Can I add an additional driver?

Yes, you can add an additional driver for the entire rental period. They must meet the same requirements as the main driver (minimum age, license held for at least 2 years) and present their original license at pick-up.

Only drivers named on the contract are authorized to drive the vehicle. If this rule is not respected, all protections become void.

Why is it essential to declare the second driver?

If an accident occurs while the vehicle is being driven by someone not named on the rental contract, all protections are canceled and you will have to bear all the costs. Don't take that risk: declaring a second driver only costs a modest surcharge.

Can I add a driver after picking up the vehicle?

No. The additional driver must be added before the vehicle is picked up, for the entire rental period: when booking, from your customer account up to 48 hours before departure, or after that with the help of our Reservations team on WhatsApp +213 560 659 309.

Can I change the additional driver during the rental?

No. Only one additional driver can be declared, for the entire rental period.

This rule is based on insurance and liability requirements: in the event of an accident, the insurer must be able to identify immediately who was driving and whether that person was authorized to do so. Changing drivers during the rental would mean amending the contract, checking licenses again and updating the insurance.
