One deal, clear responsibilities
So that you always know whom to contact: this is how the work is divided between you, the commercial agent and the German contracting party.
You
- choose the car
- accept the offer and sign the contract
- pay the fee and the deposit
- drive — and let us know if anything happens
Mr. Job SK s.r.o. (Slovakia)
- offer, advice in Czech, Slovak, English or German
- help with paperwork
- help with vehicle registration (on the basis of a power of attorney)
- point of contact for damage, servicing and fines
Caradvance GmbH (Germany)
- contracting party: seller or lessor
- concludes and signs contracts, invoicing, deposit management
- transport of the vehicle for sales with delivery
- owner of the car during the rental
- insurance (comprehensive, third-party liability)
In short: the contract, invoice and deposit are always tied to Caradvance GmbH — Mr. Job SK s.r.o. helps as commercial agent; it is neither seller nor lessor and does not conclude contracts on behalf of Caradvance GmbH.
How the monthly fee is made up
One fixed monthly fee — covering everything involved in running the car. Here's what's included, and what isn't.
Included in the monthly fee
- Use of the carA new car with 0 km on the clock for the entire rental period — the depreciation risk is ours.
- Comprehensive and third-party liability insuranceWe take it out and pay for it; in the event of a claim, you only pay the deductible.
- Servicing and maintenanceAccording to the manufacturer's specifications, at the designated workshop.
- Vehicle taxWe pay the tax on the German-registered car.
- Summer and winter tyresBoth sets, including seasonal changeover and storage of the set not in use.
- Registration, German platesThe car is registered to Caradvance GmbH, with all paperwork in order.
Not included — paid by the renter
- Fuel or chargingRefuelling — or charging, for electric cars — is the renter's responsibility.
- Vignette, parking, finesFines incurred during the rental are handled with the authorities using the renter's details.
- Excess mileageKilometres above the allowance are charged at the rate set in the contract.
- Excess in the event of an insured incidentAccording to individual agreement in the contract.
Itemised purchase price, no hidden costs
If we import a car for you from Germany, you receive an itemised quotation in euros set in advance — with the final price “to your door”.
Items in the quote
- purchase price of the car
- Registration fee
- technical inspection
- Originality check
- Transfer fee
- registration certificate, number plates, vehicle title
- insured transport
- administration fee
How you pay:
30 % deposit
After signing the contract. You can view the sample contract before signing.
Viewing
Once the car has arrived, you can view it and check everything.
70 % balance
Only after the viewing — the final handover follows.
Liability for defects — 1 year for used cars (under the purchase contract), 2 years for new cars.
Where does the deposit go, and when do you get it back?
Depending on the model, the deposit is between 2 000 € and 10 000 €. It is a security, not a rental fee: you pay it to Caradvance GmbH, it does not bear interest, and it is returned after settlement at the end of the rental.
Signing the contract
The deposit amount for the car is set out in the contract; you can see it in advance on every car's card and in every offer. The offer also states whether it has to be paid at the start.
During the rental
The deposit is a security, not rent, and earns no interest. If an amount is deducted from it (for example, the deductible for a claim), it must be topped up within 8 days.
Return
We jointly record the car's condition in the handover and return report. In case of dispute, an independent expert appointed by both parties decides.
Settlement
We may only deduct items listed in the contract — itemised and invoiced. Normal wear and tear is accepted.
Refund
We transfer the remaining amount no later than 30 days after the return and the closure of any open damage or fine cases.
If something goes wrong: who handles it, and what do you need to do?
Comprehensive and third-party liability insurance are part of the monthly fee — we handle the claim with the insurer. Here's all you need to do.
At the scene
If a third party is involved, or in the event of personal injury, theft or vandalism, call the police. Fill in the European Accident Statement and photograph the scene and the damage.
Notify us within 24 hours
Call +421 915 410 555 or write to info@caradvance.cz. We handle the claim settlement with the insurer.
Repair and replacement car
Repairs are carried out at the designated workshop. For the first 10 working days, we provide a replacement car of a similar category, subject to fleet availability.
Breakdown
If the car is off the road for more than 2 working days for reasons not attributable to you, we provide a replacement car or credit the fee pro rata for the lost days.
Deductible
The amount of the excess is set by individual agreement in the rental contract. You do not pay it if the damage is covered in full by the insurer of an identified third party.
Fines
Fines incurred during the rental are payable by the renter. Processing the first fine is free of charge; from the second onwards, an administration fee of €30 per case applies.
All terms, available to read in advance
You can read everything before signing — and if anything is unclear, just ask.
Questions about transparency
Who do I sign the contract with?+
Every purchase and rental contract is concluded with the German company Caradvance GmbH (Geretsried, Amtsgericht München HRB 151009). It also issues the invoice, and you pay the deposit to it as well. Mr. Job SK s.r.o. is the commercial agent for the Czech Republic and Slovakia: it communicates with you in Czech, Slovak, English or German and helps with the paperwork.
Why is the contracting party a German company?+
The cars are bought and registered by Caradvance GmbH in Germany, which is why it is the contracting party of every purchase and rental contract. That is also why rented cars run on German licence plates.
What determines the exact monthly fee?+
On the version, colour, equipment package, rental period and mileage limit. We set prices in euros; the price in crowns (Kč) is indicative, converted at the daily exchange rate. The exact payment is stated in the offer for the specific car.
Are there any hidden costs?+
No. With long-term rental you only pay fuel, the motorway vignette, parking and any fines, excess kilometres or insurance excess on top of the monthly fee. When buying, we give you an itemised quote in euros fixed in advance.
When do I get my deposit back?+
No later than 30 days after the return and the closure of any open damage or fine cases, after the itemised deductions provided for in the contract.
