• No-Show Fees: Charges apply for no-shows.
• Late Return Grace Period: Typically, a 59-minute grace period is provided for late returns, after which additional charges may apply.

• License requirements: A valid driver’s license in English is required, or an international driving permit if the license is in another language.

Ezi Car Rental typically operates on a “full-to-full” fuel policy, meaning the vehicle should be returned with a full tank of fuel. Failure to do so may result in refueling charges.
