Rental terms

Last updated: 12 November 2026 · Sample terms — review with a lawyer before launch.

1. Booking and confirmation

A booking is confirmed only after Mivocar has confirmed availability and price in writing (WhatsApp or email). Website prices are indicative and may change until confirmation.

2. Driver requirements

The driver must present a valid Chinese driving licence (or a valid temporary driving permit where applicable), passport and, if requested, a credit card or cash deposit. China does not recognise International Driving Permits. Mivocar may refuse handover if documents are invalid.

3. Deposit

A refundable security deposit is due at pick-up. The deposit is returned within 15 working days after return, less any charges for damage, fuel, tolls or fines.

4. Insurance and excess

Rentals include the insurance cover described at booking. The renter remains responsible for the excess amount in case of damage, accident or theft, unless the damage is covered by an optional excess waiver purchased at pick-up.

5. Fuel

Vehicles are provided with a full tank and must be returned full. Refuelling charges apply if returned less than full.

6. One-way rentals

Cross-city drop-off is available between our branches. A one-way fee may apply and is confirmed at booking.

7. Tolls, fines and parking

The renter is responsible for tolls, parking charges and traffic fines incurred during the rental. Mivocar may pass on official notices plus an administration fee.

8. Cancellation

Free cancellation up to 48 hours before pick-up; later cancellation or no-show may be charged one day’s rental. Specific terms are confirmed at booking.

9. Use of the vehicle

The vehicle may not be used for racing, off-road driving, towing, driving under the influence, or by anyone not named in the contract. Cross-border travel is not permitted without prior written approval.

10. Liability

Mivocar is not liable for indirect losses such as missed flights, lost profits or personal effects left in the vehicle, except where liability cannot be excluded by law.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China. Disputes shall be resolved through the courts of the place where the vehicle was rented.
