The first question that comes to people’s mind about renting a car may be: “What documents are required to rent a car?” And what guarantees do you get?” In this article, we intend to give full answers to these questions and other such questions. And explain the reason for receiving each of the documents and guarantees in full. On the other hand, for some people who have lived in other countries for many years and have experience renting cars outside of Iran, the conditions in Iran seem a bit difficult for them, and we will discuss this issue further and the reasons for the differences in conditions and documents. We will explain the need to rent a car in Iran and abroad.
Terms and age restrictions
You may have the question why most Iranian car rental companies and even foreign renters set age requirements for car rental? Or why do they receive more deposits for younger people? For example, in most international companies, there is an age requirement of 18 years, but if the applicant is between 18 and 25 years old, he must pay a higher rent or a higher insurance fee. For example, we can refer to the car rental company Enterprise . that through this link you can check the age restrictions imposed by this See the American car rental company in the Young Driver Fees section. In Shahab Rent car rental complex, the age limit for car rental applicants is 18 years. And if the applicant for luxury cars is under 23 years old, he should put more deposit and guarantee. We will discuss the deposit amount in detail later. The reason for this deposit is mostly due to the lack of skill in controlling the car due to the lack of driving experience and the higher risk taking of young people in driving.
obligation to deposit cash or non-cash and its types
Perhaps the most important and key part of renting a car in Iran is the deposit. A deposit is money, goods, or a guarantee that you provide to the car rental company for possible damages and expenses, in case of an accident or traffic exceeding the permitted mileage or other expenses, including the damages of third parties and up to the payment of tolls, car wash and gasoline and…. to be spent from that place without legal formalities. This amount of the deposit varies according to the type of car, the price of the car, and even the condition of the color and color of the car. In general, the deposit can be divided into cash and non-cash deposits, or both (some cash and non-cash guarantees).
Non-cash deposit (goods)
A non-cash deposit accepted for car rental includes goods that are highly liquid, for example, manufactured or melted gold, or bank coins, or valuable mobile phones, such as iPhones, or Samsung flagships, or even laptops. It becomes days. An important point regarding the non-cash deposit is the expert’s discussion of the price of the goods, which is equivalent to the expert’s price and valuation of the car rental company. For example, for manufactured gold, the manufacturing fee or its gems are not included in the valuation, and only the value of its gold is included. And as for depositing a mobile phone as a transfer deposit in the Hamta system and mobile phone registry and presenting its carton, it is mandatory that through the Hamta system The ownership of the phone is transferred to Shahab Rent at the beginning of the contract, and at the end of the contract, it returns to the car renter through the peer-to-peer system of ownership of the mobile phone.
Cash deposit (riyal, foreign currency)
The cash deposit should be in the form of Rials or foreign currencies or even digital currencies, including stablecoins or other valid digital currencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, etc.). The cash deposit will be returned to the applicant when the car is returned and the contract ends. And only a small amount of around 5 million tomans for a bad loan for a month’s return remains with Shahab Rent. It is worth mentioning that you will receive the deposit receipt when signing the contract and paying the deposit, and it is obvious that you should return the receipt when you return the car.
Important: The trick of fraudsters is to return the deposit on time. It is strongly recommended to receive a receipt when paying the deposit. And when you return the car, you must receive your entire deposit after deducting the security deposit (5 million Tomans).
General car warranty (check or promissory note)
As mentioned before, in Iran, car rental conditions are a bit more complicated than in other countries. In Iran, in addition to depositing a cash or non-cash deposit, you must place a check or promissory note worth at least half of the car’s daily value with Shahab Rent. Presenting a check or promissory note as a guarantee is for this reason. that if the amount of damage to the car is higher than expected and the deposit received can be provided from that place. In some cases, these documents may be used due to the sharp drop in car prices or insurance companies not accepting the damages. If a person does not have a check, it is possible to submit a promissory note. As you know, promissory notes are securities that must be purchased. The car rental applicant can purchase the necessary promissory note from National Bank or use the promissory notes purchased by the collection and pay for it.
