Surprice charged you for damage or fuel? What Surprice must prove
If Surprice has charged your card after a rental (for damage, fuel, an admin fee or extras), you can ask for the evidence before you accept it. This page lists published facts about Surprice and the routes open to you. It is not a review and says nothing about any individual case.
Who you contracted with
Legal entity not confirmed; most stations are franchised, so the contracting company is the one named on your rental agreement. (Source: surpricemobility.com)
The company named on your rental agreement is the one you contracted with; it can differ by country and for franchised stations.

ECRCS: free conciliation
Surprice is not on the ECRCS participant list (checked 2026-11-14), so ECRCS cannot take complaints about it. Use the firm's complaint process, the local complaint book where there is one, your European Consumer Centre and, if you choose, your card issuer.
Public regulator decisions
We found no regulator decision about Surprice in our sources (checked 2026-11-14). That says nothing about any individual case.
What a rental firm must prove for a damage charge
- that the damage exists: dated photos taken at return
- that it was not there at pickup: the pickup condition report and photos
- that it was found at return, ideally in an inspection you could attend
- what it actually cost: a repair invoice or an itemised quote
- the contract clause relied on, within the excess or deposit you agreed
In Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Croatia and Malta the general rule is that the party claiming payment proves the facts. Pre-written clauses that shift that burden onto the consumer may be unfair (Directive 93/13/EEC).
Your steps
- Ask the firm in writing for the evidence (condition reports, dated photos, repair invoice, fee calculations) and give it 14 days.
- In Spain or Portugal you can also use the complaint book (Hoja de Reclamaciones / Livro de Reclamações).
- If you live in another EU country, your European Consumer Centre helps for free.
- Card payments: your card issuer has its own dispute process and decides on it. We give general information only.
Upload your agreement, invoice or card statement and see what the firm must prove, your red flags and which routes apply.
