Guidance for rental position and return
I had an agreed rental return time of 08:00 and we entered the return car park at 07:38, emptied the car and handed the keys back to their staff at 08:00, which is when they open in the morning.
The next day I received an email stating that I had returned the car before the agreed time without prior agreement and they would be charging me 80 euros. VIMA are using the timestamp on the car park ticket (which is operated by AENA, not VIMA) as the return time of the vehicle, not the time at which you hand over the keys.
On close inspection, the T&Cs state that you cannot drive the car into the parking facility outside of authorised hours, even though this is a car park that anyone can drive into and is operated by a third party.
Using the car park ticket to override the physical key handover is solely designed to catch the customer out and in my view is an abusive practice.
I will leave it up to you to decide if this is a company you want to do business with, and I would also encourage you to dig deeper into the negative reviews.
If you do decide to book with VIMA, ensure you read their pages of T&C’s first. We thought we had done everything by the book.
EDIT in response to Vima’s comments:
VIMA how can I return a car at 08:00 if I am not allowed to enter the car park before 08:00?
if you think entering a public car park 22 minutes before the car is due to be returned and handing the keys over at exactly the specified time is worthy of an 80 euro charge, go ahead and rent with them.
This is not an isolated incident. If you look into the different review platforms, it’s a deliberate practice buried in the T&Cs designed to catch their customers off guard and extract additional money.
We acted in good faith and handed the keys to the car at exactly the right time. Driving into an open car park has nothing to do with the return time. It’s a short-sighted practice, Vima would be better building a relationship with their customers not destroying them. I don’t usually complain but believe this was more than worthy of my time and effort.
