In order to benefit from all advantages of the Program, advance booking is mandatory: the Privilege Member must indicate his or her Europcar ID when making a reservation either by logging in before booking or during the online booking process or by quoting his/her Europcar ID when booking over the phone.

5. Ready Service

5.1 The "Ready Service"

Each Privilege Member will benefit from a faster rental process: the "ReadyService" if he/she has filled in their payment and preferred insurance details in his/her profile or if he/she is entitled to a Privilege Charge card.

In these cases, the ReadyService gives access to a Master Rental Agreement whereby all information is pre-printed on the rental agreement on arrival in the Europcar agency, via dedicated lines or counters in the major airports.

Otherwise, Privilege Members will be able to select the ReadyService for each booking via the eReady online option when applicable.

The ReadyService is available in the following participating stations.

To be able to benefit from the ReadyService, the Privilege Member shall make his/her reservation up to 2 (two) hours prior to the vehicle pick-up time and date.

Options that are not available online such as optional insurances will not allow the Privilege Member to benefit from the ReadyService as he/she will need to directly buy them at the counter.

In some Europcar Privilege locations in Germany, the Privilege Member will be able to benefit from the Ready Key Terminal, via a self-service key box system (see list below). This enables the Privilege Member to retrieve his/her car keys and rental agreement directly from an automated kiosk via his/her Privilege card thus bypassing the counter and going directly to the car park.

When booking on line, the Privilege member will receive an online booking confirmation for each rental.

5.1.2 Payment Terms

By signing up the Privilege enrollment form online with the permanent ReadyService via full payment details entry or via Privilege Charge card enrollment, the Privilege member accepts for his/her Payment ID to be charged with all amounts related to the rental without having to sign the rental agreement at the counter unless the local law of the country of rental expressly forbids such practice (e.g. South Africa and Portugal).

If the Privilege Member enrolls without the Ready service option, i.e. without entering the means of payment and preferred insurance details, the Privilege Member will be offered the eReady option when applicable or will need to enter the means of payment details each time he/she books a Vehicle.

If the Privilege Member chooses the “prepayment” option, the payment of the rental price will be charged on the Payment ID entered at time of booking and additional charges, if any, will be charged upon return of the Vehicle..  When the Privilege Member selects the “pay at pick up” price, the Payment ID entered will be automatically charged with all sums related to the rental at time of Vehicle return without the Privilege Member having to show such Payment ID at the counter.  If several Payment ID are entered on the Profile or Privilege enrollment form, the preferred Payment ID will be the first preferred valid bank card or the Privilege Charge card if applicable.
