the vehicle handover report. An exception applies in cases where this risk has been reduced or eliminated through a liability reduction package.

All necessary steps to ensure that the incorrect fluid is completely replaced with the correct fluid before the vehicle is put into service, including the replacement of all equipment where the incorrect fluid may have accumulated (e.g., tanks, pumps, taps, pipes, etc.) must be carried out exclusively at an Authorised Dealer Service Centre. All costs related to the replacement of fluids and necessary equipment shall be borne by the Lessee. The Lessee is also responsible for any other damage to the vehicle and its accessories resulting from the use of incorrect or inappropriate fluids.

9.10. The Lessee is responsible for damage to the vehicle’s engine caused by inadequate oil and/or coolant levels. The Lessee is obliged to regularly check the compliance of the oil level, coolant level, tyre pressure, as well as the condition of tyres before commencing the journey and during the journey. The inspection must be carried out as often as necessary to prevent any damage. Any damage to the vehicle resulting from non-compliance with the above conditions will be borne entirely by the Lessee. For non-compliance with the vehicle’s technical operation regulations, the Lessee shall pay VanBaltic a penalty of EUR 500.

9.12. Damage to the awning. To avoid possible damage to the awning, it should be noted that the awning must not be spread out in strong winds or rain and must never be left unattended.
