1.Parties
The lessor is SAC Sportscars AG (hereinafter referred to as the “Lessor” or “SAC”). The lessee is the respective natural or legal person listed in the rental agreement who rents a vehicle from SAC (hereinafter referred to as the “Lessee”). The vehicles rented by SAC are generally exclusive sports cars from the luxury segment (hereinafter referred to as the “rental vehicles”), which is why the Lessee must comply with special requirements.
2.Lessee
The prerequisites for renting are a minimum age of 18 years and a Swiss category B driver’s license.
The Lessee may only transfer the usage rights from the rental agreement to another person with the Lessor’s consent. This additional driver must be specified at the time of contract signing.
3. rental price, deposit and payment methods
The agreed rental price and any agreed deposit must be paid in full before the start of the rental period. We reserve the right to make additional claims for use of the rental vehicle that goes beyond the agreement made (e.g. longer rental period).
SAC is entitled to offset the deposit against all claims against the tenant arising from or in connection with the rental agreement. A deposit may be required for international driving licenses. The amount of the deposit varies depending on the vehicle model and is refunded in full when the vehicle is returned in perfect condition.
Payment can be made by bank transfer, whereby SAC must receive the amount before the rental period begins. Alternatively, online payment by credit card is possible, with a surcharge of 3% on the rental price. Payment can also be made on-site in cash or via EC card.
4. Privacy policy
The SAC processes personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations. This includes, in particular, contact details, payment information and rental details that are required for the fulfillment of the contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR are processed.
Personal data will only be disclosed if it is necessary for contract fulfillment, required by law, or if the Lessee has given explicit consent.
The Lessee has the right to access, correct, delete, or object to the processing of their data. Requests can be sent to info@sac-sportscars.ch.

5.Bookings / cancellations
Bookings may be canceled by the Lessee up to 48 hours before the rental period begins. In the case of later cancellations by the Lessee, the full rental price remains due.
SAC reserves the right to cancel bookings due to bad weather or safety reasons without further explanation and without providing the Rental Vehicle. In such cases, the Lessee is not entitled to compensation.
6. Driving abroad
The Rental Vehicle may only be driven in Switzerland. Any exceptions must be approved in writing or by email by SAC in advance.

7. Use of the rental vehicle
The Lessee and any additional drivers must comply with the Swiss Road Traffic Act (SVG) at all times. The Lessee is solely responsible for all fines, legal proceedings, and other costs arising from violations of traffic laws, even if they were caused by an additional driver.
SAC, as the registered owner of the Rental Vehicle, is legally required to provide Lessee data to authorities upon official request. SAC may also submit vehicle usage records (including airbag control unit and infotainment system data) to authorities. A CHF 100.00 processing fee will be charged for administrative costs. SAC reserves the right to claim further damages.
The Lessee is responsible for all direct costs related to vehicle use, including fuel, tolls, and parking fees.

The Lessee is obliged to immediately report the revocation of their driver’s license as well as any circumstances that restrict their driving privileges, along with the temporary seizure or confiscation of the Rental Vehicle by SAC. The Lessee hereby authorizes SAC to access police and/or official records in the event of a damage claim.
Damage to the rental vehicle caused by engine over-revving, clutch overheating due to excessive slipping, aggressive starts, excessive tire wear, or any form of improper manipulation is fully borne by the Lessee. Such damages can be easily detected using diagnostic equipment.
9. Exclusions of liability
SAC and its agents disclaim all liability for contractual and non-contractual personal and/or property damages to the extent legally permissible and not covered by insurance. This includes liability for indirect damages, loss of profit, consequential damages, delays, vehicle unavailability, and missed business opportunities.

Damages to the rental vehicle, rims and tires, engine and transmission, as well as mechanical and electronic damages resulting from improper driving (e.g., deactivating ESP) are not covered by insurance. The Lessee is fully liable for these damages, regardless of fault. The Lessee is also fully liable for accidents or damages caused by gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
The consumption of alcohol and drugs before or during the rental period is prohibited. Damages resulting from driving under the influence of alcohol or drug consumption are not covered by insurance and must be fully borne by the Lessee.
