On all rentals made on the airport location, we will charge a 12% Airport Fee in all charges, to be paid locally.

Additional Drivers

The charge for an “additional driver” is $5.00 per person per day and conditions are the same as the renter. Only the renter and the authorized “additional drivers”, which are mentioned and specified on the rental agreement, are authorized to drive the car.
