During the reservation process, Renter will be presented with several payment options: full or partial advance payment via the website or payment at the rental counter upon return of the Vehicle. In some cases, at Eldan’s sole discretion, full payment upon return of the Vehicle at the rental counter will not be possible, and Renter will be required to pay for the reservation either partially or in full upon making the reservation. Please note that the estimated cost of the rental may vary depending on the payment choice selected by the Renter.

Notwithstanding the aforesaid Eldan shall be entitled to charge the Renter a cancellation fee of up to NIS150 in each of the following cases: (a) in case of a cancellation not within the above timeframe; or (b) in case Renter does not arrive to pick up the Vehicle at the required pick-up time (“No Show”); or (c) in case Renter arrives to pick up the Vehicle but does not meet the pre-conditions required to rent the Vehicle under these terms or the Full Rental Terms (for example if the Renter does not have sufficient credit in his/her Credit Card or does not present a valid driver’s license). A cancellation fee may be charged for each reserved Vehicle subject to applicable law. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, if the cancelled order was for a Mini-Compact, Midsize or Family vehicle, the Renter shall not be charged a cancellation fee provided that the Renter notified Eldan of the cancellation within 1 working day of the originally required pick-up time. Otherwise, the Renter shall be charged a cancellation fee in accordance with the above.
A Renter which wishes to update the details of his/her/its reservation (including rental dates, type of vehicle, extras, pick up/return location, coverage for damages, etc.) may do so by completing the ”Update Reservation Form” or by contacting Eldan by telephone at 972-3-5579000. An Eldan representative will contact the Renter up to 2 working days after receiving the Renter’s notice, to confirm whether such update is acceptable to Eldan and whether, for whatever reason, such update affects the estimated rental cost. If Eldan does not confirm such update, for whatever reason, the initial reservation shall remain in full effect. If the Renter wishes to cancel the reservation (since the update was not confirmed or Renter does not agree to the updated cost), Renter may do so in accordance with the cancellation process set out above and may be charged with a cancellation fee, depending on the timing of cancellation as provided above. In any case, for the avoidance of any doubt, an update to the reservation will be effective only upon receipt of an updated Reservation Confirmation from Eldan. An “Update Reservation Form” which includes incomplete or erroneous reservation details or which was inadequately submitted and/or processed shall not bind Eldan (even if the source of the fault is not the Renter or such error is due to a technical fault/malfunction on the website).
It is clarified that any update to any of the reservation details (including dates, vehicle type, pick-up/return location, extras, coverage for damages, etc.), may change the total estimated cost of the rental, and Eldan will not be bound by the pricing displayed in the initial reservation process, including prices of extras, coverage for damages, etc.
If after the Reservation Confirmation, for whatever reason, the Vehicle and/or any extras reserved as part of the reservation are unavailable, Eldan will offer Renter an alternative Vehicle and/or extras equivalent to those reserved by the Renter (if available). If Renter chooses not to rent the alternative Vehicle and/or extras, the reservation will be cancelled and Eldan will return to the Renter the full payment made by Renter without any cancellation fee. It is hereby clarified that in such case, the only remedy available to Renter will be the refund of such payment and Renter shall not be entitled to, and hereby irrevocably waives, any other claims for damages, losses, costs, etc. including direct or indirect damages.
Pick up / Drop off fee
At the end of the rental period, the Renter will return the Vehicle to the Eldan branch from which it was picked up, or to a different Eldan branch in coordination with Eldan, otherwise the Renter will be charged with a handling fee in respect of the Vehicle's transportation, in accordance with Eldan's price list. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Renter renting a Vehicle of any category for a period not longer than 2 days, and the Renter picked up the Vehicle in Eilat and returned it to another Eldan branch (not in Eilat) or returned the Vehicle in Eilat after picking up the Vehicle in a different Eldan branch (not in Eilat) shall be charged with an additional drop off fee of NIS 819/US$222/Euro199/₤144.
Rates Policy
The estimated cost for the rental of the Vehicle is the cost indicated on the website at the time of reservation which will not constitute the final cost to the Renter but only an estimated cost based on the rental details at the time of reservation and may be subject to any change, amendment and addition to the rental details, including, without limitation, shortening or extending the rental period, changing the place and date of pick-up/return of the Vehicle, the purchase of any extras, etc. Without derogating from the foregoing, until the reservation is made, Eldan reserves its right to change, at any time, the prices of the rental, without being required to provide any prior notice.
It is hereby clarified that the minimal rental period is 24 hours so that any Renter that rents a Vehicle for a period of less than 24 hours shall in any event be charged for a 24-hour period. In addition, Eldan may determine, at its sole discretion, that a certain rental will be subject to a longer minimal rental period.
Toll road/Fast Lanes
The prices do not include payment for usage of toll roads/fast lanes. Payment for driving on a toll road/fast lane will be charged according to the rates published by the toll road/fast lane operator for non-subscribing customers plus an additional handling fee which appears in the price list displayed at Eldan’s branches.
To the best of Eldan’s knowledge Renters are able to directly contract with the toll road/fast lane operator, subject to the terms and conditions of the toll road/fast lane’s operating company and to the contractual terms of such company. This should not be viewed as a recommendation to directly contract with the operating company. Should the Renter violate his/her obligations to the toll road/fast lane operating company, the Renter will bear all charges, fines and legal expenses which Eldan may be required to pay the toll road/fast lane operator, plus handling fees as set out in the Standard Agreement.
