The cost of the repair will be borne by the responsible party, either the company or the traveler, depending on the cause of the breakdown/incident. Mechanical breakdowns, excluding batteries, are usually the result of normal wear and tear or obsolescence of the vehicle, but can also result from misuse by the traveler.

If the company refuses the repair or if the mechanical breakdown immobilizes the vehicle for a period longer than that stipulated by the applicable assistance, the company will be responsible for retrieving the vehicle from the repair shop once the necessary repairs have been completed.
If the immobilization is due to misuse or an accident caused by the traveler, the company may deduct the return shipping costs from the security deposit paid by the traveler. If the cause of the immobilization is unforeseen or undetermined, the return shipping costs will be shared equally by both parties, i.e., 50% for each party to the contract. The security deposit stipulated in the rental agreement may be used for this purpose.

If, in the latter case, the traveler has already paid for the repairs, the company is obligated to reimburse the traveler in full upon presentation of the corresponding invoices. The traveler is responsible for ensuring that repairs are carried out exclusively by a qualified and licensed mechanic.

Both parties to the contract jointly inspect the vehicle's condition and must record all findings in the rental agreement (paper or digital). It is the responsibility of the parties to agree on the language of the comments in the digital contract or, if two paper contracts are completed, to ensure that the information written in both copies is consistent, regardless of the language used. The company undertakes to check all important features of the vehicle, such as the air conditioning, heating, water heater, refrigerator, oven, and stovetop (this list is not exhaustive), during the vehicle inspection on the day of departure, as well as upon return of the vehicle, always in the presence of the traveler.

The company will not collect the deposit until the cost of the damage has been assessed and liability for it has been formally established. An amicable resolution is strongly recommended, but if no agreement can be reached between the parties, the company and the traveler must report the damage using the form available within 24 hours of the end of the rental period. If the vehicle is damaged before the end of the rental period, the owner is obligated to inform the next traveler to reach a possible financial settlement or make a gesture, if necessary.
The company is obligated to check the condition of all tires. Tires must be replaced every five (5) years. In case of an incident, the traveler must keep the damaged tire and/or take a photo of it, preferably showing the tire's age.
In the event of a puncture: the responsibility lies with the passenger. If only one tire needs to be replaced (and the second tire on the same axle is new), the passenger will be responsible for 100% of the replacement cost. However, in most cases, both tires on the same axle need to be replaced; in this case, the passenger will be responsible for 75% of the replacement cost (the damaged tire and the second tire on the same axle). The remaining 25% will be the responsibility of the owner.
The traveler will be held responsible for any incident occurring off conventional (paved) roads. Roads, trails, or dunes are not considered conventional roads.

- Tires up to 5 (five) years old or less: If the tire blowout is not the result of an accidental event related to the traveler's driving (e.g., impact with a fixed body or driving on unconventional roads), the company remains liable for all damages caused by the tire blowout and no amount can be claimed from the traveler.
If it is necessary to report the incident to the insurance company (in case of damage caused to the vehicle) and if the elements allow it, the expert will be able to determine the origin of said tire blowout or breakage, as well as the responsibility of the company or the traveler.
In the event that it is impossible to determine the origin of the blowout or breakage, the company or, where applicable, the Yescapa platform reserves the right to establish a shared responsibility, which implies a 50/50 payment for the company and 50/50 for the traveler.
In the event of a rental interruption due to a vehicle breakdown for which the traveler is not responsible, the company will reimburse the traveler for the cost of the unused days and kilometers. This reimbursement will be made directly between the parties to the contract. The company is solely responsible for this reimbursement. If such reimbursement is not received, the traveler may take legal action against the company.

Negligence | Retention |
Unemptied sewage (WC) | 50 EUR |
Clean water tank filling not completed | 5 EUR |
Greywater emptying not performed | 15 EUR |
Exterior cleanliness (marks on the bodywork, rims, windshield) not in accordance with the initial condition of the vehicle. | 15 EUR |

Rules of life on board | Retention |

Presence of pets | 50 EUR |
However, if the vehicle's condition requires professional cleaning, this service will be provided at the traveler's expense upon presentation of an invoice from the company. This service cannot be combined with any of the penalties mentioned above.
The amount(s) must be paid directly on the day the vehicle is returned, for the sole benefit of the company, to cover any maintenance or cleaning costs the company may incur. If the vehicle becomes immobilized, forcing the traveler to terminate the rental, and the immobilization is due to misuse or an accident caused by the traveler, the company may deduct the cleaning fee stipulated in these clauses from the traveler's security deposit. The security deposit specified in the rental agreement may be used to implement this measure.
The traveler may only leave the rental vehicle if assistance decides to do so following a vehicle breakdown. If the traveler leaves the vehicle for any other reason, they will automatically forfeit their right to a refund of the security deposit and will be financially responsible for the vehicle's return to the company's address, as well as for any damage caused to the vehicle until its return to the company's address.
Use of the vehicle during the entire rental period is only permitted within the territory of the Canary Islands. Failure to comply with these restrictions may result in the forfeiture of the security deposit.
In the event of vehicle immobilization due to a breakdown or an incident occurring outside the Canary Islands, the traveler is liable to cover the additional costs of repatriating the vehicle.
Both the digital contract and the paper contract will be available at the time of vehicle departure, in the language chosen by both parties.
In the event that the vehicle has superficial cosmetic damage (see table below) incurred during the rental period, the company must prioritize repair rather than replacement, which will be the responsibility of the traveler and therefore at their expense. Superficial cosmetic damage includes damage to the interior of the vehicle not covered by the rental insurance, such as the following:
Type of surface damage | Location of the damage |
Permanent stains (coffee, oil, glue, adhesive, etc.) | Fabrics (seats, cushions, mattresses, curtains) or other types of surfaces |
Scratches, scrapes | Any type of surface such as doors, partitions, screens, wardrobes, floors, etc. |
Impacts, chipping | Delicate surfaces such as sink, sink cover, basin, shower, lamp, table, etc. |
Small collisions | Partitions, doors, wardrobes, door handles or drawer pulls, etc. |
Spot burns (such as from cigarettes, kettles, coffee makers…) | Table, work surface, fabrics (cushions, seat, mattress), floors, etc. |
Information | Floors (linoleum), fabrics (cushions, seats, mattresses) and other types of surfaces. |
When it is impossible to repair superficial damage of an aesthetic nature, the traveler is obligated to compensate the company. The parties must agree on adequate compensation based on the extent of the damage and the original price of the damaged item.
- If the value of the damaged item is less than EUR 50: the traveler must replace the item or pay an amount equivalent to the price of a replacement item.
- If the item is valued at more than €50: the company may set a maximum repair cost of €150, depending on the extent of the damage and the item's price. Cosmetic damage cannot warrant replacing an item valued at more than €50 unless the damage renders the item unusable.
In the event that an aesthetic damage turns out to be a hidden damage, that is, that the item has been "covered up" to hide the damage, then the traveler will be considered responsible and will have to pay the cost of repairing said damage.
The traveler may not make any irreversible modifications, either inside or outside the vehicle, without the company's prior agreement. The traveler is required to check and monitor the levels of all vehicle fluids: engine oil, water, wastewater, power steering fluid, etc.
Windscreen cleaner and engine coolant. When necessary, the traveler must carry out this maintenance and replace the fluids.
The traveler must regularly check the tire pressure. As soon as necessary, the tires must be reinflated to the levels indicated in the vehicle's operating and maintenance guide provided by the manufacturer. This document must be given to the traveler by the company upon delivery of the vehicle.
The renter must replace any vehicle equipment damaged during the rental period. This includes, but is not limited to, windshield wipers, toilet paper, and light bulbs. The renter is responsible for all damages caused by their actions, negligence, or the negligence of third parties during the rental period. The renter is solely responsible for all damages resulting from refueling with the wrong type of fuel, or from accidentally refueling with water or water.
The traveler assumes criminal responsibility for all traffic violations detected by the police during the rental period. Penalties (fines, points deductions, etc.) are the sole responsibility of the traveler for any violations reported during the rental agreement period. The company reserves the right to send the relevant documents (identity document and driver's license) to the competent authorities for the issuance of fines to the rental agreement holder responsible for the violation, upon presentation of the evidence of the violation received by the company.
When the repair estimate(s) are less than the deductible, the insurance company will not request a vehicle inspection. The same applies to damages not covered by the insurance. In both cases, the cost of repairs will be the sole responsibility of the passenger if they are at fault, upon presentation of a repair estimate or invoice.
However, in the case of damage to a vehicle over 10 years old (and whose damaged part has not been replaced in the last 10 years), an obsolescence coefficient may be applied to distribute the cost of repairs between the company and the responsible passenger, based on the principle of the loss of value of an object due to its use, age, or technological advancements, resulting in a residual value. From the eleventh year onward, this distribution of the amount payable may be applied to the damaged components, up to 5% per additional year and up to a maximum of 50%. This distribution of costs between the company and the passenger will only apply in the absence of a vehicle inspection. Labor costs remain the sole responsibility of the passenger.
Furthermore, in the event of aggravation of damage, that is, when the damaged element already included visible damage in the vehicle condition check before the rental and it is impossible to repair said damage, leading to a mandatory replacement of the damaged element, it will not be possible to request an appraisal of the vehicle if it included excessively significant damage before the rental.
In the absence of a vehicle inspection, the company reserves the right to consider dividing the amount payable between the company and the passenger, depending on the extent of the initial damage, up to a maximum of 50% between the company and the passenger. If there is insufficient supporting documentation (photo, video) to estimate the initial damage, the cost of the replacement will be borne exclusively by the passenger.
For any damage, repair of the damaged item(s) will always be prioritized over replacement. However, if the damaged item(s) are irreparable, they will have to be replaced with new ones.
This applies even when the damage is to a single part or component that cannot be repaired or replaced. If a minor break renders the equipment unusable, it must be replaced entirely. The cost of replacement will be borne exclusively by the responsible party, except when the broken item is more than 10 years old. In this case, an obsolescence principle applies from the eleventh year onwards, at a rate of 5% for each additional year, up to a maximum of 50% of the cost shared between the company and the traveler. Labor and VAT are the sole responsibility of the traveler.
In the event of a rental interruption due to a vehicle breakdown or an incident where the traveler is at fault or cannot be determined, the traveler will not be entitled to a refund. Therefore, if the traveler wishes to use a replacement vehicle to continue their trip, they will be responsible for all costs associated with the new booking, including any related expenses and the new security deposit.
This rental agreement is expressly agreed upon and accepted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Both parties agree to conduct a thorough vehicle inspection upon both delivery and return. The vehicle inspections for the departure and return days must be completed by both parties and are equally valid; the burden of proof rests with the party questioning the accuracy of the vehicle's condition.
The traveler takes the vehicle in the condition it is in on the day of taking possession of the vehicle.
Unless otherwise stated on the vehicle condition report in the presence of both parties on the day the vehicle is handed over to the traveler, the traveler is deemed to receive the vehicle in good working order and clean, without further formalities. Once the traveler takes possession of the vehicle, they are responsible for its use, maintenance, and protection. Upon return of the vehicle, the company is deemed to receive it in good condition and clean, without further formalities. In the event of damage reported during the vehicle condition check on the day of return, which the traveler disputes, the traveler is responsible for providing the necessary evidence of their lack of responsibility for the damage(s). Otherwise, they will not be able to exclude their liability.

In the event of such damage, the traveler is obligated to immediately inform the company by phone, SMS, WhatsApp, or email.
If a passenger completes an accident report, it must be filled out at the scene of the accident with the other driver involved, in accordance with current regulations. No section should be omitted, partially filled out, filled out incorrectly, or made illegible. Special attention should be paid to the diagram explaining the accident. If the accident involves multiple vehicles, the passenger should complete an accident report with the driver of the vehicle in front and another with the driver of the vehicle following behind. If the other driver refuses to complete or sign the report, the passenger must obtain at least the license plate number of the other vehicle. The passenger should then try to obtain statements from witnesses or request the assistance of a police officer or Civil Guard.
The duly completed amicable report must be transmitted to the insurance company within a maximum period of five working days afterwards, previously submitted and validated by the company respecting the period of public order (art. L. 113-2 of the Insurance Code).
Attendance
Roadside assistance can be requested 24/7 if the vehicle stops working, i.e., if a warning light comes on, the vehicle won't start, or it cannot be driven safely. The traveler is required to follow the steps outlined in the incident procedure available on the insurance certificate. In case of equipment failure, the traveler will inform the company about the advisability of taking the vehicle to a workshop.
Assistance on roads, trails, or dunes is not considered roadside assistance, but rather rescue. The towing service may refuse to provide assistance, which will result in an additional charge for the traveler.
In a paper contract, if the language of expression is not common between the company and the traveler, both parties are responsible for understanding the content before signing it. Spanish or English should preferably be used.
The traveler has the right to refuse the rental if the vehicle's main features do not match the published description.

Personal belongings should not be left in plain sight, and the traveler must take all necessary precautions to prevent theft. Neither the company nor the Yescapa platform is responsible for theft, loss, or damage to the traveler's or passengers' belongings. In the event of theft, and without an identified or identifiable third party, the traveler will be responsible for all resulting damages.
In case of accident and/or damage to the vehicle (interior and/or exterior), the traveler agrees to notify the company immediately and without delay, by telephone call and/or email.
The traveler is required to notify the company by phone and/or email of any maintenance or repairs performed on the vehicle. The traveler may pay the invoice to continue their rental. The cost of the repair will be borne by the responsible party, company or traveler, depending on the cause of the breakdown/incident.
The driver(s) designated in this rental agreement must hold a valid Category B driving license for vehicles with a maximum authorized mass (MAM) of 3.5 tons or less. The driver(s) must be at least 25 years old and have held their driving license for at least two years.
The traveler agrees to treat the vehicle prudently and with the same precautions as if it were their own, and to carry out all mandatory checks as required by current circumstances. The traveler is obligated to perform normal, constant, and regular maintenance on the vehicle throughout the contract period and as long as they are in possession of the vehicle.
The traveler must bear all costs of necessary repairs to the vehicle or the deductibles of the applicable insurance, as a result of damage caused by their personal act, by third parties to the rental agreement or by any damage caused by an unidentified third party.
The traveler agrees to return the vehicle in perfect working order, drivable condition, and cleanliness, with a full fuel tank, an empty and clean toilet, wastewater emptied, and the exterior and interior cleaned. The vehicle must be returned in at least the same condition as when it was delivered to the traveler. If the vehicle is not returned in such condition, or unless otherwise stated on page 3 of the rental agreement, the company will be entitled to claim penalties as outlined below:
Negligence | Retention |
Unemptied sewage (WC) | 50 EUR |
Clean water tank filling not completed | 5 EUR |
Greywater emptying not performed | 15 EUR |
Exterior cleanliness (marks on the bodywork, rims, windshield) not in accordance with the initial condition of the vehicle. | 15 EUR |
Interior cleanliness (traces of use of the kitchen and bathroom, unswept floors, presence of waste or garbage) not in accordance with the initial condition of the vehicle. | 40 EUR for a camper van |
These penalties may accumulate depending on the vehicle's condition compared to the initial cleanliness level indicated in the vehicle condition check on the day of delivery. Furthermore, if the traveler fails to comply with any of the onboard living rules established by the company in its listing, they are also subject to the following penalties:
Rules of life on board | Retention |
Smoking is prohibited on board | 50 EUR |
Presence of pets | 50 EUR |
However, if the vehicle's condition requires professional cleaning, this service will be provided at the traveler's expense upon presentation of an invoice from the company. This service cannot be combined with any of the penalties mentioned above.
The amount(s) must be paid directly on the day the vehicle is returned, for the sole benefit of the company, to cover any maintenance or cleaning costs the company may incur. If the vehicle becomes immobilized, forcing the traveler to terminate the rental, and the immobilization is due to misuse or an accident caused by the traveler, the company may deduct the cleaning fee stipulated in these clauses from the traveler's security deposit. The security deposit specified in the rental agreement may be used to implement this measure.
The traveler may only leave the rental vehicle if assistance decides to do so following a vehicle breakdown. If the traveler leaves the vehicle for any other reason, they will automatically forfeit their right to a refund of the security deposit and will be financially responsible for the vehicle's return to the company's address, as well as for any damage caused to the vehicle until its return to the company's address.
Use of the vehicle during the entire rental period is only permitted within the territory of the Canary Islands. Failure to comply with these restrictions may result in the forfeiture of the security deposit.
In the event of vehicle immobilization due to a breakdown or an incident occurring outside the Canary Islands, the traveler is liable to cover the additional costs of repatriating the vehicle.
Both the digital contract and the paper contract will be available at the time of vehicle departure, in the language chosen by both parties.
In the event that the vehicle has superficial cosmetic damage (see table below) incurred during the rental period, the company must prioritize repair rather than replacement, which will be the responsibility of the traveler and therefore at their expense. Superficial cosmetic damage includes damage to the interior of the vehicle not covered by the rental insurance, such as the following:
Type of surface damage | Location of the damage |
Permanent stains (coffee, oil, glue, adhesive, etc.) | Fabrics (seats, cushions, mattresses, curtains) or other types of surfaces |
Scratches, scrapes | Any type of surface such as doors, partitions, screens, wardrobes, floors, etc. |
Impacts, chipping | Delicate surfaces such as sink, sink cover, basin, shower, lamp, table, etc. |
Small collisions | Partitions, doors, wardrobes, door handles or drawer pulls, etc. |
Spot burns (such as from cigarettes, kettles, coffee makers…) | Table, work surface, fabrics (cushions, seat, mattress), floors, etc. |
Information | Floors (linoleum), fabrics (cushions, seats, mattresses) and other types of surfaces. |
When it is impossible to repair superficial damage of an aesthetic nature, the traveler is obligated to compensate the company. The parties must agree on adequate compensation based on the extent of the damage and the original price of the damaged item.
- If the value of the damaged item is less than EUR 50: the traveler must replace the item or pay an amount equivalent to the price of a replacement item.
- If the item is valued at more than €50: the company may set a maximum repair cost of €150, depending on the extent of the damage and the item's price. Cosmetic damage cannot warrant replacing an item valued at more than €50 unless the damage renders the item unusable.
In the event that an aesthetic damage turns out to be a hidden damage, that is, that the item has been "covered up" to hide the damage, then the traveler will be considered responsible and will have to pay the cost of repairing said damage.
The traveler may not make any irreversible modifications, either inside or outside the vehicle, without the company's prior agreement. The traveler is required to check and monitor the levels of all vehicle fluids: engine oil, water, wastewater, power steering fluid, etc.
Windscreen cleaner and engine coolant. When necessary, the traveler must carry out this maintenance and replace the fluids.
The traveler must regularly check the tire pressure. As soon as necessary, the tires must be reinflated to the levels indicated in the vehicle's operating and maintenance guide provided by the manufacturer. This document must be given to the traveler by the company upon delivery of the vehicle.
The renter must replace any vehicle equipment damaged during the rental period. This includes, but is not limited to, windshield wipers, toilet paper, and light bulbs. The renter is responsible for all damages caused by their actions, negligence, or the negligence of third parties during the rental period. The renter is solely responsible for all damages resulting from refueling with the wrong type of fuel, or from accidentally refueling with water or water.
The traveler assumes criminal responsibility for all traffic violations detected by the police during the rental period. Penalties (fines, points deductions, etc.) are the sole responsibility of the traveler for any violations reported during the rental agreement period. The company reserves the right to send the relevant documents (identity document and driver's license) to the competent authorities for the issuance of fines to the rental agreement holder responsible for the violation, upon presentation of the evidence of the violation received by the company.
When the repair estimate(s) are less than the deductible, the insurance company will not request a vehicle inspection. The same applies to damages not covered by the insurance. In both cases, the cost of repairs will be the sole responsibility of the passenger if they are at fault, upon presentation of a repair estimate or invoice.
However, in the case of damage to a vehicle over 10 years old (and whose damaged part has not been replaced in the last 10 years), an obsolescence coefficient may be applied to distribute the cost of repairs between the company and the responsible passenger, based on the principle of the loss of value of an object due to its use, age, or technological advancements, resulting in a residual value. From the eleventh year onward, this distribution of the amount payable may be applied to the damaged components, up to 5% per additional year and up to a maximum of 50%. This distribution of costs between the company and the passenger will only apply in the absence of a vehicle inspection. Labor costs remain the sole responsibility of the passenger.
Furthermore, in the event of aggravation of damage, that is, when the damaged element already included visible damage in the vehicle condition check before the rental and it is impossible to repair said damage, leading to a mandatory replacement of the damaged element, it will not be possible to request an appraisal of the vehicle if it included excessively significant damage before the rental.
In the absence of a vehicle inspection, the company reserves the right to consider dividing the amount payable between the company and the passenger, depending on the extent of the initial damage, up to a maximum of 50% between the company and the passenger. If there is insufficient supporting documentation (photo, video) to estimate the initial damage, the cost of the replacement will be borne exclusively by the passenger.
For any damage, repair of the damaged item(s) will always be prioritized over replacement. However, if the damaged item(s) are irreparable, they will have to be replaced with new ones.
This applies even when the damage is to a single part or component that cannot be repaired or replaced. If a minor break renders the equipment unusable, it must be replaced entirely. The cost of replacement will be borne exclusively by the responsible party, except when the broken item is more than 10 years old. In this case, an obsolescence principle applies from the eleventh year onwards, at a rate of 5% for each additional year, up to a maximum of 50% of the cost shared between the company and the traveler. Labor and VAT are the sole responsibility of the traveler.
In the event of a rental interruption due to a vehicle breakdown or an incident where the traveler is at fault or cannot be determined, the traveler will not be entitled to a refund. Therefore, if the traveler wishes to use a replacement vehicle to continue their trip, they will be responsible for all costs associated with the new booking, including any related expenses and the new security deposit.
The deposit is intended to cover possible expenses arising from damages, accidents, misuse of the vehicle, the amount of the insurance deductible, excess mileage, fuel, cleaning, delays in return or any other amount owed by the traveler within the framework of the rental agreement.
The management of the deposit is subject to the signing of the rental agreement and the vehicle condition control sheet, both at the time of collection and return.
Modality according to contracted rate
Basic Rate
The traveler must provide a deposit of 800 €, which will be managed by card blocking, bank transfer or cash, as previously agreed between the parties.
Failure to provide the deposit at the time of departure will entitle the company to cancel the rental without the right to a refund.
Flex and Top Rates
These rates will not require the establishment of a traditional prior deposit.
However, the traveler expressly authorizes the company, By accepting this contract, you agree to charge the bank card provided during the booking or rental process in order to cover any amount arising from:
- Damage or defects to the vehicle
- Application of insurance franchises
- Exceptional cleanliness
- Fuel shortage
- Excessive mileage
- Delays in the return
- Fines, tolls, or penalties
- Any other breach of contract
These charges will always be made after assessing the damage or incident and notifying the traveler.
Refund and regularization
If the vehicle does not present any anomalies, the company will proceed to release the deposit (in the case of Basic rates) or close the file without charges (in Flex and Top rates) within a maximum period of 24-48 hours from the return.
In the event of damage or incidents, the company may withhold all or part of the corresponding amounts until the final cost of repair or compensation is determined.
The traveler will remain responsible for any fines, tolls, or penalties received after the end of the rental period corresponding to the period of use of the vehicle.
Acceptance
By signing the contract or accepting the conditions during the booking process, the traveler declares that they have been informed and expressly accepts the conditions for managing the deposit and, where applicable, the authorization of charges on their bank card in accordance with the provisions of this article.
Amicable resolution is the best option for quickly handling any damages or breach of contract. The guarantee and the guidelines in these clauses allow the parties to reach an amicable solution.
If the matter cannot be resolved amicably, either party, company and/or traveler, may initiate the proceedings before a competent court. For disputes and litigation involving amounts less than €4,000, the parties to the contract may resort to a local court.
