Fee Structure
The Times CAR RENTAL fee system is based on 6-hour rentals, 12-hour rentals, and 24-hour rentals.
If the rental exceeds the specified period, additional hourly or daily fees will be charged accordingly. The cheaper of these two fees will be charged after calculation.
If the user decides to return the vehicle before the scheduled return date, only the sum equivalent to the unused period will be refunded.
A midterm cancellation fee will be charged (calculated in accordance with the equation below).
Midterm cancellation fee = (Fee charged upon vehicle pickup - Used sum upon early return) x 50%
