For example, a radio tape recorder, a jack, a cigarette lighter, documents for the car, first-aid kit, keys. If they are lost or damaged, you will have to pay a fine. The amount of the penalty does not depend on the type of insurance, it is not included in the franchise. In the lease agreement, the list of these things and the amount of the fine are indicated.

The amount of gasoline with which the car is provided should appear in the lease agreement. With the same amount of gasoline you need to return the car, otherwise you will have to pay it at a higher price (usually about 30 rubles per liter).

At long-term rent of the car (for the term of more than 1 month) you, probably, should arrive to the point of hire for carrying out of scheduled maintenance of the car. For this period (if the service will last more than 1 day) you must provide a car of this class for replacement.

For theft of parts and components, as well as for causing damage to the car by actions of third parties:

The detected damage will be fixed in a special application, which will indicate the amount you need to pay (damage, loss of uninsured parts, additional services that you used).

When returning the car, make sure that it contains the amount of gasoline you rented, otherwise you will have to pay for gasoline at a price much higher than usual (usually around 30 rubles per liter). Also the case is with the cleanliness of the car and its interior: in most car rental companies you will have to pay for a car wash.

Please note that the rental contract specifies the exact time in which you need to return the car, try to return it on time, because for 2-3 hours delay you will be paid already as for the next day (especially when renting a car abroad).
