How does it work:
Example: 1st. time rent: you rented a car from us from 03/03/2018 08:00 – 06/03/2018 22:00, 4 days. The price is according the 2 – 5 days range and these days will be written on your Clients Card and you built up 4 days. Next time these 4 days will be counting towards the price per day range.
2nd time rent: you rent again a car with us from 28/03/03/2019 09:00 – 31/03/2019 21:00, 4 days. Together with the previous rent you rent(ed) in totally 8 days and the price per day will be in the 6 – 14 day range, making your rental much cheaper.
The Horizon Reward Program is not valid for the 1-day range.
Maximum granted within the Horizon Client Reward Program is the 15 – 30 day range.
Days built up ……….
– Will stay for the next 2 year (730 days, not calendar years)
