The price of optional extras is calculated based on your requested start and end dates and times.
1. Booking Reference
You must bring your reservation or booking confirmation email with you when you collect the vehicle.
2. Driving Licence
Renters and additional drivers must the in possession of a valid unendorsed driving licence of their country of residence. A driving licence must be held for a minimum of one year.
Foreign driving licences are accepted under the conditions that:
In the event that a photo is not present, the ID document or passport with a photo is required.
In the event that the licence is in another language, an international driving licence should accompany the foreign driving licence. No driving permits or certified copies of the original driver’s license may be accepted. A translated version of the licence, stamped by the embassy, can be accepted when accompanied by the licence.
Please note, foreigners must present a valid passport.
Jimmy’s accepts all major credit cards. The credit card being used must be in the name of the renter. Payment can also be made using debit cards and EFTs.
Before Jimmy’s will let you rent the vehicle, we will take a pre-authorisation.
A pre-authorisation holds an amount of money in your account. Once a pre-authorisation has happened, you won’t be able to use that money for anything else until you’ve paid for the rental and your card company releases the pre-authorisation. While a pre-authorisation is in effect, it may look like the amount has been deducted from your account, this isn’t the case; the money is simply 'on hold'.
The amount is either fixed or calculated based on the estimated vehicle rental price, plus the estimated price of all the optional extras you’ve requested, plus an amount to allow for any fuel you may use, plus a weekend deposit (if applicable).
At vehicle return, the final payment will be calculated and processed using the payment card provided.
Your card company, not Jimmy’s, is responsible for releasing the pre-authorisation and processing the approved refunds, and this can take up to 14 days.
The minimum age is 18 years and the driving licence and credit checks will be carried out against you and any additional drivers or persons making payment towards the rental.
There is no maximum age.
Jimmy’s may refuse to rent to you if you or anyone in your party behaves in an unacceptable way. This includes being under the influence of drugs or alcohol or is abusive or threatening to our staff.
By making the booking you agree to identity, security, driving licence and credit checks being carried out against you and any additional drivers making payment towards the rental.
By making a booking, you expressly agree to Jimmy’s using your personal information for as long as the law allows us to.
We will us your personal information to:
You have the legal right to access the information we hold about you, and if you are able to provide the necessary justification, you may ask for any personal data to be corrected, modified, blocked or removed. You also have a legal right to object to the processing of such information for compelling and legitimate reasons.
Jimmy’s will not be responsible for losses you have suffered as a result of us breaching these booking terms where such losses are not within ours and/or contemplation at the time the booking is made. Jimmy’s is not responsible for any indirect losses (loss of profits, loss of enjoyment or loss of opportunity). These limits will not apply to the extent not permissible by law. Nothing in these booking terms reduces your statutory right relating to a refund (if any).
