Please include a copy of any paper work from the supplier or police as this will help us process your enquiry more expediantly.

Answer: This will depend on the supplier you are renting from and the country you are collecting from. There will be more information on your specific rental available at the time of booking, and also included in your rental documentation. If you have any additional queries or cannot find the information you require, please contact us at reservations@carhire3000.ie or on 1800 944 706

Answer: Traveljigsaw acts as a car rental broker. Bookings made through us are subject to, firstly, our own terms and conditions. These cover your agreement with us and will be provided with your rental documentation, as well as being available on our website. The actual rental of your vehicle will then also be subject to the law of the country in which it is supplied to you and for this reason you will be required to sign a rental contract with the rental company which supplies the vehicle. You should satisfy yourself that you understand (and agree) to the terms and conditions of the contract. If you have any further questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact a member of our team on 1800 944 706.

Answer: Traveljigsaw operates a best price guarantee and we promise if you find a better like for like pre-paid rental price before or after booking, but prior to pick up, we will beat that price. The Price watch guarantee applies to pre-paid rental prices offered on like for like car hires by other independent UK car rental operators using comparable suppliers. It does not apply to vehicles which have an "on-request" status with Traveljigsaw or the operator to whom we are being compared. It is valid before or after booking up until the rental start date, and does not apply to promotional offers, nor prices offered via Airline websites/ call centres. Traveljigsaw will need to verify the terms and conditions of the alternative offer - once the price, suppliers & T&Cs have been verfied a member of our team will contact you with an update on your quote. It is important to note that like for like covers both product and service. For example should the other price be for a rental off airport outside the terminal whereas Traveljigsaws price is for a price with a supplier on airport with a desk in the terminal this will not be considered like for like.Please note pricewatch requests are handled between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday - however requests can be submitted at any time via the pricewatch form on the website.

Answer: Additional Extras will either be payable in advance or payable locally when collecting the vehicle from the supplier. Most will be payable locally, for example child seats, additional drivers, ski racks etc, but supplementary Traveljigsaw products will be paid for at the time of booking.

Answer: In the event of any mechanical difficulties or accidents involving your car, it is important that you advise the local car rental company as soon as possible, (within 24 hours). In the case of an accident the local police should be advised and a police report completed, and the full details of the 3rd party should also be taken. You will need to complete a full accident report form when returning the vehicle to the supplier. The car rental company must give authority to replace or repair a vehicle. It is important that you retain a copy of all documentation for your own records

It is important to allow us as much time as possible to confirm them with the suppliers, so please try to let us know at least a week in advance.

If you do not possess a credit card in your own name, please call our team on 1800 944 706 who can check with the suppliers in the location you are renting at to see whether any can accept a cash deposit.

Answer: Yes - it is important that you provide the paper part of your license as well as the photo card. The company will not be able to supply you with a vehicle without this.

Answer: By providing us with a flight number, this ensures that the supplier is aware of when you should be arriving, but will also be able to check on any delays. Without this information the supplier could assume you were a "no show" and rent the vehicle to another customer.

Answer: The International Driving Licence (IDL) is recognised worldwide and identifies its holder as a properly licensed driver. It is normally valid for 5 years but does not replace a valid National Driver's Licence which will always be required. It enables local traffic police and rental companies to understand the language on your normal driving licence. The IDL is not required where English is the primary spoken language of the country. It is also not mandatory in many countries within Europe, but is recommended for most due to language barriers. The requirement for the IDL will be clearly shown during the booking process and on your rental documentation. If you are in any doubt please do not hesitate to contact a member of our team for further information on 1800 944 706

Answer: It is normally possible to reduce the excess on the vehicle by purchasing additional products from the supplier locally.

Answer: When a car group is on request this is likely to be due to a limited amount of these vehicles in the fleet, so we need to contact the supplier to confirm availability. You will be contacted within 48 hours to advise of any problems should they arise.

Answer: These will differ from country to country and between rental companies. You will be advised at the time of booking about the terms in place, and this will also be shown on the rental documentation. In most cases you will be required to leave a deposit equal to the excess amount and to cover the fuel element of the rental. You may also need to leave a further deposit to cover any additional extras taken locally.

Answer: A security deposit is the name given to the amount the supplier blocks at the start of the rental to cover themselves for potential costs with the rental. This normally takes the form of an amount blocked on the principal driver's credit card and will normally be the excess amount, plus fuel deposit. Additional extras can carry additional deposit requirements. This deposit ensures that the customer can cover any damage to the vehicle or cover the cost of refuelling the vehicle in the event they don't and is standard practice in car rental. Provided the car is returned in the same condition as rented, the security deposit will be returned in full at the end of the rental.

Answer: Snow chains & tires are available at some locations and should be requested at the time of booking. Unfortunately due to demand these cannot always be guaranteed, so the earlier these can be requested the better the chance of securing these. These options will incur a fee, which will be payable to the supplier locally at the time of pick up.

Answer: These items are not automatically included and in most cases need to be requested at the time of booking, and paid for locally. The inclusions for your rental will be clearly shown at the time of booking and on your rental documentation.

Answer: A winterisation fee is an amount charged by some suppliers during certain periods of the year to cover the cost of additional equipment added to the vehicle over this period.

Answer: Please contact a member of our team as soon as possible using our International Free phone number +800 4473 3000

Answer: Car Hire works on a 24 hour clock, so if you rent from 10am Monday to 10am Tuesday this is considered 1 day. If you rent from 10am Monday to 1pm Tuesday you have then passed 24 hours and have therefore entered a second day of rental and will therefore be charged for 2 days rental. Please therefore check your times carefully when booking as times can have a big impact on price.

Answer: Most rental companies will provide the car with a full tank of fuel and you will need to return the car full. (Most will take a security deposit for the fuel from you when collecting the car). If you do not return the car full then they will charge you a local rate for refuelling along with a refuelling charge. Due to the higher costs involved with this, we would recommend returning the car full. Some of these companies will offer you the chance to prepurchase your fuel in advance, in which case if taken, you need to return the car as empty as possible. Finally there are companies which will provide you with a full tank of fuel, charge you locally for this and advise you to return the car empty. If you are renting for 3 days or less you should highlight this to the company at the time of renting in case they can work out an alternative fuel plan with you. We will always provide you with details of the fuel plan on your rental documents so you are aware of the policy of the rental company.

Answer: In certain locations, with certain suppliers specialised vehicles may be available. Please contact our team on 1800 944 706 or email reservations@carhire3000.ie for further information regarding this.

Answer: Traveljigsaw has a dynamic pricing policy & prices are subject to change at any time. Unfortunately we cannot honour prices previously seen unless you have a quote held with that price.

Answer: Traveljigsaw currently offers it's customers free amendments, giving you peace of mind should your travel plans change.

Answer: If the supplier agrees to open a location outside of it's regular hours to provide a vehicle to you, then they will usually charge a fee for doing this - this is called an "out of hours fee". This fee covers the cost of staffing the location and is payable locally when collecting the vehicle.

Answer: When returning the vehicle you will need to have your rental paperwork from the rental company ready to hand over. This will detail the mileage & any damage on the vehicle when you collected the vehicle. Traveljigsaw strongly suggests when returing the vehicle that you take the time to walk around the vehicle with the representative from the rental agency to inspect for damage before signing the documentation as this can reduce any problems further down the line. You will receive a final copy of the documentation from the supplier to take with you - please keep this safe.

Answer: When renting over a major holiday period, Traveljigsaw suggests that you try and book your vehicle as far in advance as possible. Like holidays over this period, availability does become more scarce & prices do rise, so by booking earlier it is possible to secure the best deal. Key times of the year to be aware of are: Easter, Christmas, School Holidays, Late July through Early August

Answer: Traveljigsaw will show the recommended number of people the vehicle can hold whem booking and on all customer documentation. It is important that this is adhered to as this is the number of people the vehicle is insured for.

Answer: In the event of any mechanical difficulties it is important that you advise the local car rental company as soon as possible, (within 24 hours).

Please note it is not advisable to leave your vehicle in the event of a break down as contents are often not covered.

Answer: In most cases your rental will include unlimited mileage, however with some speciality/prestige vehicles and rentals in remote locations in Australia or Canada there will be a limit to the kilometers above and beyond which a charge will be levied. The mileage policy will be clearly shown at the time of booking and on your rental documentation.
