- VEHICLE RETURN.
The Customer agrees to return the vehicle in the same condition except for normal wear and tear in relation to the mileage covered with the tires, equipment, documents, and all equipment provided. The vehicle will be returned to the premises of Frank Rent Napoli S.r.l. during opening hours in the city where it was rented and on the day and time specified in this rental contract. The rental cost of a vehicle delivered with a full tank and returned without the same based on the "like to like" rent policy will be increased by €2.50 per missing liter, plus a refueling service charge of €30.00.
At the time of return of the vehicle, the Customer is required to verify the condition of the vehicle in the presence of the rental station staff. In the absence of such verification, the Customer acknowledges the accuracy and validity of the findings made by the rental station staff.

Failure to return the keys or vehicle documents (even if the vehicle has been returned) will result in the continuation of the rental until they are returned.
Loss, theft, and/or non-return of the keys for any reason will result in a penalty of €450.00.
- RENTAL EXTENSION.
If the Customer intends to extend the rental beyond the term specified in this contract, they must immediately notify the rental station to obtain authorization for the extension. The Customer is required to observe the terms and conditions set forth in this rental contract, even if the Lessor has authorized the extension of the rental period.
In the event that the customer, after entering into the rental contract, wants to return the vehicle (excluding cases where the return is caused by vehicle problems or faults), they will lose the entire rental cost but may receive a voucher for the free rental of another vehicle of equal value.
- INSURANCE POLICY.
The Lessor guarantees that an RCA insurance policy has been taken out. The insurance policy does not cover damage suffered by the driver or caused by the driver's liability, as specified in the policy, whose clauses and conditions relevant to this article are available, upon request, in paper form at each rental station of the Lessor.
