Car rental in Prague

Conditions for Car Rental in Prague

Car rental services in Prague provided by RUNWELL company are subject to the following rules:

Reservation

An early booking of a car online directly on our website (e.g. online reservation) is possible only within a selected car class. Your early booking of a car in Prague on the RUNWELL website entitles you to a discount from the standard rental fee in the amount of 10% or more, depending on the season or current promotions. Your booking can be considered “early” and confirmed if it is made at least one day (24 hours) before the start of the car hire period. NOTE, PLEASE! The reservation what was made less then 24 hours before rental period starts shouldn`t be confirmed.

Please also note that certain car models may not be available due to various reasons beyond the company’s competency. Therefore, online booking only enables you to reserve a car in Prague within one selected car class rather than to book a specific car model. Should our company, for whatever reason, fail to provide a vehicle for you in the class of your selection, we shall upgrade your car to a higher comfort class, while the rental fee will remain unchanged. You may see the final rental fee calculation once you insert specific rental dates into your online booking and got a confirmation. Our company does not guarantee a replacement vehicle in case of a problem caused by the client (i.e. car accident, failure to comply with traffic regulations, violation of rules of car operation, etc.)

Minimum rental period in the RUNWELL RENT A CAR company is one day (24 hours).

Important! (cancelation policies)

In case of a longer than 1-hour delay for car pick up without prior notice via email or phone the company is entitled to hand over the reserved vehicle to another client. The price of reservation in this case will be charged as full amount. This rule does not apply to those bookings, that had been paid in advanced. Should a client cancel a confirmed booking more then 24 hours and less then 7 days before rental starts, the company is entitled to withhold an equivalent of a standard 1-day rental fee according to the selected car class. In both cases the booking details (starting and ending times, fees, etc.) always remain unchanged. Further details of your booking can always be discussed with the managers of RUNWELL through email correspondence or a phone call. We are always willing to find a mutually suitable solution and keen to accommodate to the client’s wishes.

Discounts

No discounts apply to additional extracurricular services, such as WEEKEND tariff (i.e. 3-day car rental at the price of 2 days), any activities outside office hours, car delivery or return outside Main office, and so on. Discounts do not combine. All discounts, including a frequent-client discount are calculated on the basis of a standard “office” price for car rental. For a final cost calculation a discount of the highest applicable percentage (incl. discount cards) is always used.

For car hire at the period from Friday 12:00pm until Monday 12:00pm a special WEEKEND RATE applies: 3 days at the price of 2. This tariff is only possible at the car pick-up/return point, i.e. the RUNWELL company central office (we are car rental in Prague downtown).

FAQ

RUNWELL car rental office is located in the very centre of Prague, 200 meters from the Wenceslas Square, in the same building where our rental cars are based. The full office address is Wilsonova 6, Prague 1.

Having finalised the documents for car rental, you will have the car ready within a few minutes. Unless you request a different return place at the time of ordering the car, you are expected to return the car in the office at the time specified in the contract. Be reminded that car delivery within Prague is free of charge, whereas the cost of car delivery to the Vaclav Havel international airport is EUR 20. For more information about car delivery and return in other cities of the Czech Republic and Europe please refer here.

There are several ways to park a car in Prague overnight without risking to violate parking rules of the Czech capital. The easiest way is to arrange parking in the hotel where you stay. If the hotel is located in the city centre or nearby, most likely it will be an extra charged service. If you are accommodated further out in the outskirts, then perhaps parking will be free of charge. Parking in the city allows you to park the car overnight in certain places marked by a white dotted line: even though from 6, 8 or 24 pm until 8 am parking is very often for free, please pay attention to the signs. It is important to bear in mind that you must not leave the car on the blue line because those parking places are reserved exclusively for Prague residents. For our customers who have rented a car from RUNWELL company we provide a possibility to park in our parking lot in the centre of Prague at a special price of EUR 10 per day.

Yes, you can return the car whenever you wish. It is a free service for our clients during working hours, i.e. between 8 am and 8 pm, whereas returning the car outside those hours, i.e. between 8 pm and 8 am will be charged extra. In case of an earlier car return the rental fee is not refunded, unless otherwise agreed.

Car return should be executed exactly at the time specified in the contract. If your plans change and you wish to prolong the car rental period, it is worth informing us in advance. Depending on the schedule of your car booking by next customers we shall either extend its rental period or exchange your car for another vehicle. It is important to note that in this case the cost of car hire will be calculated according to the “flexible tariff, when the rental cost per day decreases depending on the number of rental days + the cost per one extra day”. In other words, renting a car in Prague for 4 days will end up being cheaper than car rental for 3 days plus an extension by one more day.

Should the client be late with car return at the time specified in the contract, fail to inform RUNWELL company in advance and not answer phone calls, then in addition to the cost of an extra day of rent, RUNWELL company is entitled to impose a fine starting from CZK 1000. If the car is not returned within three days after the date of expected return specified in the contract, the car is considered stolen and the police of the Czech Republic take over the investigations and the car search.
