Privacy

What kind of personal information does driveyouaway.com use?

When you make a rental car booking, you will be asked for the relevant pieces of information required to fulfill the rental car services requested, this may include main drivers name and surname, contact details (email, address, city, postcode, country and telephone number) and payment information.

To make it easier to manage your reservations, you can open a user account. This allows you to save your personal settings, review previous bookings and manage future reservations.

When you visit our website, even if you do not make a reservation, we may automatically collect some information about your computer, such as your IP address, which browser you’re using (such as Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer), and information about your computer’s operating system, about your online activity such as cars viewed and bookings made and pages that have been shown to you. If you are using a mobile device, we might also collect data that identifies your mobile device, device-specific settings and characteristics and latitude/longitude details. None of this information by itself will be able to tell us who you are, but it can still considered to be ‘personal’ information.

We may also receive information about you when you use certain social media services.

Prices and Best Price Guarantee

The prices on our site are highly competitive. All prices on  our website are per car/ per day and are displayed including VAT tax and all other taxes (subject to change of such taxes), unless stated differently on our website or in the confirmation email.

Sometimes cheaper rates are available on our website for a specific car, however, these rates made by car service providers may carry special restrictions and conditions, for example in respect to cancellation and refund. Please check the car and rate details thoroughly for any such conditions prior to making your reservation.

To ensure we are making a fair comparison between our various car rental providers, we always use the same reservation conditions and search filters ( pick-up point, pick-up and return date, cancellation policy, car type and preferred price). This means that you get the same type of car for a lower price compared to other check-in dates at the same time of year.

The currency converter is for information purposes only and should not be relied upon as accurate and real time; actual rates may vary. Obvious errors and mistakes (including misprints) are not binding. All special offers and promotions are marked as such.
