You understand and agree that you must meet the eligibility requirements at all times that you use a car through the marketplace; if, after initial approval, you later fail to meet the eligibility requirements (e.g., you have a subsequent driving violation that would make you ineligible), you are required to inform us of the change in status and refrain from renting or driving cars via Kwelan.

Kwelan operates strictly as a peer-to-peer marketplace platform that facilitates vehicle bookings between independent vehicle owners (“Partners”) and customers (“Renters”). Kwelan does not own, lease, manage, or operate any vehicles listed on the platform and is NOT A CAR RENTAL COMPANY.

In consideration for providing access to the platform, enabling listings, processing bookings, facilitating payments, and providing related administrative and support services, Kwelan charges the Customers a non-refundable service fee equivalent to twenty-five percent (25%) of the total booking amount.

Transparent Pricing Display. Kwelan is committed to full pricing transparency. Before confirming any booking, the Renter shall be presented with a clear, itemized breakdown showing:
(a) The daily rental price set by the vehicle Owner;
(b) The Kwelan service fee of 25% of the total booking amount;
(c) Any applicable taxes or levies; and
(d) The total final price payable.

The Renter acknowledges that they have reviewed and accepted this total price before proceeding with the booking. No additional fees shall be charged without prior disclosure, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (e.g., late return fees, damages, or fines).”

This service fee represents compensation solely for the use of the Kwelan platform and booking facilitation services and is separate from the vehicle rental price set by the Partner. The Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that the service fee is payable to Kwelan for platform usage and facilitation only and does not constitute payment for vehicle rental, vehicle condition, or vehicle performance.

By proceeding with a booking, the Customer confirms acceptance of Kwelan’s role as an intermediary platform and agrees to the applicable service fee structure

The Renter expressly acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) The Kwelan service fee represents compensation solely for facilitating the booking, providing the platform, and enabling the peer-to-peer transaction between Owner and Renter.
(b) This fee is separate from and in addition to the vehicle rental price set by the Owner.
(c) The service fee is non-refundable once the booking is confirmed, except in the event that Kwelan cancels the booking due to a verified platform issue.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit your responsibilities or Kwelan legal rights in connection with your use of the marketplace (or any vehicles rented through the marketplace). The renter gives authority to Kwelan to charge for any additional damage or costs as set out in this agreement that exceeds the deposit amount paid by the renter to their card/payment method used for their car rental payment on Kwelan partner’s website to process the payment.
