Occasionally, when there are no cars available in the specified category, the rental company will provide a higher category. It is important to note that the categorization is decided by the rental company and Your Cuba has no decision-making power over it. Automatic transmission categories are generally considered to be superior to their peers with manual transmission. In extreme cases, when the car rental company is forced to deliver a car of a lower category, the difference between the two categories will be refunded if the customer accepts the change or the total amount if he wishes to cancel his reservation.

      3. Pick-up location. On some occasions, the car pick-up location may be changed by the supplier from one office to another other than the one specified in the booking. In cases where this occurs, Your Cuba will facilitate and pay for the transfer of the customer to the new collection office Your Cuba will under no circumstances compensate for any inconvenience, waste of time, etc. What this situation could cause.

      4. Delivery times.
