Automated Key Collection Service

- You have a valid driving license, a Driver ID issued to you as part of a previous rental and that all the elements of your reservation have been confirmed in advance,

- The station where your Vehicle will be collected is equipped with the Service,

- You agree to the electronic validation of your rental contract and accept these Special Terms & Conditions in addition to the Europcar Terms and Conditions of Hire.

You must notify Europcar as soon as possible if there are any changes regarding the status of your driving license between placing your booking with us and collecting the keys for the vehicle from the Key Dispenser. If not; you must assume sole responsibility for any consequence arising from the lack of veracity in the information provided, as well as the lack of communication of any alteration of the driver's driving license at the time of use of the Key Dispenser system and during the use of the vehicle rented through this system.

At the time of withdrawal of the keys from our vending machines, it will not be possible to purchase additional services without presenting yourself at the counter.

Process to collect the keys

To collect the keys from our automatic Key Dispenser, you will receive an email indicating how to proceed (code to be entered or web link allowing you to open the locker remotely).
