  1. Is the fee calculated only for driving time?

Answer: No, the time is counted from opening the door to the end of the service. Trip fee is calculated based on time spent + kilometer fee. 

  1. Do I have to charge the car when I return it?

Answer: It is not always necessary and it is not always possible. The charging point is not the ELMO Rent return point, but the charging point is a “gas station” for electric vehicles and all electric vehicles charge there. If the car battery is more than 50% full, you do not need to charge it, in this case do not park in front of the EnefitVolt charging station. However, if the battery is less than 50% full and the charging station is free, the car should be charged if possible. Thank you!

  1. How to charge the car and stop charging?

Answer: For the Nissan Leaf, use the Chademo adapter at the EnefitVolt quick charging station and the CCS adapter for other cars. Renault, Volkswagen and Škoda charge with the help of the Type 2 wired AC plug found in the car. At all EnefitWolt stations, you need to use the plastic card you can find in the car to activate charging

  1. connect the cable to the car
  2. read the EnefitVolt card
  3. press the START button next to the corresponding cable.
  4. When the car has started charging successfully, you will see blue lights flashing behind the windscreen on the Nissan armature, Zoe color codes are marked on the car’s charging hatch and the charging portal changes color according to the activity, VW and Skoda also change colors on the charging portal, charging is indicated by a green light.

End of charging:

When the car battery is full, charging stops automatically and releases the plug. You can release it simply by pressing the corresponding button.

If the car is still charging, the cable cannot be disconnected, so you must do the following:

  1. Let the charger read the EnefitVolt card
  2. press the STOP button on the cable
  3. after changing the corresponding color codes, the car releases the cable. If the cable or loading hatch is still closed, it is advisable to open the doors again either from the remote control, the buttons on the driver’s door or the button with the gas station sign to the left of the steering wheel.
  4. NB! You must take a suitable to the AC charger Type 2 cable included in the car kit. If you have left this cable, the next charge cannot be performed!!!
  5. How fast can different models be charged with different chargers?

Answer: The charging time of the car depends on the size of the car battery and how full it is.

The smaller the battery, the faster it charges, and the shorter is the range.

If the battery is empty:

Chademo quick charger (Nissan leaf) 40 minutes to 1 hour

CCS charger 40 minutes to 1 hour

AC charger 2-4 hours

Home charger 8-12 hours (may take longer).

  1. If I see a dent in the car or the car is very dirty before starting the rental, what should I do?

Answer: Please take a photo and send it to info@elmorent.ee

Answer: Please log in with your personal code and password. We do not use an email address to log in.

  1. Why haven’t I received a bill for the rent?

Answer: You probably haven’t finished the rental and you’ve just closed the doors. Upon successful rental, you will receive a text message that the rental session has ended. After a while you will receive your bill soon and the payment will be made from your bank account.

  1. Why do I get a notification that I am inactive or that I already have an active rental session??

Answer: You are inactive if you have an unpaid bill. An active session means that you have rented a car already and you cannot rent two cars.

In any case, the idea of the notification is that for one reason or another you cannot rent.
