The Toyota Alphard always comes with a chauffeur. With one of our chauffeurs driving there is no security deposit and no Excess Fee for Damage. Read our chauffeur standards.

Deposits

You see the exact security deposit for your car in your quote before you book, and again on your booking page. It is fully refundable and due with your remaining balance by handover. It is not an extra charge: it is returned when the car is returned. Your security deposit is refunded immediately after the return handover inspection. It comes back the same way you paid it: by M-Pesa to the number it came from, to the bank account you paid from, back to your card, or in cash. We check the car together and film it, just as we did at handover, and you get a written return receipt. If nothing is owed, you get it all back.

Only these can be taken off:

• fuel below the level you received, at the pump price
• traffic and speed camera fines, parking and tolls, at cost
• a late return, after the 1-hour grace period
• new damage shown on the handover and return videos, up to your Excess Fee for Damage

Anything taken off is on a written list, with the video or a receipt to show it, and there are no admin or processing fees.

The full rules are in our rental terms.

What you pay for

Fuel is not included: you get the car with a recorded fuel level and return it with the same. Fines and tolls are yours to pay. Late returns: you have a 1-hour grace period, then each hour costs 10% of the daily rate. See how booking works, or pick a car from the fleet.
