4. Rental-Related Data and Key Customer Conditions

Because rentcarinibiza.com provides vehicle rentals, certain personal data is necessary to determine whether a customer may lawfully and safely rent a car. We may request proof of identity, driving entitlement, age, and payment method before releasing a vehicle.

4.1 Age and licence requirements

Drivers must meet the minimum age and driving experience requirements shown at the time of booking or vehicle collection. As a general rule, renters must hold a valid driving licence recognized in Spain and may be required to have held that licence for a minimum period. Additional age restrictions or young driver fees may apply for certain vehicle categories.

4.2 Payment, deposits, and liability

We may process payment card details to secure reservations, collect rental charges, and authorize a security deposit. Customers may be liable, subject to the rental agreement and any purchased protection products, for traffic fines, tolls, fuel charges, excess cleaning, late returns, administrative costs, and damage or loss caused during the rental period. Personal data may be used to document incidents, process insurance matters, and recover unpaid amounts where legally justified.

4.3 Cancellation and no-show handling

If you cancel a booking, we will process the information required to apply the cancellation terms displayed at booking. Depending on the rate selected, cancellations may be free up to a stated deadline, partially refundable, or non-refundable. If a customer fails to arrive without notice, we may classify the booking as a no-show and retain applicable charges in accordance with the agreed terms and applicable law.
