Peugeot Cancellation Policy
Applicable Cancellation Charges for Peugeot Open Europe:
- Cancel more than 21 days before pickup: US$75.00 cancelation fee
- Cancel less than 21 days before pickup and no registration: US$400.00 cancelation fee
- Cancel less than 21 days before pickup but with registration: US$900.00 cancelation fee
- No Show: US$950.00
*When cancelling less than 21 days in advance, we will advise of the cancellation penalty within two business days of the cancellation request. The cancellation penalty is based on a change in French law which does not allow registration of a vehicle to be made invalid for short term leasing. The lease vehicle once registered can no longer be considered a new vehicle and incurs a cancel penalty of US$900.00.
In case of force majeure (death, serious illness or accident), if it is properly documented, the fee/penalty may be reduced depending on circumstances.
