- All equipment is accounted for,
- No additional charges or traffic fines are outstanding.
5. Cancellation and Refund Policy
If you cancel within 24 hours of booking, the full sum will be refunded.

We understand that travel plans can change, and we aim to be as fair as possible.

Late returns may incur a fee of NOK 500kr per hour unless otherwise agreed.
The vehicle must be returned in the same condition as when it was picked up, including:

7. Mileage Policy
All rentals include unlimited mileage within Norway.
8. Insurance and Liability
All vehicles are insured with liability and comprehensive insurance.
The renter is responsible for a deductible of up to NOK 15000kr per incident.
Plus Insurance (optional)
For added peace of mind, renters may choose Plus Insurance for NOK 300kr per day.
With Plus Insurance, you do not have to pay the deductible (normally NOK 15000kr) if an accident or damage occurs.
In other words, you will not be charged any extra amount in the event of an incident.
The renter remains responsible for:
- Any damage not covered by insurance (e.g., due to negligence, excessive off-road driving, or unauthorized use),
- Lost keys, windshield cracks, tire damage, or damage to the vehicle’s interior.
9. Use of the Vehicle
Smoking inside the vehicle is strictly prohibited.
Pets are permitted in our vehicles. In the future, designated pet-free vehicles will be available for customers with allergies or sensitivities.
The vehicle may only be used within Norway unless otherwise agreed in writing.
The renter must comply with all traffic and parking regulations and is fully responsible for any tickets, tolls, or penalties incurred during the rental period.
Prohibited uses include:
- Excessive off-road driving,
- Racing or speed testing,
- Towing other vehicles,
- Transporting hazardous materials,
- Any illegal or negligent use.
10. Technical Issues and Emergencies
In case of a technical issue or breakdown, MonkeyTours AS must be contacted immediately.
If the vehicle cannot be driven safely, do not continue driving.
In the event of an accident with personal injury or damage to other vehicles or property, you must first contact the police and/or emergency services, and then notify MonkeyTours AS as soon as possible.
- Fill out the accident report form found in the “Important Stuff” folder located in the glove box.
- Cooperate with insurance and police authorities if required.
If a breakdown prevents further travel, MonkeyTours AS will assist with roadside help and, if possible, offer a replacement vehicle or refund for unused rental days.
MonkeyTours AS is not responsible for indirect losses such as missed accommodations or travel plans.
11. Damage and Inspection
All vehicles are inspected before and after each rental.
Any new damage discovered upon return will be documented with photos and an inspection report.
MonkeyTours AS will assess repair costs based on professional estimates, and the renter will be notified before any charges are applied.
12. Personal Belongings
MonkeyTours AS is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to personal belongings left in the vehicle at any time during or after the rental.
13. Penalties for Breach of Terms
Violation of these terms may result in additional fees or liability for damages.
